Maintenance and Tips
Belt Lubrication
Use only 100% silicone and avoid using aerosol silicone sprays which include
additives and petroleum distillates. One ounce of silicone should be used for
each application. LifeSpan offers 100% silicone lubricant that can be ordered
at www.LifeSpanFitness.com.
The running belt comes pre-lubricated from the factory and should be
lubricated every 3 months (regardless of use) or 50 hours of use, whichever
comes first. Even if the treadmill is not being used, the silicone will dissipate
over time and the belt will dry out.
Apply the silicone to the underside of the treadmill belt. Do not apply to the
walking surface. This may be accomplished by simply lifting the belt up over
the side rails and spraying the lubricant under the running belt onto the deck
surface. The silicone will absorb into the underside of the belt as you start
walking.
NOTE: When lubricating the belt, make sure the treadmill is on a surface
that can be easily cleaned. After lubricating your treadmill running belt,
clean any excess silicone off the walking surface of
the belt and side rails.
