Walking Belt And Deck Lubrication - Bowflex TreadClimber TC6000 Assembly Manual & Owner's Manual

Walking belt and deck lubrication

The TreadClimber® fitness machine is equipped with a pre-lubricated, low maintenance deck and belt system.
Belt friction may affect the function and life of the TreadClimber® fitness machine. For the best results from your
TreadClimber® fitness machine, always remember to lubricate the treadles periodically with a silicone lubricant,
the following instructions:
1. Turn off and unplug the TreadClimber® fitness machine from the wall outlet, and remove the power cord from the
incoming power plug on the front of the machine.
2. Gently lift each side of the
TreadClimber® fitness
machine's belt and apply a
small amount of the silicone
lubricant directly onto the
treadle beneath each belt while
the treadle surfaces are warm
(not hot).
3. Plug the TreadClimber® fitness machine back into the machine base and then into wall outlet.
4. Stand to one side of your TreadClimber® fitness machine on the rubber mat.
5. Turn on your TreadClimber®
fitness machine, and start the
belts at the slowest speed. Let
the belts run for approximately
15 seconds.
6. Turn off your TreadClimber®
fitness machine.
7. Take care to wipe up any excess silicone lubricant from the treadle deck surface area and your rubber floor mat.
NOTE: To reduce the possibility of slipping, be sure the treadle deck surface area is free from excess lubricant. Wipe off any
excess lubricant from the machine surfaces.
We also recommend a periodic inspection of the treadle surfaces under the belts. If the decks appear worn, contact a
TreadClimber® Representative listed in the Important Contact Numbers section of this manual.
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 only use Silicone Spray, available at most Hardware and Auto Parts stores.
