Care of your TreadClimber

Walking Belt and Deck Lubrication

The TreadClimber machine is equipped with a
®
pre-lubricated, low maintenance deck and belt
system. Belt friction may affect the function and life
of the TreadClimber machine. For the best results
®
from your TreadClimber
treadles periodically with a silicone lubricant, using
the following instructions:
1. Unplug the TreadClimber
from the wall outlet, and remove the power cord
from the incoming power plug.
Always unplug the power cord from
the wall outlet before removing or
installing parts to avoid the risk of
electrocution, shock or mechanical
injury.
2. While the TreadClimber
surfaces are still warm (not hot), apply a very
thin layer of silicone lubricant directly onto the
treadle beneath each belt—gently lift each
side of the belt and apply a few drops of the
lubricant.
always use a silicone-based lubricant.
never use a degreaser like Wd-40
the bowflex TreadClimber
®
machine, as this could seriously
impact performance.
3. Plug the TreadClimber
machine base and then into wall outlet.
4. Stand to one side of your TreadClimber
machine on the rubber mat.
5. Turn on your TreadClimber
the belts at the slowest speed. Let the belts run
for approximately 15 seconds.
6. Turn off your TreadClimber
7. Take care to wipe up any excess lubricant from
the treadles and your rubber floor mat. We also

treadle surfaces under the belts. If the
decks appear worn, contact a TreadClimber
Representative at 1-800-NAUTILUS (1-800-628-
8458).
NOTE: To reduce the possibility of slipping, be
sure the treadle area is free from grease
or oil. Wipe off any excess oil from the
machine surfaces.
Use the following timetable as a guide to lubricate
the decks:
• Light user (fewer than 3 hours/week):
annually
• Medium user (3-5 hours/week):
every 6 months
• Heavy user (more than 5 hours/week):
every three months
We recommend that you use the following:
• Lube-N-Walk Treadmill Lubrication Kit,
®
available from JAD Fitness, Inc. (800-877-
3486 or www.jadfitness.com) or your local
specialty fitness dealer.
• 8300 Silicone Spray, available at most
Hardware and Auto Parts stores.
Inspecting
1. Visually inspect the TreadClimber
every time you use it for wear, damage, or
loose parts.
2. Inspect the frame for any rust, bubbling, or
paint chips during the weekly cleaning. The
salt in perspiration can damage the unpainted
surfaces.
3. Inspect the belts for excessive wear during
lubrication. Adjust the belt tension if necessary.
