Cleaning and maintenance
⚠ WARNING
• Your trainer requires monthly maintenance, even when not being
used�
• Before cleaning and maintenance, remove the mains plug from
the wall socket�
• Do not use solvents to clean the equipment�
- Do not block the ventilation openings� Keep the ventilation
openings clear from dust, dirt and other obstructions�
- Clean the equipment with a soft, absorbent cloth after each use�
- Clean the visible parts of the equipment with a vacuum cleaner
with a small suction nozzle
- Regularly check that all screws and nuts are tight�
⚠ CAUTION
• We recommend to use indoor shoes only on your treadmill�
When you don't have these we do recommend to check the
soles of your footwear before using them on your treadmill�
The treadmill is not sustainable for dirt from outdoors�
General Cleaning
Dirt, dust, and pet hair can block air inlets and accumulate on the
running belt� On a monthly basis: vacuum underneath your treadmill
to prevent build-up�
UNPLUG POWER CORD BEFORE THIS TASK�
Belt Dust
This occurs during normal break-in or until the belt stabilizes� Wiping
off excess dust with a damp cloth will minimize build-up�
Belt and Running Deck
Your treadmill uses a very high-efficient low-friction bed�
Performance is maximized when the running deck is kept clean and
free from dust and dirt� Dirt and dust particles between running deck
and running belt will damage your running deck surface affecting
your performance and product lifetime�
How to clean running deck
Use a soft, dry, non-abrasive cloth to wipe the edge of the belt and
the area between the belt edge and frame� try to reach under the
running belt edges too, to remove the dirt build up on the edges too�
How to clean running belt surface
Firstly use a nylon scrub brush to remove the loose particles from the
running belt surface� Than use wrung out damp cloth (no cleaners or
abrasives) to gentle clean the top of the textured belt� Allow the belt
to fully dry before using�
‼ NOTE
• When your belt too dirty to clean with water only, you can use a
mild soap, but never a lubricant solvent�
• Prevent that the solution comes between running deck and
running belt at all times�
This should be done on a regular basis to extend belt and running
deck life�
Lubrication (fig. F-6)
‼ NOTE
• The Treadmill running belt is pre lubricated before fitting on your
treadmill during the production of the unit� Therefore it is not
needed to lubricate the running belt when taken into use for the
first time�
The running belt must be checked for lubrication condition regularly�
Therefore the treadmill comes with a 300 hours reminder function�
The "TIME WINDOW" will display "OIL" and will make an acoustic
beeping sound every 10 seconds to remind you� Follow the below
checking procedure and eliminate the "OIL" message and acoustic
warning signal by pressing and hold the "STOP" button for at least 3
seconds during this warning signal�
⚠ WARNING
• Before lubrication, remove the mains plug from the wall socket�
⚠ CAUTION
• We recommend to check the running belt lubrication at least
once every month, as more factors than time can be effective to
the lubricant conditions�
• Only lubricate the running belt if necessary� If you apply too
much lubricant, the running belt will slip easily due to lack of
friction�
- Stand steadily on the running belt�
- Take hold of the front handlebar and push the running belt with
your feet so that it slides back and forth� The running belt must
move smoothly and evenly without making sound�
- If the running belt does not move smoothly and evenly or if the
running belt does not move at all, touch the underside of the
running belt with your fingertips to check the lubrication:
• If you feel lubrication or your fingertips are shiny, there is
sufficient lubrication on the running belt�
• If you do not feel lubrication or your fingertips are dusty or
rough, apply lubricant (±10 ml�) in the middle of the running
deck under the running belt and let the equipment operate at
5km/h for at least 5 minutes�
• After lubrication, do not fold the equipment before having done
a workout for 2 minutes with a speed of at least 5 km/h�
This will cause the lubricant being fully absorbed by the running
belt and being spread evenly�
‼ NOTE
• When 5 km/h is too fast for you, do walk at your desired speed,
but extend the duration to at least 5 minutes�

Belt adjustments
The performance of your treadmill is dependent on the frame running
on a reasonably level surface� If the frame is not level, the front and
back roller cannot run parallel, and constant belt adjustment may be
necessary�
The treadmill is designed to keep the running belt reasonably centred
while in use� It is normal for some belts to drift near one side while
the belt is running with no one on it� After a few minutes of use,
the running belt should have a tendency to centre itself� If, during
use, the belt continues to move toward one side, adjustments are
necessary�
