S-DRIVE BELT LUBRICATION – S-DPT-01/TM529 ONLY
S-DriveP/TM535, S-DriveM/TM534, & S-DriveC/TM533 DO NOT require lubrication.
Unlike Matrix treadmills, S-Drive model TM529 has an unwaxed deck and belt.
It is recommended to lubricate the deck every three months. This depends on many factors such as usage, age of
the S-Drive, environmental conditions and more. A simple test can be performed to identify if the deck / belt need
to be lubricated.
CHECKING LUBRICATION
1. With both brake levers set to maximum, stand at the top of the deck.
2. Simultaneously adjust both levers to level one.
3. With a light push of the handlebar, you should glide smoothly backward toward the rear roller, and no
lubrication is needed at this time.
4. If the deck is too dry, you will not glide smoothly backward and a high-viscosity silicone needs to be applied.
Matrix requires a higher viscosity silicone than what is used on home treadmills. Each TM529 S-Drive comes
with a 100ml bottle. Bottles can also be ordered through Matrix by contacting Customer Technical Support.
Part #:
• 100ml bottle: #1000384124 (2 applications)
• 2L bottle: #1000431357 (40 applications)
LUBRICATING DECK
1. Using an 8 mm Allen key or socket, loosen the rear roller bolts 10–15 counterclockwise turns. This should
give the belt enough slack to lift in the center, exposing the deck.
2. Lift the belt as far as you can and apply the silicone in a zigzag pattern across the entire deck. Use 50 ml per
application. Do not apply silicone to the belt.
3. Re-tension the belt and walk on the S-Drive at a comfortable speed for three minutes to spread the silicone.
If you notice that the belt is not centered on the deck, please align.
4. Wipe excess silicone away with a cloth.
