RUNNING BELT TENSIONING ADJUSTMENT
If you place your feet on the belt and feel a slipping sensation, then the belt has stretched and is
slipping across the rollers. All belts will stretch over time. This is a normal and common
adjustment on any treadmill. To eliminate this slipping, tension both Allen bolts on the rear roller
1/4 turn. Try the treadmill again to check for slipping. Repeat if necessary, but NEVER turn
the roller bolts more than 1/4 turn at a time.
DRIVE BELT TENSIONING ADJUSTMENT
If you have tensioned the running belt and are still experiencing a slipping sensation, call your
dealer. Only an authorized dealer should perform tensioning of the drive belt.
LUBRICATING THE DECK
A well-lubricated deck will ensure high performance of your treadmill and reduce the level of
normal wear and tear to important components. This treadmill has been pre-lubed at the
factory. However, for optimal performance, the running deck may require periodic lubrication.
With average usage (30 minute workout at 5-6 Km/H 3 times a week for two people) lubricate
every six months. You may adjust the timing of the lubrication based on the intensity of the
treadmill use level.
To check the lubrication level, simply lift the running belt, and put your hand as far into the center
of the belt as you can reach. If your hand shows signs of silicone, then it does not need
additional lubrication. If the board feels dry and there is very little evidence of silicone on your
hand, then additional lubrication should be added.
TO LUBRICATE THE DECK:
1. Stop running belt so that the seam is located on top and in the center of the deck.
2. Insert nozzle into spray head of lubricant can.
3. Lift running belt.
4. Position nozzle between the belt and the board approximately 200mm (8”) from the front of the
treadmill.
5. Apply the silicon from the front to the rear of the treadmill on each side of the treadmill. Try
to reach the spray as far into the center of the running deck as possible. The spray time
should be approximately four seconds for each side.
6. Spread the silicon by running the treadmill at 1 Km/H and step gently on the belt from left to
right. Do that for a few minutes and allow the silicon to soak into the belt.
CAUTION!
Over tightening of the
belt will severely shorten
the life of the belt and
may cause further
damage to other
components.
NOTE!
A well lubricated deck
will ensure longevity of
your treadmill in addition
to providing you with the
optimal performance.
