SLIPCOAT APPLICATION INSTRUCTIONS

SlipCoat lubricant is designed to reduce friction between the treadbelt and deck.
It is required for all institutional treadmills. Proper and timely application of
SlipCoat will prevent premature failures due to excessive wear and load. Items
affected by inadequate lubrication are the treadbelt, deck, motor, and motor
controller.

When to lubricate:

Landice L-Series institutional treadmills should be inspected on a monthly ba-
sis. By sliding your hand underneath the treadbelt you can feel if the surface of
the deck is dry. If the deck surface feels dry then the treadmill should be lubri-
cated. Typically heavy-use facilities (where usage is more than 5 hours-per-
day) will require lubrication on a monthly basis. Light commercial settings may
not require lubrication for 2-3 months at a time (but should still be checked
every month). Lubrication is not required for home usage, but if desired,
should not be done more than once per year unless otherwise instructed by a
Landice factory representative. Only use SlipCoat by Landice. Most standard
greases, waxes, and silicon sprays will build up on the rollers and effect belt
slippage and tracking.

How to Lubricate:

Lift up the edge of the treadbelt and squeeze one full packet of SlipCoat under-
neath the center of the treadbelt.
Walk about 10 steps on the treadmill at
a speed of 1.0 mph. This will moisten
approximately an 8" track underneath
the center of the entire treadbelt.
Turn off the treadbelt and allow it to dry
for approximately 10 minutes.
NOTE: Do not use SlipCoat on any
other area of the Treadmill.
Note: Do not get Slipcote on TOP of
Treadbelt. This will make the treadbelt
very slippery and makes the treadmill
dangerous to use. We recommend
using rubbing alcohol applied to a
sponge to remove any SlipCoat on the
treadbelt.
Apply Landice
SlipCoat between
the belt and deck.
