  • Page 36: Common Questions

    We use sealed bearings throughout our treadmills so lubrication is not needed. The most important maintenance step is to simply wipe your perspiration off the treadmill after each use. HOW DO I CLEAN MY HORIZON FITNESS TREADMILL? Clean with soap and water cleaners only. Never use solvents on plastic parts.

  • Page 37: Tensioning The Belt

    TENSIONING THE BELT If you can feel a slipping sensation when running on the treadmill, the running belt must be tightened. In most cases, the belt has stretched from use, causing the belt to slip. This is a normal and common adjustment. To eliminate this slipping, tension both the rear roller bolts with the appropriate size allen wrench, turning it 1/4 TURN to the right as shown.

  • Page 38: Maintenance Procedures

    Never use solvents, as they can cause damage to the treadmill. • Inspect the power cord. If the power cord is damaged, contact Horizon Fitness. • Make sure the power cord is not underneath the treadmill or in any other area where it can become pinched or cut.

  • Page 41 A C H I E V I N G Y O U R F I T N E S S G O A L S An important step in developing a long term fitness program is to determine your goals.
