Treadmill 10: I need help lubricating my treadmill
Follow this troubleshooting guide to help lubricate the walking belt on the BowFlex Treadmill 10.
Some common complaints may include:
Walking belt does not move easily
Walking belt seems stiff
Walking belt seems slippery
Follow these steps to troubleshoot the issue
Tools you may need:
6mm hex/Allen wrench, or the wrench from the hardware
card included with your machine
Phillips head screwdriver
Silicone lubricant
1. Make sure you are only using silicone-based lubricants. Petroleum-based products will damage your machine! If
you have been using petroleum-based products, discontinue use immediately. You should remove the walking belt to
wipe any excess petroleum-based lubricant off the rollers [11404.A].
2. Refer to your service manual for recommended lubrication intervals and instructions on lubricating your treadmill.
Generally, you should lubricate after every 25 hours of use. This roughly translates to every month if used 5 or more
hours per week, every 2 months if used between 3-5 hours per week, and every 3 months if used less than 3 hours pe
week. When there are multiple people using the treadmill, it may be necessary to lubricate more
frequently[11404.B].
3. Watch and follow along withthis video from our YouTube channel while you lubricate your machine!
4. Turn your treadmill off and unplug from power before applying lubricant. After lubricating, turn on your treadmill and
run the belt at its lowest speed for 3 minutes. This will allow the lubricant to spread evenly across the walking belt. An
spillage or excess should be wiped away with a dry cloth [11404.C].
5. If you are lubricating too frequently or applying too much lubricant, check under the walking belt to ensure lubricant
is not accumulating under the belt. Wipe any excess away with a dry cloth or paper towel [11404.D].
