Maintenance & Care
Lubricating the Treadmill Belt
The most important maintenance measure for a treadmill is regular and timely lubrication and regular maintenance
and care of the treadmill belt. Damage or defects to the treadmill belt resulting from lack of or failure to care for or
lubricate the treadmill belt, are not covered by the warranty or guarantee under any circumstances.
The treadmill belt must always be lubricated if a signicant increase in friction of the treadmill belt is noted. This can be
detected by a jerking movement of the belt while training, or an error message (eg. “E05”) in the cockpit display.
Inadequate lubrication or care and the associated signicant increase in friction inevitably leads to increased wear and
causes damage to the treadmill belt, running deck, engine and circuit board.
The frequency of use of the treadmill largely dictates how often you must perform maintenance. Because this varies from
user to user, we recommend creating a service booklet. You should set a xed day of the week to check the lubrication of
the treadmill belt during the rst 6 months of use. To do this, lift the front third of the treadmill belt and feel with your hand
towards the middle if there is still lubricant present. If so, enter the date and “ok” in the service booklet. If little or no lubricant
is present, lubricate the belt and enter this with the date. After some time, you can see the lubrication interval required.
Even if you do not want to keep a maintenance book, you must check the lubrication of the treadmill belt at
least once a week!
Reminder Function
In addition, this treadmill is equipped with a reminder function. Every 300 kilometres a message “OIL” will appear in the dis-
play and a warning signal will sound. After checking the lubrication and possible lubrication of the treadmill, press the STOP
button for approx. 3 to 5 seconds to switch o the message and the warning signal.
Check the lubrication of the treadmill belt and if necessary lubricate it according to the following instructions. To reset the
reminder function, press the STOP key for approximately 3 to 5 seconds.
If the treadmill is not used, or if the treadmill remains folded-up for some longer period you must check the lubrication of the
belt before use and lubricate it if necessary.
To achieve optimum lubrication of the belt, use the MAXXUS care oil bottle, remove the normal screw bottle top (Fig 1) and
screw on the thin tube top (Fig 2). Before lubricating the belt, make sure that the treadmill is switched-o and that the tread-
mill belt is no longer moving. Now lift the treadmill belt (Fig 3).
