Frequently Asked Questions - TR4000i LifeSpan

How do I set the date and time on my TR4000i console?
Remove the safety key and reinstall it. Press any quick speed button for 3 seconds until the year flashes. Use UP/DOWN to set year, press ENTER. Repeat for month, day, hour, and minutes.
Why does my treadmill belt slip during use?
The belt may need tensioning. At 3 mph, turn both rear adjustment bolts 1/2 turn clockwise using a 6mm Allen wrench. If slippage continues, repeat up to 2 full turns. Over-tightening can cause damage.
What should I do if the console does not light up?
Check that the power cord is plugged into a working outlet and the safety key is inserted. Turn the power switch off and on. If still off, ensure all wiring harnesses inside the console are properly connected.
How do I fold and unfold the TR4000i treadmill?
To fold: turn off and unplug, lift from the rear support bar until the hydraulic shock locks. To unfold: push the treadmill forward and depress the shock release with your foot, then gently lower. Always maintain 2 ft clearance on sides and front, 4 ft behind.
Why does the Intelli-Guard feature keep pausing my workout?
Intelli-Guard auto-pauses when no steps are detected. At speeds under 1.5 mph or incline above 5, this feature is disabled automatically. You can turn it off in Engineering Mode by pressing STOP then SPEED UP, then use ENTER to toggle.
How often should I lubricate the running belt?
Every 3 months or every 50 hours of use, whichever comes first. Use 100% silicone lubricant (non-aerosol). Apply one ounce to the underside of the belt while rotating it. A silicone icon will remind you after 100 hours.
Can I use a chest strap heart rate monitor with this treadmill?
Yes, the TR4000i includes a wireless chest strap. For the TR3000i, a chest strap can be purchased separately. Ensure the strap electrodes are moist and positioned correctly. Grip pulse sensors are also available on the handlebars.
The treadmill motor seems strained and shows an E1 error. What does that mean?
E1 typically indicates the belt needs lubrication. Apply 100% silicone to the underside of the belt. If the problem persists, check belt tension and alignment, or contact LifeSpan Customer Service.
How do I reset the maintenance or silicone icon on the console?
Simultaneously press and hold the SPEED DOWN and START buttons until the icon turns off. For the silicone icon, it will appear for 5 minutes; you can clear it earlier by holding those buttons. The maintenance icon appears every 150 hours.
What is the warranty coverage for the TR4000i treadmill?
For residential use in the US/Canada: Lifetime warranty on frame and motor, 5 years on parts, 1 year on labor. You must register the product within 30 days of purchase to activate warranty. The warranty is non-transferable.

Starting an Exercise Program

Starting an exercise program can sound like a daunting task, but just remember that your main goal is to boost your health by meeting the basic physical activity recommendations.

Before you begin an exercise program or substantially increase your level of activity, be sure to consult your primary care physician. In preparation for a visit you may also want to take the PAR-Q Assessment. This Physical Activity Readiness Questionnaire (PAR-Q) will help you determine your suitability for beginning an exercise program and prepare you for discussing your physical activity program with your physician.

  1. Has your doctor ever said that you have a heart condition or that you should participate in physical activity only as recommended by a doctor?
  2. Do you feel pain in your chest during physical activity?
  3. In the past month, have you had chest pain when you were not doing physical activity?
  4. Do you lose your balance because of dizziness?
  5. Do you ever lose consciousness?
  6. Do you have a bone or joint problem that could be made worse by a change in your physical activity?
  7. Is your doctor currently prescribing drugs for your blood pressure or a heart condition?
  8. Do you know of any reason you should not participate in physical activity?

If you answered yes to one or more of the questions, if you are over 40 years of age and have been inactive, or if you are concerned about your health, consult a physician before beginning an exercise program or substantially increasing your physical activity. If you answered no to each question, then it's likely you can begin an exercise program.

Pre-Exercise Resting Heart Rate Check

Before beginning your exercise program it is recommended that you check your resting heart rate. Your resting heart rate should be taken in a seated, relaxed position. Find your resting pulse and begin your count with "zero" on the first heart beat. Continue counting each time you feel your pulse until you have counted for a full 30 seconds. Next, double the number that you counted for 30 seconds and you now have your pre-exercise resting heart rate. Remember this number as we also recommend taking a post-exercise resting heart rate after you have completed your exercise program and you will want to remember your pre-exercise heart rate so you can compare the two heart rate measurements.

Assembly

At LifeSpan we strive to make our equipment easy to assemble and start using. Parts that can be pre-assembled are always assembled and tested on the production line.

Since your treadmill is a heavy piece of equipment it is recommended that you use two people during assembly and follow these assembly instructions to reduce any problems that could occur.

