performance of your treadmill (refer to section 4.4 for information). Only use lubricant provided by Lifespan Fitness!
Please contact Lifespan Fitness with questions about applying lubricant to your treadmill.
• Turn off the treadmill with the on/off switch, then unplug the power cord at the wall outlet.
• Loosen both the rear roller bolts. (For best results, place two removable marks on both sides of the frame and note
roller position).Once the belt is loosened, take the bottle of lubricant and apply it to the entire top surface of the
running deck. Tighten both rear roller bolts (matching up the marks for proper position) to original position. After you
have applied lubricant, plug in the power cord, key, start the treadmill and walk on the belt for two minutes to spread
the lubricant.
• Lubricate the air shocks with Teflon based spray.
EVERY 2 YEARS

General Cleaning

Use a soft, damp cloth to wipe the edge of the belt and the area between the belt edge and frame. A mild soap
and water solution along with a nylon scrub brush will clean the top of the textured belt. This task should be
done once a month. Allow to dry before using.
 On a monthly basis, vacuum underneath your treadmill to prevent dust build up. Once a year, you should
remove the black motor shield and vacuum out dirt that may accumulate.
General Care

Check parts for wear before use.

Pay particular attention to the fixing knobs and make sure they are tight.

Always replace the mat if worn and any other defective parts.

If in doubt, do not use the treadmill and contact our helpline.
TAKE CARE TO PROTECT CARPETS AND FLOOR in case of leakages. This product is a machine that contains moving parts
which have been greased / lubricated and could leak.
Belt/Deck/Roller Lubrication
The mat/deck friction may play a major role in the function and life of your treadmill and that is why we recommend
you constantly lubricate this friction point to prolong the useful life of your treadmill.
You should apply the enclosed lubrication after approximately the first 50 hours of operation. We recommend
lubrication of the deck according to the following timetable:
Light use (less than 3 hours per week) every 6 months

Medium use (3-5 hours a week) every 3 months

Heavy use (more than 5 hours per week) every 6-8 weeks.

See below procedures for lubricating:
Use a soft, dry cloth to wipe the area between the belt and deck.
1)
Spread lubricant onto the inside surface of belt and deck evenly (make sure
2)
the machine is turned off and power is disconnected).
Periodically lubricate the front and rear rollers to keep them at their peak
3)
