Lubrication (fig. F-4)

The running belt must be checked for
lubrication once per 2 months, based on the
average use of 60 minutes per day.
WARNING
• Before lubrication, remove the mains plug
from the wall socket.
CAUTION
• Only lubricate the running belt if
necessary. If you apply too much lubricant,
the running belt will slip easily due to lack
of friction.
- Stand steadily on the running belt.
- Take hold of the front handlebar and push
the running belt with your feet so that it
slides back and forth. The running belt must
move smoothly and evenly without making
sound.
- If the running belt does not move smoothly
and evenly or if the running belt does not
move at all, touch the underside of the
running belt with your fingertips to check the
lubrication:
• If you feel lubrication or your fingertips are
shiny, there is sufficient lubrication on the
running belt.
• If you do not feel lubrication or your
fingertips are dusty or rough, apply
lubricant (15-20 ml) in the middle of the
running deck under the running belt and
let the equipment operate at 5km/h for at
least 5 minutes.
• After lubrication, do not fold the
equipment before having done a workout
for 20 minutes with a speed of at least 5
km/h. The lubricant will be spread evenly
over the running belt.
Belt Dust
This occurs during normal break-in or until the
belt stabilizes. Wiping excess off with a damp
cloth will minimize build-up.
General Cleaning
Dirt, dust, and pet hair can block air inlets and
accumulate on the running belt. On a monthly
basis: vacuum underneath your treadmill to
prevent buildup. Twice a year, you should
remove the black motor hood and vacuum out
dirt that may accumulate.
UNPLUG POWER CORD BEFORE THIS TASK.
Belt adjustments
Adjustment must be made from the rear roller.
The adjustment bolts are located at the end of
the step rails in the end caps.
- Tighten the rear roller bolts (clockwise) only
enough to prevent slippage at the front roller.
Turn both running belt tension adjustment
bolts in increments of 1/4 turn each and
inspect for proper tension by walking on the
belt at a low speed, making sure the belt
does not slip. Keep tensioning the bolts until
the belt stops slipping.
- If you feel the belt is tight enough, but it still
slips, the problem may be a loose Motor
drive belt under the front cover.
- Do Not Over-tighten
Over tightening will cause belt damage and
premature bearing failure.
Running belt tracking adjustment
The performance of your treadmill is dependent
on the frame running on a reasonably level
surface. If the frame is not level, the front and
back roller cannot run parallel, and constant
belt adjustment may be necessary.
The treadmill is designed to keep the running
belt reasonably centered while in use. It is
normal for some belts to drift near one side
while the belt is running with no one on it. After
a few minutes of use, the running belt should
have a tendency to center itself. If, during use,
the belt continues to move toward one side,
adjustments are necessary.
Exception: During rehabilitation where the user
is using one leg much stronger than the other,
it might happen that the running belt drifts to
one side. In these cases you should not adjust
unless the running belt does not centre itself
during normal condition usage.
