Quarterly Maintenance

Lubricate the treadbelt and slider deck. The Biodex Lubricant Kit is designed to reduce friction
between the treadbelt and the slider deck. It is required for all institutional treadmills. Proper
and timely application of the lubricant will prevent premature failures due to excessive wear
and load. Items affected by inadequate lubrication are the treadbelt, slider deck, motor, and
motor controller.

Annually or Every 1,000 Hours Reverse Exact-Track Bed

Reverse the Exact-Track bed. The Gait Trainer 3 bed is double-sided, allowing it to be reversed
and used over. Once both sides have been used, the bed must be replaced.

Replace Treadbelt

Inspect Treadbelt for cracks or tears. If none are found, continue to use. If any cracks or tears
are apparent, replace the treadbelt.

Maintenance Procedures Belt/Deck Lubrication

(Figure 10.4)
1. Using the large syringe provided, squirt one-half tube of the lubricant underneath the
center of the treadbelt.
2. Walk ten steps on the Gait Trainer 3 at a speed of 1.0 mph. This will moisten an 8-inch
track underneath the center of the entire treadbelt.
3. Allow the Gait Trainer 3 to dry for approximately ten minutes.
NOTE: Use only the Biodex lubricant kit with the Gait Trainer 3. Most standard greases, waxes
and silicon sprays will build up on the rollers causing belt slippage and affecting tracking.
To re-order lubricant kit, use Biodex part # 945-276. Each container provides 12 applications.
