Deck Lubrication - Spirit XT385 Owner's Manual

DECK LUBRICATION

To ensure the longevity and proper function of your
treadmill, proper belt maintenance is required. You should
regularly check between the treadmill belt and the top of the
treadmill base for proper lubrication, and to ensure that no
dirt or debris has become trapped. Keeping the deck clean
and lubricated at the recommended intervals ensures the
longest life possible for your unit. Should lubrication dry out,
or dirt become trapped, the friction between the belt and
deck increases. Increased friction places undue stress on the
drive motor, drive belt, and electronic motor control board
which could result in catastrophic failure of these essential,
expensive components.
Failure to clean and lubricate the deck at regular intervals
may void the warranty.
As a part of your routine maintenance schedule, belt
lubrication and cleaning should be performed every 90 days,
after 90 hours of use, or earlier if you notice that the deck
is dry or dirty. Please also be sure to check belt lubrication
before first use.
Do not lubricate with anything other than Spirit Fitness
approved lubricant. Your treadmill comes with one tube of
treadmill belt lubricant.
Extra tubes can be ordered directly from: www.Spiritfitness.
com, or by calling our customer service department at
(800)258-8511.

Regularly check belt lubrication by completing the following steps:
1. Ensure that your machine is off, and that the power cord is
unplugged to minimize risk of injury.
2. Reach between the running belt and the top of the treadmill
base to verify that lubrication is present.
To lubricate your treadmill belt:
1. Ensure that your machine is off, and unplugged to minimize risk
of injury.
2. Reach between the belt and the top of the treadmill base to
verify that lubrication is present.
3. While kneeling beside your treadmill deck, use one hand to
hold the treadmill belt up and away from the treadmill base just
enough so you can use your other hand to reach the lubrication
underneath.
4. Starting about 1 foot from the motor cover, begin applying ½ of
your lubricant bottle in a long "S" pattern about 4-6" from one
edge.
5. Repeat steps 3 and 4 on the opposite side using the remaining
½ of the lubricant bottle.
6. Plug the unit power cord back in, and turn the power switch
back on.
7. Walk on the belt at a moderate speed for 5 minutes to evenly
distribute the lubricant along the treadmill belt and deck.
8. Your treadmill belt is now lubricated. Normal use can resume.
