Lubricating The Treadmill Belt - Maxxus 7.3 Installation & Operating Manual

The most important maintenance measure for a treadmill is the regular and timely lubrication and care of the running belt.
Damage or defects that have occurred due to insufficient care or lubrication of the running belt are not covered by the war-
ranty or guarantee under any circumstances.
The running belt of your treadmill must always be lubricated if a significant increase in friction of the treadmill running belt
is detected. This can manifest as a jerking movement during exercise, or as an E1 error message in the cockpit display. In-
adequate lubrication or care causes a considerable increase in friction and leads inevitably to increased wear and damage
caused to running belt, running deck, motor and circuit board.
The frequency of use of the treadmill is largely responsible for how often you have to perform maintenance . Since this vari-
es from user to user, we recommend creating a service booklet. You should set a fixed day in the week in which you check
the lubrication of the running belt for the first 6 months of use. Lift the front third of the running belt and feel with your hand
as far as the middle of the running belt to check if lubrication is still present. If so, enter the date and „Ok" in your service
book. If the lubrication is too low or no longer present, lubricate the running belt and write it down accordingly. After a time,
you will be able to see the lubrication interval required.
Even if you do not want to run a service book, be sure to check running belt lubrication every week!
If the treadmill is not used or folded up for a longer period of time be sure to check the lubrication of the belt before using it,
and lubricate as necessary.
To lubricate the running belt properly take the MAXXUS care oil bottle, remove the regular screw cap (Diagram 1) and then
insert the screw cap with tube (Diagram 2). Before you start to lubricate make sure the treadmill is off and the running belt is
not moving. Lift the running belt (Diagram 3).
Diagram 1
The running belt should be lubricated from both sides. To do this, lift one side of the running belt high enough so that you
can reach the middle of the running belt with the tip of the tube of the silicone oil bottle. Then pull 3 wavy lines of silicone
oil from the middle of the running belt to the edge on each side of the running belt. No more than 10 to 15ml of silicone oil
should be applied in total. Applying too much silicone oil may cause the running belt to slip. In this case use a rag to remove
excess silicone oil from the running deck and drive rollers.

To lubricate the belt, use only the approved silicone MAXXUS® Care Oil (available at www.maxxus.de).
Do not use other silicone or lubricants!
We advise against the use of silicone sprays, because the viscosity of the oil is too low. After you have finished lubricating,
walk or run on the treadmill at a speed of 4 km / h for about 3 to 5 minutes. Change the position from right to left, and back
and forth repeatedly to optimally distribute the silicone oil treadmill on the running belt.
Do not fold up the tread for at least 3 days after lubrication.
