performance.
If the treadmill belt/deck/roller is kept reasonably clean, it is possible to expect over 1200 hours before additional
re-lubing is necessary.
How to check the running mat for proper lubrication
1) Disconnect the main power supply.
2) Fold the treadmill up into the storage position.
3) Feel the back surface of the running mat.
If the surface is slick when touched, then no further lubrication is needed.
If the surface is dry to the touch, apply a suitable silicone lubricant.
We recommend you use a silicone based spray to lubricate your Lifespan Treadmill. This can be purchased from your
local sports Retailer or a local hardware store.
Belt Adjustment
Belt Tension Adjustment-It is very important for joggers and runners in order to provide a smooth, steady running
surface. Adjustment must be made from the right and left rear roller in order to adjust tension with the Allen Key
provided in the parts package. The adjustment bolt is located at the end of the rails as noted in diagram below:
Left bolt
Note: Adjustment is thru small hold of end cap
Tighten the rear roller only enough to prevent slippage at the front roller. Turn both the right and left bolt clockwise
one full 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.
DO NOT OVER TIGHTEN - Over tightening will cause belt damage and premature bearing failure. This may also cause
reduced motor performance and excessive roller wear.
PLEASE NOTE: When properly tightened, the sides of belt can be raised approximate 2-3 inches off the board.
Belt Tracking Adjustment
This treadmill is designed to keep the belt reasonably centred while in use. It is normal for some belts to drift near
one side while the belt is running with no one on it. After a few minutes of use, the belt should have a tendency to
centre itself. If during use, the belt continues to move toward one side, adjustments are necessary. The procedures
are as below:
▲ First set speed at approximately 3.5km/h.
▲ Second check the belt shifts to which side.
If the belt shifts to right, tighten the right bolt and loosen the left bolt by using 6mm Allen Key, until the belt is
centered itself; If belt shifts to left, tighten the left bolt and loosen the right bolt by using 6mm Allen Key, until the
