Significant measures for inspection of the treadmill:
Treadmill installation
Running surface belt
Drive unit and the lifting system
Nuts and bolts
Secondary bearing and guide rollers
Electronics

9.3 Lubrication
9.3.1 Bearings
Almost all bearings in the treadmill have been lubricated by the manufacturer and need
not be greased. The 4 bearings at the front and rear axles must be lubricated once a
year with one stroke of the grease gun.
Remove the side panels when lubricating bearings.
One pump of grease can be inserted into zerk fittings on bearings (need a grease
gun with a flex bit).
If necessary, tighten bolts that secure bearings to the frame.

9.3.2 Running Surface Belt, Drive Axle
The teeth on the bottom of the tread belt are sufficiently lubricated in the factory to
minimize noise. The teeth do not need to be lubricated. When the running surface belt
rubs on the side of the guide rollers, the use of a small amount of lubricant (Molykote or
similar product) on the edges of the v-guide can contribute to noise reduction. To ensure
correct tread belt alignment, apply grease to the teeth on the rear driving axle.