Reading Your Heart Rate

LifeSpan TR4000i - Reading Your Heart Rate - 1

natural_image Line drawing of a treadmill with a control panel and articulated arms (no text or symbols)

Contact Heart Rate Sensors are built into the handlebargrips of the TR3000i and TR4000i to monitor your heart rate during exercise. To use, grasp the sensors with a comfortable grip, with the palms of your hands placed over the sensors. If the sensors are having difficulty picking up your heart rate you may consider using aloe or a moisturizer on your hands or you can warm up as you exercise to increase the moisture in your hands. Dry hands do not transfer your pulse as effectively as moist hands.

Do not squeeze tightly as this can cause your blood pressure to rise. It will take a few seconds for the console to calculate your heart rate accurately.

In addition to the contact heart rate sensors, both the TR3000i and TR4000i have a built-in receiver for the use of a wireless chest strap. The TR4000i includes a chest strap. To purchase a chest strap for the TR3000i go to www.lifespanfitness.com

Note: The heart rate monitoring system will vary due to the users method of use, physiology, age and other factors. LifeSpan does not guarantee the accuracy of the heart rate readings for all users.

Remember that to use the My Zone Heart Rate Control Programs you will need to use a chest strap or keep your hands on the sensors.

Custom User Set-up Programs

There are two user programs that provide you with the ability to establish customized program profiles specific to your workout requirements. For each user set-up program, first set the workout time then set weight then the speed and incline for each segment in the program profile by pressing either the up and down arrows for speed and incline or using the quick select buttons. After obtaining your desired selection press enter to move to the next column in the program profile. This program will now be saved for you each time you select it and press the "start" button.

My Zone Heart Rate Control Programs

The TR3000i and TR4000i comes with two types of heart rate control programs- Constant and Interval and within each of these you can select either a "Speed" control option or an "Incline" control option.

There is a 3 minute warm up for this program prior to the treadmill taking control of the speed or incline.

Note: To use the Heart Rate Control programs the treadmill needs to receive your heart rate throughout the entire workout either through using the grip pulse pads or a chest strap heart rate transmitter.

Constant Heart Rate Control: The "Constant" program lets you select a single heart rate that you want to maintain throughout your workout and the treadmill will maintain this heart rate for you by either adjusting the speed or the incline. After selecting the Constant Heart Rate program the next selection option will be Incline Mode or Speed Mode. Select which mode you prefer and the treadmill will adjust the speed or incline every 10 seconds to keep you at your selected heart rate level. For instance, if you select the incline mode there will be a 3 minute warm up and then the incline will start to adjust each 10 seconds obtain and maintain your target heart rate. You choose the speed that you want the belt to run and the treadmill will control the incline.

Typically for Weight Loss set the target heart rate at 65% of your predicted maximum heart rate and for Cardio Training set the target at 80% of your predicted maximum.

http://www.lifespanfitness.com/article\_weight\_calc2.asp

Interval Heart Rate Control: The "Interval" program is designed to help you increase your aerobic endurance and improve heart rate recovery. This program lets you select a LOW or recovery target heart rate and a HIGH target. After a 3 minute warm-up the console will adjust the speed or incline, which ever you select, every 10 seconds to maintain your LOW target to 2 minutes. Then the console will adjust the speed or incline to raise your heart rate to the HIGH target that you selected and once again keep it at this level for 2 minutes and then repeat the process until the end of the workout. It is recommended that you set the workout time to 20 minutes or higher to use this program effectively.

Innovative Features

Intelli-Guard: This treadmill is equipped with the Intelli-Guard safety feature. This feature senses when you stop walking on the treadmill and for safety purposes it automatically pauses the treadmill to avoid accidental falls and resulting injury. The Intelli-Guard feature is triggered when the treadmill senses that you are no longer walking or running on the treadmill.

Caution: The Intelli-Guard feature will automatically be disengaged when the treadmill is operated at speeds under 1.5 mph or at an incline level over 5.

If the speed or incline is within these parameters the step icon will flash.

When the icon flashes, the treadmill will not auto-pause

Caution: At 20 seconds the console will beep once per second for 5 seconds and then automatically pause the treadmill. These beeps are a notice that the treadmill belt is about to stop. If for some reason you are still on the treadmill when this occurs move your feet to the side rails and prepare for the belt to stop. The Intelli-Guard feature does not replace the use of your saftey key or using proper precaution in stopping the treadmill when it is not in use.

