General Maintenance - Spirit CT900 ENT Owner's Manual

GENERAL MAINTENANCE

Belt and Deck - Your treadmill uses a very high-efficient low-friction deck. Performance is
maximized when the deck is kept as clean as possible. Use a soft, damp cloth or paper towel to
wipe the edge of the belt and the area between the belt edge and frame. Also reach as far as
practical directly under the belt edge. This should be done once a month to extend belt and
deck life. Use water only - no cleaners or abrasives. A mild soap and water solution along with a
nylon scrub brush will clean the top of the textured belt. Allow the belt to dry before using.
Belt Dust - This occurs during normal break-in or until the belt stabilizes. Wiping excess off with
a damp cloth will minimize buildup.
General Cleaning - Dirt, dust, and pet hair can block air inlets and accumulate on the running
belt. On a monthly basis: vacuum underneath your treadmill to prevent buildup. Once a year,
you should remove the black motor hood and vacuum out dirt that may accumulate. UNPLUG
POWER CORD BEFORE THIS TASK.
The low maintenance (routine monthly cleaning), dual-sided hard wax deck is designed to
withstand up to 32,000 kilometers on each side. If the original side of the deck shows significant
wear, it needs to be flipped. Contact your service technician for assistance. Do not apply any
type of lubricant or wax to the surface.
BELT ADJUSTMENTS:
Tread-belt Tension Adjustment - Adjustment must be made from the rear roller. The
adjustment bolts are located at the end of the step rails in the end caps, as noted in diagram
below.

Adjustment Adjustment
Note: Adjustment is through small hole in the end cap.
Tighten the rear roller bolts only enough to prevent slippage at the front roller. Turn both
tread-belt tension adjustment bolts in increments of 1/4 turn each and inspect for proper tension
by walking on the belt at a low speed, making sure the belt does not slip. When an adjustment is
made to the belt tension, you must be sure to turn the bolts on both sides evenly or the belt
could start tracking to one side instead of running in the middle of the deck.
DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN – Over tightening will cause belt damage and premature bearing
failure. If you feel the belt is tight enough, but it still slips, the problem may be a loose Motor
drive belt under the front cover.
