Maintenance Read all maintenance instructions fully before you start any repair work. In some conditions, an assistant is required to do the necessary tasks. Equipment must be regularly examined for damage and repairs. The owner is responsible to make sure that regular maintenance is done.
Adjusting the Belt Tension If the walking belt starts to slip during use, it is necessary to adjust the tension. Your treadmill has tension bolts at the rear of the treadmill. Remove the Safety Key and place it in a secure location. When this machine is not in operation, remove the Safety Key and keep out of the reach of children.
Lubricating the Walking Belt Your treadmill is equipped with a low maintenance deck and belt system. The Walking Belt is pre-lubricated. Belt friction can affect the function and life of the machine. Lubricate the belt every 3 months or every 25 hours of use, whichever comes first. Even if the treadmill is not in use, silicone will dissipate and the belt will dry out.