Intelli-Step: The treadmill comes with the Intelli-Step counting feature. This feature senses the resistance on the running belt each time your foot strikes. There are several factors that will effect the accuracy of this feature including your walking style, your weight, and your usage characteristics. For example, the Intelli-Step feature will have a more difficult time picking up the steps of a light user and especially a light user walking at an incline. The higher the incline the more difficult it is for the feature to recognize steps. This may also be the case at lower speeds. In summary, the Intelli-Step is a great feature for users interested in maintaining a step count walking or running program, but it is dependant on many variables for accuracy and the accuracy of the count will depend on your individual characteristics as well as variables related to the treadmills usage.

UBS Port: The TR3000i and TR4000i include a USB port that works with the Interactive Health Partner online health management system. Simply insert your USB flash drive into the console, after loading your profile from the IHP system onto the flash drive. The USB will read your personal information and then save your workout data every 20 seconds onto the flash drive. Information saved includes your heart rate, workout start and finish time, distance travelled, calories burned and steps taken. This information can then be uploaded into your account, summarized over time and used to compare your results with the goals you

USB Port

set in your personal IHP account. Prior to using your USB, make sure you refer to the "Getting Started Guide" and "Success Guide" found in your membership kit, located in your owner's manual packet.

Energy Saving Mode: The energy saving mode cuts all power to the treadmill with the exception of one dimly lit LED at the Start button. This will cut power consumption to well under 0.1 watts.

Don't remove the USB flash drive while the LED light is flashing red - you may lose your workout information

Program Overview

Folding Treadmill

The advance console used on the TR3000i and TR4000i includes programs grouped into each of the following 5 areas: Sports Training, Healthy Living, Weight Management, Heart Rate Control and User Defined Programs. For each of these program groups you can choose to run this program as a Speed Control program or an Incline Control program. After selecting the program, if you select Speed Control then the speed will change throughout the workout following the profile of that specific program. If you choose Incline after selecting the program, the incline will change throughout the workout following the profile of that specific program. This is true for all program types except for the Custom User Programs which allow you to preselect both the Speed and Incline of the program.

A Plateau Climb workout will provide you with all the benefits of the other steady state workouts, but push you to maintain a higher steady state intensity exercise level. As you improve your overall health and fitness you can slowly and of course always comfortably push yourself to higher overall exercise intensity for longer periods of time. Remember, if you simply get on your treadmill and go at the same pace, for the same amount of time every day when you workout, your body will only improve to the level of the workouts you are currently pushing yourself to do. In order to improve your overall health and fitness, you need to always "change" your workouts so you don't do the same workout within one week, while at the same time slowly increase your overall exercise intensity while also increasing your overall exercise time.

Steady Pace workouts are great for helping you establish an improved overall endurance base.

Most "Steady Pace" workouts focus on maintaining one set workload level throughout the entire workout. As you begin the Steady Pace workout your intensity level will start out at a very slow pace, then increase to a moderate pace for the duration of your workout. Your goal is to be sure you are exercising within a low moderate intensity to a high moderate intensity during the workout.

their overall cardiovascular fitness. Varying your exercise intensity during a workout from a moderately slow level to a high intensity for a set period of time and repeating that progression for a complete workout will maximize the total number of calories burned during a workout. A second benefit is the individual will not be forced to maintain a high intensity exercise level throughout the entire workout. The short interval recovery periods allows the body to more successfully exercise at a higher intensity than might otherwise be comfortable for the individual for a complete workout duration.

Belt Lubrication

Use only 100% Silicone and avoid using aerosol silicone sprays which include additives and petroleum distillates. One ounce of Silicone should be used for each application. LifeSpan offers 100% silicone lubricant that can be ordered at www.lifespanfitness.com.

The running belt should be lubricated every 3 months (regardless of use) or every 50 hours of use, whichever comes first. Even if the treadmill is not being used, silicone will dissipate over time and the belt will dry out.

Note: Even though the running belt is lubed from the manufacturer, you should lubricate the running belt when first using the treadmill in case the belt has dried some between the dates the unit was manufactured and when it was purchased.

The Silicone icon will turn on in the display every 100 hours of use and is a reminder that it is time to lubricate the running belt. As indicated above it is best to lubricate the running belt every 50 hours of use. This is a reminder for the 2nd 50 hours. The icon will be in the display for 5 minutes and then it will turn off. To turn the icon off, before the 5 minutes, you can press the SPEED DOWN and START buttons simultaneously until the icon turns off.

Apply the silicone to the underside of the treadmill belt. Do not apply to the walking surface. This may be accomplished by standing up the treadmill and applying the silicone to the inside portion of the belt. Spray the silicone down and across the belt. Rotate the belt 1/2 of the circumference and repeat. About one ounce of Silicone should be used for each application.

Note: When lubricating the belt, make sure the treadmill is located on a surface that can be easily cleaned. After lubricating your treadmill running belt, clean any excess silicone off the belt and frame.

