Star Trac TREADMILL Service Manual page 7

Periodic running belt re-waxing virtually eliminates belt down time, and maximizes the life of
the belt. Whenever the present distance is 2000 miles (or 3000 km) more than the LAST
DECK (last deck service), the start-up display will scroll REWAX BELT. This is a reminder to
have your maintenance or service provider perform the 5-minute belt re-waxing procedure at
your convenience. (Immediate service is not required). Wax is included in the treadmill.
TOOLS & MATERIALS
Bottle of Wax Powder (1)
Clean Towel (1)
Paint Stick or Ruler (1)
Diluted All-purpose Cleaner (409), or Bristle Brush
PROCEDURE:
Apply wax powder while belt & deck are still warm (5 minutes minimum use) for
optimum benefit.
1. CAUTION: TURN TREADMILL POWER OFF AND UNPLUG THE POWER CORD
BEFORE REWAXING THE BELT.
2. CLEAN DECK & BELT:
A. Using the paint stick or ruler, slide a towel under the middle of the belt from one side
of the frame to the other.
B. Hold the edges of the towel; pull to the tailroller; pull to the headroller; then pull the
belt down to wipe the remaining belt.
TIP: Fold the dirty towel and shake into trash.
3. LIFT BELT: Lift the left side (facing display) of the belt, about 12 inches down from the
motor shroud. Hold the belt up to elevate the belt from the deck.
4. SPREAD WAX: Flip the nozzle on the cap of the wax bottle. Point the nozzle at the deck.
Be sure that the bottle is tilted at a downward angle. Squeeze the wax bottle twice between
the running belt and the deck. TIP: Gently shake the bottle between each squeeze.
5. Repeat steps 3 and 4, about 18 inches from the end of the deck.
6. Repeat steps 3 through 5, on the right side of the belt/deck.
7. WALK: Plug in the treadmill. Turn the treadmill ON/OFF switch to the ON position. Start
the treadmill at 1 mph and walk on all sections of the belt and deck for 1 minute to ensure
the wax has been evenly distributed and worked-in properly.
8. CLEANUP: Turn the treadmill power OFF . Remove any excess wax with diluted cleaner
(409) and towel. TIP: Blow away extra wax first (like dust), then wipe.

BELT message.
