GENERAL MAINTENANCE

BELT & DECK
Your treadmill uses a very high-efficient low-friction deck. Performance is maximized when the deck
is kept as clean as possible. Use a soft, damp cloth, or paper towel, wipe the edge of the belt and
the area between the belt edge and the frame. Also reach as far as practical directly under the belt
edge. This should be done once a month to extend belt and bed life. A mild soap and water solution
along with a nylon scrub brush will clean the top of the textured belt. Allow to dry before using.
BELT DUST
This occurs during normal break-in or until the belt stabilizes. Wiping excess off with a damp cloth
will minimize buildup.
GENERAL CLEANING
Dirt, dust, and pet hair can block air inlets and accumulate on the running belt. On a monthly basis,
vacuum underneath your treadmill to prevent buildup. Once a year, you should remove the black
motor hood and vacuum out dirt that may accumulate. UNPLUG POWER CORD BEFORE THIS
TASK.
BELT ADJUSTMENTS
Tread-belt Tension Adjustment - Belt tension is not critical for most users. It is very important for
joggers and runners in order to provide a smooth, steady running surface. Adjustment must be
made from the right side of the rear roller in order to adjust tension with the 6 mm Allen wrench
provided in the parts package. The adjustment bolt is located at the end of the right side rail as
noted in diagram below.
Tracking/Tension
Adjustment
Tighten the rear roller only enough to prevent slippage at the front roller. Turn the tread-belt
tension adjusting bolt in increments of 1/4 turn and inspect for proper tension.
When an adjustment is made to the belt tension, you must also make a tracking
adjustment to compensate for the change in belt tension. This is accomplished by turning
both the tension and tracking Allen bolts an equal amount. This adjustment should be made by
turning both bolts clockwise by no more than a 1/4 turn at a time.
DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN – Over tightening will cause belt damage and premature bearing failure.
