operation. Use all the contents of one container (no more) and spread lubricant onto
middle portion (away from edges) of the deck (under treadbelt) along its width. When
walked on, the belt will make certain an even coat is applied. Lubricant is not harmful to
the skin. Lube will be distributed properly by walking at 2 to 3 mph for 3 to 5 minutes on
all areas of the belt. Use handrails for support. The first few minutes you will be
polishing your deck and lubricating the belt backing. Do not run on a newly lubricated
belt until the above break-in procedure is done. If the treadmill belt/deck is kept
reasonably clean it is possible to expect over 1000 hours before additional re-lubing is
necessary.
CAUTION - KEEP HANDS CLEAR OF MOVING REAR PULLEY!
