Use the Lubricant to lubricate the deck beneath the belt. If you can reach under the belt
approximately 15cm on each side, use the following procedure: Unplug the electrical cord. Lift up
on the belt and reach under with the tube of lubricant. Squirt most of the lubricant on the deck
surface. Repeat the process on the opposite side.
Apply the lubricant onto the deck surface from the motor cover until the end of the belt.
S
queeze out the contents of the tube across the deck in about a 45cm line, like toothpaste on a
toothbrush. The 45cm should be in the middle of the deck at approximately equal distance
from both side edges of the belt. You want the lubricant to be applied about the spot that your
feet would hit the belt as you are walking. This should be about 20-30cm from the motor
cover, but you may want to walk on the treadmill to note where your
feet land on the belt. If
you mostly use the treadmill for running, the spot where your feet land may be different from
walking. Now the deck is lubricated and you should walk, not run, on the treadmill
immediately for at least 5 minutes to ensure the lubricant is evenly distributed.
BELT ADJUSTMENTS
Tread-belt Tension Adjustment - Belt tension is not critical for most users. It is
very important though for
joggers and runners in order to provide a smooth,
steady running surface. Adjustment must be made from the rear roller with
the 6 mm Allen wrench provided in the parts package. The adjustment bolts
are located at the end of the step rails as shown in the diagram below.
Tighten the rear roller only enough to
prevent slippage at the front roller. Turn
the tread-belt tension adjusting bolts 1/4
turn each an
d inspect for proper tension
by walking on the belt and making sure it
is not slipping or hesitating with each
step. When an adjustment
is made to the belt tension, you must be sure to turn the bolts on both sides
evenly or the belt could start tracking to one side instead of running in the
middle of the deck.
DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN – Over tightening will cause belt damage and
premature bearing failure. If you tight
en the belt a lot and it still slips, the
problem could actually be the drive belt - located under the motor cover - that
connects the motor to the front roller. If that belt is loose it feels similar to the
walking belt being loose. Tightening the motor belt should be done by a trained
service person.
TREADBELT TRACKING ADJUSTMENT
The treadmill is designed so that the tread-belt remains reasonably centered while in
use. It is normal for some belts to drift near one side while in use, depending on a
user’s gait and if they favor one leg. But if during use the belt continues to move
toward one side, adjustments are necessary.
