DANGER: Lethal voltages and moving parts capable of causing serious injury are exposed when the
drive housing cover is removed. Under no circumstances should the motor cover be removed
TRACKING
The treadbelt is tracked by means of the two 9/16" hex head bolts at the back end of the treadmill. Tightening (clockwise)
the adjustment bolt on the side of the machine that the belt has moved towards, and loosening the bolt on the opposite side
an equal amount, will cause the belt to move towards the center. Adjustments should be made with the treadmill running,
and should be made in 1/4-turn increments. Allow at least 30 seconds for the belt to stabilize between each adjustment. Run
the belt at high speed (6-8 mph). To insure proper belt tracking and alignment, the treadmill must be placed on a stable and
level surface.
TENSIONING
The same hex head bolts used for tracking tension the treadbelt. To tighten the treadbelt, turn both screws clockwise exactly
the same amount. Failure to turn them equally will affect belt tracking. Need for tension is indicated by uneven belt speed,
and may be sensed by sudden stopping of the treadbelt when your foot comes down on the belt. Before tightening the tread-
belt, assure that the treadbelt is loose, and not the motor drive belt. DO NOT OVER-TIGHTEN. If you can't reach the palm
of your hand under the center of the treadbelt, the treadbelt is too tight.
The drive belt is tensioned by the nut located under the motor pan, and is screwed to a hook, which is attached to the motor
bracket. By turning the nut clockwise you will tighten the nut pulling down the motor bracket and tightening the drive belt.
DO NOT OVER-TIGHTEN. If you over-tighten this belt you will snap the motor shaft. To measure the tension, twist the
drive belt between the motor and the drive roller. The ideal tension will allow you to twist the drive belt 45º. If you cannot
twist the belt at least 45º, the belt is too tight.
WARNING: Moving parts can cause serious damage. Be sure to unplug
TREADMILL LUBRICATION & CLEANING
It is recommended that you vacuum around and underneath the treadmill on a monthly basis. Your treadmill will last longer
and look better if you wipe the sweat off the unit after each workout.
Lubrication is not required on residential treadmills. In institutional settings Landice requires lubricating the underside of
the treadbelt with Landice SlipCoat on a monthly basis.
MOTOR BRUSHES
Motor brushes should be checked every six months on institutional treadmills and after six years on home units.
SERVICE CHECK-LIST
