Deck Lubrication
The walking belt has been pre-lubricated at the factory. However, it is recommended that the running board be
checked periodically for lubrication to ensure optimal treadmill performance. Usually your treadmill should not have
to be lubricated within the first year or 500 hours of use.
Every 30 days or 30 hours of operation lift the sides of the walking belt and feel the top surface of the walking
board as far as you can reach. If there are signs of silicone, no further lubrication is required. If it feels dry to the
touch, follow the instructions below. Please use non-petroleum based silicone.
To apply lubricant to the walking belt:
1. Position the walking belt so that the seam is located on top and in centre of the walking board.
2. Insert the spray nozzle into the spray head of the lubricant can.
3. While lifting the side of the walking belt, position the spray nozzle between the walking belt and the board
approximately 6 cm from the front of the treadmill. Apply the silicone spray to the walking board, moving
from the front of treadmill to the rear. Repeat this on the other side of the belt. Spray approximately 4
seconds on each side.
4. Allow the silicone to "set" for 1 minute before using the treadmill.
Belt adjustment
Belt adjustment and tension performs two functions: adjustment for tension and centering. The running belt has
been adjusted properly at the factory. However transportation, uneven flooring or other unpredicted reasons could
cause the belt to shift off center resulting in the belt rubbing with the plastic side rail or end caps and possibly
causing damage. To adjust the belt back to it's proper position please follow the directions below:
Walking belt has shifted to the left: First unplug the power cord from the surge protector. Using the hex
•
key provided, turn the left rear roller adjustment bolt 1/4 turn in the clockwise direction. Plug the power
cord back into the surge protector and run the treadmill at 4 km/h (2.5 mph). You should see the belt start
to correct itself, moving back towards the center. Repeat the above procedure until the walking belt is
centered. It may be necessary to set walking belt tension once you have completed this procedure if the
belt feels like it is slipping while walking. Refer below to the "Walking belt slipping" instructions.
Walking belt has shifted to the right: First unplug the power cord from the surge protector. Using the
•
hex key provided, turn the right rear roller adjustment bolt 1/4 turn in the clockwise direction. Plug the
power cord back into the surge protector and run the treadmill at 4 km/h (2.5 mph). You should see the
belt start to correct itself, moving back towards the center. Repeat the above procedure until the walking
belt is centered. It may be necessary to set walking belt tension once you have completed this procedure if
the belt feels like it is slipping while walking. Refer below to the "Walking belt slipping" instructions.
Walking belt is slipping: First unplug the power cord from the surge protector. Using the hex key
•
provided, turn both the left and right rear roller adjustment bolts the same distance, usually a 1/4 turn in the
clockwise direction. Plug the power cord back into the surge protector and run the treadmill at 4 km/h (2.5
mph). You should now walk on the belt to determine if the belt is still slipping. Repeat the above
procedure until the walking belt is not slipping. The tension should be just tight enough not to slip.
WARNING! Do not over tighten rollers! This will cause premature roller bearing failure!
Right and left tension bolts are located at the rear of the treadmill.
