Tensioning the running belt again
+ If the running belt slips over the rollers during operation (if this is the case, a noticeable jerking
will be noticed while running), the running belt must be tensioned again. In most cases, the cau-
se for the slipping is a straining of the belt through usage. This is completely normal.
+ It can be tightened through the same setting screws that were used during adjustment.
+ While tightening the belt, let the equipment run at a speed of 5km/h.
+ Turn the left and right setting screws directly after each other a max. 1/4 clockwise rotation.
+ Then check if the running belt is still slipping. If this is the case, you must repeat the described
process.
Lubrication of the running belt
+ If the running belt is inadequately lubricated, the friction will increase significantly and this leads
to strong wear of the endless belt, running panel, motor and circuit board.
+ If you feel an increase in friction from the running belt, this is an indicator that you should lubri-
cate the belt (however, a lubrication should be done at least every 3 months).
+ In order to be able to optimally lubricate the treadmill, the running belt must be lifted slightly.
Then apply some silicone spray (free of grease) on the entire running deck. It is easiest to lubrica-
te when the treadmill is folded up. Apply three short (approximately 1 second) sprays of silicone
lubricant between the belt and the running deck.
+ The spraying tube should be held sideways in order to guarantee a moistening of the entire
underside of the belt. Continue to rotate the belt by hand so that the entire area between the
endless belt and running deck is lubricated. Wipe off the excess lubricant.
+ This maintenance must also be done after the equipment has not been used for a longer period
of time.
