23. Using a 6mm hex wrench, re-install the 6 screws to the Deck.
24. Re-install all remaining parts that were removed in reverse order.
Note: Be sure to tighten the Adjustment Bolts to the recorded number of turns.
25. Inspect the surface material below the Treadmill. If the surface material is difficult
to clean or could be damaged by silicone lubricant, place absorbent material (such as
cardboard or newspaper) below the length of the Walking Deck.
26. Apply a few drops of the lubricant on the deck below the belt. Carefully lift the belt
and apply a few drops of the lubricant the entire width of the belt. A very thin layer of
silicone lubricant on the entire deck below the belt is desired.
NOTICE: Always use a 100% pure silicone lubricant. Do not use a degreaser like
WD-40 as this could seriously impact performance. We can recommend
®
that you use the following:
• 100% pure silicone, available at most hardware and auto parts stores.
• Lube-N-Walk Treadmill Lubrication Kit, available from your local specialty
®
fitness dealer or Nautilus, Inc.
Silicone lubricant is not intended for human consumption. Keep out of reach of children. Store in a safe place.
27. Manually rotate the belt 1/2 of the length of the belt and apply lubricant again.
If you used spray lubricant, wait 5 minutes before turning on power to the machine to allow the aerosol to dissipate.
28. Attach the power cord and turn on the Treadmill by flipping the power switch to ON.
29. Start the belt at the slowest speed and stand well behind the machine. Let the belt operate for approximately 15 seconds. Notice if the Walking
Belt needs to be adjusted so it runs centered on the machine.
Be sure not to touch the walking belt or step on the power cord. Keep bystanders, children and pets away from the machine you are
servicing at all times.
30. If the Walking Belt needs to be adjusted, use a 6mm hex wrench on the
side the belt should move away from and rotate the Adjustment Bolt a 1/4 turn
clock-wise.
31. Allow the Walking Belt to adjust to the new tension by allowing it to run a
couple seconds.
32. Repeat steps 30 and 31 until the Walking Belt is centered.
