4. How to check the running mat for proper lubrication
1.Disconnect the main power supply.
2.Fold the treadmill up into the storage position.
3.Feel the back surface of the running mat.
If the surface is slick when touched, then no further lubrication is needed.
If the surface is dry to the touch,apply a suitable silicone lubricant.
we recommend you use a silicone based spray to lubricate your Lifespan Treadmill. This
Canbe purchased from your local sports Retailer or a local hardware store.
5. Belt Adjustment
Belt Tension Adjustment-It is very important for joggers and runners in order to provide
asmooth, steady running surface. Adjustment must be made from the right and left rear
roller in order to adjust tension with the Hexagonal Wrench provided in the parts pack
age.The adjustment bolt is located at the end of the rails as noted in diagram below:
Right bolt
Left bolt
Note: Adjustment is the small hold on the end caps.
Tighten the rear roller only enough to prevent slippage at the front roller.Turn both the
rightand left bolt clockwise reasonably and inspect for proper tension. When an adjust-
EN
ment ismade to the belt tension, you must also make a tracking adjustment to compen-
sate for thechange in belt tension.
DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN - Over tightening will cause belt damage and premature bearing
failure.
6. Belt Tracking Adjustment
This treadmill is designed to keep the belt reasonably center while in use. It is normal
forsome belts to drift near one side while the belt is running with no one on it. After a
fewminutes of use, the belt should have a tendency to center itself. If during use, the belt
continues to move toward one side, adjustments are necessary. The procedures are as
below:
▲ First set speed at lowest position.
▲ Second check the belt shifts to which side.
If the belt shifts to right, tighten the right bolt and loosen the left bolt by using 6mm Hex-
agonal Wrench, until the belt is centered itself; If belt shifts to left, tighten the left bolt
andloosen the right bolt by using 6mm Hexagonal wrench,until the belt is centered. Whe
nadjusting the belt using the 6 mm Hexagonal Wrenches, it is important to adjust the belt
inhalf turn increments. Over adjusting the belt can cause damage to the mat.
