To Set Treadbelt Tracking; Belt / Deck Lubrication - Xterra 1644980US Owner's Manual

TO SET TREADBELT TRACKING:

A 6 mm Allen wrench is provided to adjust the rear roller. Make tracking adjustments from the left
and the right side. Set belt speed at
approximately 2 to 3 mph. A small
adjustment can make a dramatic
difference. Turn the bolt only a 1/4
turn and wait a few minutes for the
belt to adjust itself. Continue to make
1/4 turns until the belt stabilizes in the
center of the running deck. The belt
may require periodic tracking
adjustment depending on use and
walking/running characteristics. Some
users will affect tracking differently.
Expect to make adjustments as required to center the treadbelt. Adjustments will become less of
a maintenance concern as the belt is used. Proper belt tracking is an owner responsibility
common with all treadmills.
ATTENTION: DAMAGE TO THE RUNNING BELT RESULTING FROM IMPROPER TRACKING /
TENSION ADJUSTMENTS IS NOT COVERED UNDER THE WARRANTY.

BELT / DECK LUBRICATION:

Do not lubricate with other than Xterra approved lubricant. Your treadmill comes with one
tube of lubricant and extra tubes can be ordered directly from Xterra. There are
commercially available lube kits, but the only one currently approved by Xterra is
Lube-N-Walk. These kits come with an application wand that makes applying the
lubrication easier. Keeping the deck lubricated at the recommended intervals ensures
the longest life possible for your treadmill. If the lubricant dries out, the friction between
the belt and deck rises and places undue stress on the drive motor, drive belt and
electronic motor control board, which could result in catastrophic failure of these
expensive components. Failure to lubricate the deck at regular intervals may void the
warranty.
The deck comes pre-lubricated and subsequent lubrication should be performed every
180 hours of use. To lubricate the deck with the tube of lubricant supplied it will be
necessary to loosen the walking belt. Using the 6 mm allen wrench supplied, loosen the
two rear roller adjustment bolts -- located in the rear end caps – enough to get your hand
under the belt (5 –10 turns). Make sure to loosen both bolts the same amount of turns
and also remember how many turns, because when finished you will need to tighten the
bolts back to the point they were before.
Once the belt is loose, wipe the deck with a clean lint free cloth to remove any dirt. Apply
the whole tube of lubricant onto the deck surface about 18 inches from the motor cover.
Squeeze out the contents of the tube across the deck (parallel to the motor cover) in
about a one-foot long line, like toothpaste on a toothbrush. The one-foot line should be in
the middle of the deck at approximately equal distance from both side edges of the belt.
You want the lubricant to be applied about the spot that your feet would hit the belt as you
are walking. This should be about 18 inches from the motor cover, but you may want to
walk on the treadmill before loosening the belt to note where your feet land on the belt. If
you mostly run on the treadmill, the spot where your feet land may be different from
walking. Once the lubricant is applied, tighten the rear roller bolts the same amount of turns as
when you loosened them. Run the treadmill at about 6 mph without walking on it for
about a minute or two to make sure the belt stays in the middle of the deck. If the belt
tracks to one side then follow the belt tracking instructions to remedy. Now the deck is
lubricated and you should walk, not run, on the treadmill immediately for at least 5
minutes to ensure the lubricant is evenly distributed. If you purchase a Lube-N-Walk kit,
follow the instructions that come with it to apply the lubrication.
