- Tighten all assembly hardware.
- Check the power cord for damage.
- Safety and Integrity: Regularly examine the treadmill for damage. Replace worn or damaged components immediately, or remove the treadmill from service until repaired.
- Belt Lubrication:
- Use only 100% silicone lubricant (LifeSpan offers this). Avoid aerosol sprays with additives or petroleum distillates.
- TR800B & TR1200B: Lubricate every 50 hours of use with one ounce of silicone per application.
- TR5000B: Features a maintenance-free belt and does not require lubrication.
- Procedure: Unplug the treadmill. Lift the belt and apply about a dozen sprays toward the center from each side. Rotate the belt 1/3 and repeat twice more. Plug in and walk for a few minutes to disperse. Clean any excess silicone from the belt and side rails.
- Belt Tensioning:
- If the belt slips, tension bolts are at the back of the treadmill.
- Start the treadmill at 3 mph (5 kph).
- Use a 6 mm Allen wrench (included) to turn both right and left tension bolts 1/2 turn clockwise.
- Test for slipping; repeat if necessary.
- Caution: Do not tighten more than 2 full turns on each side to avoid excessive friction and wear. Check belt alignment after tensioning.
- Belt Alignment:
- Start the treadmill at 3 mph (5 kph).
- Observe belt drift from behind.
- If belt drifts left: Turn left adjustment bolt 1/4 turn clockwise, and right adjustment bolt 1/4 turn counter-clockwise.
- If belt drifts right: Turn left adjustment bolt 1/4 turn counter-clockwise, and right adjustment bolt 1/4 turn clockwise.
- Observe for two minutes and repeat as needed.
- Moving the Treadmill Base:
- Turn OFF the ON/OFF switch and unplug the power cord.
- Ensure the area around the treadmill is clear.
- Place both hands under the support bar at the back of the walking belt.
- Lift the back and roll to the desired location.
- Caution: Use proper lifting techniques (bend knees and elbows, keep back straight, lift evenly).
Troubleshooting:
- Console erratic/not lighting up: Check power plug, ON/OFF switch, safety key, and console wire connector. Disconnect/reconnect console connections.
- Motor strained/E1 error: Lubricate the belt with 100% silicone spray.
- Treadmill pauses automatically: Turn off Intelli-Guard in Personal Settings if step count is not being picked up.
- Speed feels wrong: Check Unit of Measure (Metric/English) in Personal Settings.
- "UART" or "dc-6" display: Turn off power, unplug/re-plug console connector, ensure thumb screws are tight, and check treadmill power plug.
