Belt Adjustment - Exerpeutic Workfit 1030 Owner's Manual

MAINTENANCE & TROUBLESHOOTING

Belt Adjustment:

The belt tension is properly set before shipping. The belt may come loose during transportation
and/or from use. After prolonged use of the treadmill, the belt will stretch out. If the belt begins
shifting away from the center, turn on the main power switch of the treadmill and let the belt run at a
speed of 1-1.5 MPH. If the belt is shifting to the left, use the 6mm Allen Wrench to turn the left rear
roller adjustment bolt 1/4 turn in a clockwise direction. You should see the belt start to correct its
position by moving back towards the center. Repeat the above procedure until the belt is properly
centered. If the belt begins shifting to the right, turn the right rear roller adjustment bolt 1/4 turn in a
clockwise direction. You should see the belt start to correct itself by moving back towards the center.
Repeat the above procedure until the belt is properly centered. If the belt is slipping during use, turn
off and unplug the treadmill. Using the 6mm Allen wrench provided turn both the left and right rear
roller adjustment bolts 1/4 turn in a clockwise direction, then turn on the main power switch of
treadmill and let the belt run at the speed of 1-1.5 MPH. You should now walk on to the belt to
determine if the belt is still slipping. Repeat the above procedure until the belt no longer slips.
Lubrication:
The treadmill has already been coated with a "Silicone Oil", a non-volatile oil, which lubricates the
running deck. There should be oil already applied in the treadmill when purchased. There will be no
need to re-apply the oil under normal circumstances. To maintain the belt, the oil may be re-applied
once the resistance has been increased and the belt starts rubbing against the running deck. To
re-apply oil onto the treadmill, lift up the belt from the sides, one side at a time. Reach in as close as
you can to the center of the running deck from the sides and apply drips of the oil. Repeat this for
the other side. Allow the silicone oil to 'set' for one minute before using the treadmill.
Attention: Only use "Silicone Oil" lubricants for this equipment. In addition, do not use any other
type of oil; otherwise the treadmill will be damaged. Do not over-lubricate the running deck.
Excess lubricant should be wiped off with a clean towel
