to center the tread belt. Adjustments will become less of a maintenance concern as the belt is used.
Proper belt tracking is an owner responsibility common with all treadmills.
ATTENTION: DAMAGE TO THE RUNNING BELT RESULTING FROM IMPROPER TRACKING / TENSION
ADJUSTMENTS IS NOT COVERED UNDER THE WARRANTY.
BELT / DECK LUBRICATION:
Do not lubricate with anything other than Dyaco approved lubricant. Your treadmill comes with one
tube of lubricant, and extra tubes can be ordered directly from Dyaco. There are commercially
available lube kits, but the only one currently approved by Dyaco is
Lube-N-Walk. These kits come with an application wand that makes applying lubrication easier.
Keeping the deck lubricated at the recommended intervals ensures the longest life possible for
your treadmill. If the lubricant dries out, the friction between the belt and deck rises and places
undue stress on the drive motor, drive belt, and electronic motor control board, which could result
in catastrophic failure of these expensive components. Failure to lubricate the deck at regular
intervals may void the warranty.
The deck comes pre-lubricated, and subsequent lubrication should be performed every
90 hours of use. To lubricate the deck with the tube of lubricant supplied it will be necessary to
loosen the walking belt. Using the 6 mm Allen wrench supplied, loosen the two rear roller
adjustment bolts -- located in the rear end caps – enough to get your hand under the belt (5 –10
turns). Make sure to loosen both bolts the same number of turns and also remember how many
turns, because when finished, you will need to tighten the bolts back to the point they were before.
Once the belt is loose, wipe the deck with a clean lint-free cloth to remove any dirt. Apply the whole
tube of lubricant onto the deck surface about 18 inches from the motor cover.
Squeeze out the contents of the tube across the deck (parallel to the motor cover) in about a one-
foot-long line, like toothpaste on a toothbrush. The one-foot line should be in the middle of the deck
at approximately equal distance from both side edges of the belt.
You want the lubricant to be applied about the spot that your feet would hit the belt as you are
walking. This should be about 18 inches from the motor cover, but you may want to walk on the
treadmill before loosening the belt to note where your feet land on the belt. If you mostly run on the
treadmill, the spot where your feet land may be different from walking. Once the lubricant is
applied, tighten the rear roller bolts the same amount of turns as when you loosened them. Run the
treadmill at about 6 mph without walking on it for about a minute or two to make sure the belt stays
in the middle of the deck. If the belt tracks to one side, then follow the belt tracking instructions to
remedy. Now the deck is lubricated, and you should walk, not run, on the treadmill immediately for
at least 5 minutes to ensure the lubricant is evenly distributed. If you purchase a Lube-N-Walk kit,
follow the instructions that come with it to apply the lubrication.
