Maintenance

DANGER:
Lethal voltages and moving parts capable of causing serious injury are
exposed when the motor pan cover is removed. Under no circumstances should the motor pan cover
be removed except by a Landice factory-authorized technician.
TRACKING
(pre-set from factory, but may need adjustment during installation)
To insure proper belt tracking and alignment, the treadmill must be placed on a stable and level surface. If surface isn't level
this can be adjusted by making an alteration to one or all of the leveling feet.
The treadbelt is tracked by means of the two 9/16" hex head bolts at the back end of the treadmill. Tightening (clockwise)
the adjustment bolt on the side of the machine that the belt has moved towards and loosening the bolt on the opposite side
an equal amount will cause the belt to move towards the center. Adjustments should be made with the treadmill running,
and should be made in 1/4-turn increments. Allow at least 30 seconds for the belt to stabilize between each adjustment.
(L8 and L9 only). A yellow warning label will show at the rear of the treadmill, on the deck, when the treadbelt is not tracked
correctly.
TREADBELT TENSIONING
(pre-set from factory, but may need adjustment during installation)
Need for treadbelt tensioning is indicated by uneven belt speed and may be sensed by sudden stopping of the treadbelt
when your foot comes down onto the belt. To check belt tension, run treadmill at 1 mph, then walk on machine. If treadbelt
does not feel like it is slipping/hesitating, then it is tensioned correctly. If treadbelt slips/hesitates then it is not fully tensioned.
The same hex head bolts used for tracking also tension the treadbelt. To tighten the treadbelt, turn both bolts clockwise
exactly the same amount, a 1/4-turn at a time. Failure to turn them equally will affect belt tracking. DO NOT OVER-
TIGHTEN. Continue checking for treadbelt slipping. Once treadbelt is fully tensioned, increase speed to 5 mph. Then, while
jogging lightly, check for any sudden slipping/hesitating of the treadbelt. Repeat treadbelt tensioning instructions if required.
MOTOR DRIVE BELT TENSIONING
(pre-set from factory)
The drive belt is tensioned by a nut located under the motor pan. This nut is screwed to a hook, which is attached to the
motor bracket. By turning the nut clockwise, you will tighten the nut, pulling down the motor bracket, which will tighten the
drive belt. DO NOT OVER-TIGHTEN. If you over-tighten this belt you will snap the motor shaft. To measure the tension,
twist the drive belt between the motor and the drive roller. The ideal tension will allow you to twist the drive belt 45˚. If you
can twist the belt past 45˚, it is too loose. If you cannot twist the belt to at least 45˚, it is too tight.
WARNING:
Moving parts can cause serious damage.
Be sure to unplug treadmill before placing hands underneath the treadbelt!!!
TREADMILL LUBRICATION & CLEANING
It is recommended that you vacuum around and underneath the treadmill on a monthly basis. Your treadmill will last longer
and look better if you wipe the sweat off the unit after each workout.
Lubrication is not required on residential treadmills. In commercial settings, Landice recommends lubricating the underside of
the treadbelt with Landice SlipCoat on a monthly basis.
MOTOR BRUSHES
Motor brushes should be checked every six months on commercial treadmills and after six years on residential units.
