Re-Tensioning The Running Mat; Lubricating The Running Mat - CARDIOSTRONG CST-TR20-3 Assembly And Operating Instructions Manual

5.4.2

Re-tensioning the Running Mat

If the running mat slips over the rollers during operation (if this is the case, there is a noticeable jerk
during running), the running mat must be re tightened.
In most cases, the slipping is caused by stretching of the mat through use. This is perfectly normal.
NOTICE
L
Re-tensioning is carried out using the same adjusting screws that are used for adjustment.
1. Let the treadmill run at a speed of 5km/h.
2. Turn the left and right adjusting screws directly one after the other, max. one ¼ turn clockwise.
3. Then check whether the running mat continues to slip. If this is the case, you must perform the
described procedure again.
5.4.3

Lubricating the Running Mat

If the running mat is not sufficiently lubricated, friction increases significantly and this leads to heavy
wear of the endless belt, running plate, motor and circuit board. If you feel an increased friction of
the running mat, this is an indication that you should lubricate the mat. However, lubrication should
be carried out at least every 3 months or every 50 operating hours. Whichever case comes first.
NOTICE
L
If your treadmill is equipped with a folding mechanism, you can also lubricate it when it is folded.
1. Raise the running mat slightly.
2. Apply some lubricating oil or silicone spray to the entire deck and distribute evenly.
3. Continue turning the belt by hand so that the entire surface between the endless belt and the
running plate is lubricated.
4. Wipe off the excess lubricating oil or silicone spray.
NOTICE
L
This maintenance must also be carried
out after prolonged non-use of the
equipment.