Cleaning and Maintenance

It is recommended to wipe the treadmill down after each use to keep the treadmill clean and dry. A mild detergent may be used at times to help remove all dirt and salt from the belt, painted parts and the display.

The Maintenance icon shows up in the display every 150 hours of use. This is a reminder to clean the unit really well. This cleaning would include removing the motor cover and cleaning around the motor and electronics. It is recommended to clean the motor compartment if the treadmill is in an area where there might be a lot of pet hair or plush carpet fibers that could get pulled up into the motor compartment. It is a good idea at this time to check and tighten all assembly hardware as well.

Warning: Unplug the Power Cord Before Removing the Motor Cover.

After cleaning and checking all assembly hardware, turn the maintenance icon off, by pressing SPEED DOWN and START buttons simultaneously until the icon turns off.

Belt Tensioning

If the belt begins to slip during use, it will need to be tensioned. Your treadmill is equipped with tension bolts that are accessible from the back of the treadmill. Before tensioning the belt, start the treadmill and set the speed to 3 mph (5kph). Using a 6 mm Allen Wrench, included in your hardware bag, turn the right and left tension bolts 1/2 turn clockwise.

After you adjust each side 1/2 turn, test to see if the slipping is eliminated. If the belt slips repeat this step and test again.

If you turn one side more than the other, the belt will start to drift to the side of the treadmill and will need to be aligned. DO NOT tighten more than 2 full turns on each side. If slippage still occurs, contact LifeSpan Customer Service.

Note: Over tensioning the belt can cause unnecessary friction and wear and tear on the belt, motor and electronics.

Aligning the Running Belt

Ensure the running belt is centered on your treadmill at all times. Running style and a non-level surface are two instances that may cause the belt to drift off center. Minor adjustments to the two bolts at the rear of the treadmill are necessary when the belt has drifted off center.

  1. Press "START", then increase the treadmill speed to 3 mph (5 kph).
  2. Stand at the rear of the treadmill to determine which direction the belt is drifting.
  3. If the belt drifts to the left, turn the left adjustment bolt one-quarter turn clockwise and the right adjustment bolt one-quarter turn counter-clockwise. (See FIG.C)
  4. If the belt drifts to the right, turn the left adjustment bolt one-quarter turn counter-clock wise and the right adjustment bolt one-quarter turn clockwise. (See FIG.D)

  5. Observe the tracking of the belt for about two minutes. Repeat steps 3, 4 and 5 as needed.

The treadmill comes with a folding feature that reduces the amount of storage space required when your treadmill is not in use and makes the treadmill easier to move.

Folding the Treadmill

  1. Make sure that the On/Off switch is turned Off and the power cord is removed from the wall.
  2. Make sure that nothing is on or near your treadmill which might spill, be knocked over or prevent the treadmill from completely folding.
  3. (a.) Place both hands under the support bar that is located directly under the back of the running belt on your treadmill to make sure that you have a solid lifting point.
    (b.) Lift the treadmill all of the way forward and make sure that the hydraulic shock is properly locked in place.

Caution: When lifting, use proper safety precautions and lifting techniques. Bend your knees and elbows, keep your back straight and pull up with both arms.

(c.) Ensure that the locking mechanism is secure by gently pulling back on the treadmill and make sure that it doesn't move. When doing this, be careful to be securely positioned in case the treadmill lock has not engaged.

Upper tube and lower tube are not in concentric position for safety lock. Fold direction

Caution:

  • Do not fold the treadmill by lifting on the running belt or rear roller. These parts do not lock in place and are difficult to grip when folding - personal injury or damage to the treadmill could result.
  • Do not lean against the treadmill once it is folded or place items on it that could cause it to become unstable or fall over. This could result in serious personal injury.
  • Do not connect the power cord when the treadmill is folded or try to operate the treadmill in the folded position.

Unfolding the Treadmill

  1. Make sure you have adequate space to lay the treadmill down. There needs to be at least 2 feet of clearance on both sides and in the front of the treadmill. There should be at least 4 feet of clearance on the back side of the treadmill for safety reasons. If the user were to fall this would give adequate clearance to get off the treadmill.
  2. Inspect to ensure that nothing is on or near your treadmill that might spill, be knocked over or prevent the treadmill from completely unfolding.
  3. Position yourself behind the treadmill. Slightly push the treadmill forward towards the display and with your left foot lightly push the top portion of the hydraulic shock forward till the locking tube frees and the treadmill can be pulled back away from the console.
  4. The hydraulic shock is set up to drop softly without assistance. It is not a bad idea to hold onto the treadmill until it is about 2/3 of the way down. Make sure that you use proper lifting technique, bending your knees and keeping your back straight.

Push upper tube (arrow A) to make upper tube and lower tube in concentric position for release. Release direction A
