Page 4: Moving Your Machine
Moving Your Machine The TreadClimber fitness machine weighs approximately 158 lbs (71.8 kg) when fully assembled and ® requires caution when being moved. Use the Transport Hand Bar found under the front of the machine to move it. To get access to the Transport Hand Bar, turn the Levelers until you have sufficient clearance between the machine and floor. Your machine can be rolled on the transport wheels to a new location. Lower your machine slowly into its new location without injury to your head or fingers.
Page 5: Maintenance
We recommend that you use one of the following: • Lube-N-Walk Treadmill Lubrication Kit (available from www.bowflex.com or your local specialty fitness dealer) ® • 100% pure silicone, available at most hardware and auto parts stores. As you use your fitness machine, the Console will show “LUbE” at set times. This is only a reminder and should be added to your inspection schedule.
Page 6 NOTICE: Always use a 100% pure silicone lubricant. Do not use a degreaser like WD-40 or a petroleum based product as this could ® seriously impact performance. Note: The Walking Belts may need to be loosened to allow for access during lubrication. Consult the “Adjusting the Walking Belts” procedure if necessary. 3. Connect the power cord back into the machine and then into the wall outlet. 4.
Page 7: Walking Belt Alignment
Walking Belt Alignment The walking belts need to be adjusted if they are out of center enough to cause a rubbing or scraping sound. Adjustments can be made at the Front Roller of each Treadle. Adjusting the Walking Belts – While operating the machine, notice where the belts run on each Treadle. The Walking Belt Adjustment Bolts are on the front end of each Roller.
