Lubricating the Walking Belt
Yourtreadmill is equipped with a low maintenance deck and belt system. Belt friction can affect the function and life of the
machine. Lubricate the belt every 3 months or every 50hours of use,whichever comes first. Even if the treadmill is not in use,
silicone will dissipate and the belt will dry out. Forthe best results lubricate the deck periodically with a silicone lubricant, using
the following instructions:
1. Unplug the treadmill fully from the wall outlet, and remove the power cord from the machine.
Note: Make sure the treadmill is located on a surface that iseasy to clean.
2. Apply a very thin layer of silicone lubricant on the deck below the belt. Carefully lift the belt and apply a
few drops of the lubricant the entire width of the belt.
NOTICE:
Always use a silicone-based lubricant. Do not use a degreaser like WD-40®asthis could seriously
impact performance. We recommend that you usethe following:
• 8300Silicone Spray,available at most Hardware andAuto Parts stores.
• Lube-N-Walk® Treadmill Lubrication Kit, available from your local specialty fitness dealer
or Nautilus, Inc.
3. Connect the power cord back into the machine and then into the wall outlet.
4. Stay to one side of your machine.
5. Switch on your machine and start the belt at the slowest speed. Let the belt operate for approximately
15 seconds.
6. Switch off your machine.
7. Take care to clean up any excess lubricant from the deck. We also recommend a periodic inspection
of the deck surface below the belt. If the deck appears worn, contact a Nautilus Representative (refer
to the Contacts page of this manual).
A o decrease the possibility of slipping, be sure the deck area is free from grease or oil. Clean off any excess oil
from the machine surfaces.
Moving and Storage

necessary.
