Lubricating The Walking Belt - Nautilus T626 Assembly Manual

5. Push PAUSE/STOP twice to stop the walking belt and end the Quick Start workout.

Lubricating the Walking Belt

Your treadmill is equipped with a low maintenance deck and belt system. Belt friction can affect the function and life of the
machine. Lubricate the belt every 3 months or every 25 hours of use, whichever comes first. Even if the treadmill is not in use,
silicone will dissipate and the belt will dry out. For the best results lubricate the deck periodically with the silicone lubricant
supplied with the machine, using the following instructions:
1. Turn off the power to the machine with the power switch.
2. Unplug the treadmill fully from the wall outlet, and remove the power cord from the machine.
To reduce the risk of electrical shock, always unplug the power cord and wait 5 minutes before cleaning,
maintaining or repairing this machine. Place the power cord in a secure location.
Note: Make sure the treadmill is located on a surface that is easy to clean.
3. Fold the treadmill. Refer to the "Moving the Machine" procedure in this manual. Be sure that the hydraulic lift is correctly
locked in place
Use proper safety precautions and lifting techniques. Use a second person if necessary.
Do not use the walking belt or rear roller to lift the treadmill. These parts do not lock in place and can abruptly move.
Injury to you or damage to the machine can occur.
4. Make sure that the locking mechanism is engaged. Carefully pull back on the walking deck and make sure that it does
not move. When you do this, keep clear of movement path in case the treadmill lock is not engaged.
Do not lean against the treadmill when it is folded. Do not put items on it that could cause it to become unstable or fall.
Do not connect the power cord or try to operate the treadmill in the folded position.
5. Apply a few drops of the lubricant to the inner surface of the belt for the entire width of the belt. A very thin layer of sili-
cone lubricant on the entire deck below the belt is desired.
NOTICE: Always use a silicone-based lubricant such as the lubricant supplied with the machine. Do not use a degreaser like
WD-40 as this could seriously impact performance. We can recommend that you use the following:
®
• 8300 Silicone Spray, available at most Hardware and Auto Parts stores.
• Lube-N-Walk Treadmill Lubrication Kit, available from your local distributor or your local specialty fitness dealer.
®
6. Manually rotate the belt 1/2 of the length of the belt and apply lubricant again.
7. Unfold the machine. Refer to the "Unfolding the Machine" procedure in this manual.
