4 Belt/Deck/Roller Lubrication:
The mat/deck friction may play a major role in the function and life of your treadmill and that
is why we recommend you constantly lubricate this friction point to prolong the useful life of
your treadmill.
Lubrication is provided with this unit. You should apply the enclosed lubrication after
approximately the first 50 hours of operation. We recommend lubrication of the deck
according to the following timetable:
Light use (less than 3 hours per week) every 6 months
Medium use (3-5 hours a week) every 3 months
Heavy use (more than 5 hours per week) every 6-8 weeks.
See below procedures for lubricating:
1. Use a soft, dry cloth to wipe the area between the belt and deck.
2. Spread lubricant onto the inside surface of belt and deck evenly (make sure the machine
is turned off and power is disconnected).
3. Periodically lubricate the front and rear rollers to keep them at there peak performance.
If the treadmill belt/deck/roller is kept reasonably clean it is possible to expect over 1200
hours before additional re-lubricating is necessary.
5 How to check the running mat for proper lubrication:
1. Disconnect the main power supply.
2. Fold the treadmill up into the storage position.
3. Feel the back surface of the running mat.
If the surface is slick when touched, then no further lubrication is needed.
If the surface is dry to the touch, apply a suitable silicone lubricant.
We recommend you use a silicone based spray to lubricate your Lifespan Treadmill.
This can be purchased from your local sports Retailer or a local hardware store.
6 Belt Adjustment
Belt Tension Adjustment-It is very important for joggers and runners in order to provide a
smooth, steady running surface. Adjustment must be made from the right and left rear roller
in order to adjust tension with the Hexagonal Wrench provided in the parts package. The
adjustment bolt is located at the end of the rails as noted in diagram below:
