Maintenance of the Running Board and Belt - Lubrication and Cooling
Your treadmill's running board and running belt has been lubricated at the factory
Friction between the running belt and running board will impact on the life and
performance of your treadmill
Regular application of treadmill lubricant is required, check the board regularly
To check if the belt needs to be lubricated, simply lift each side of the belt and feel the top
surface of the running deck. If it is slick to the touch, then no lubrication is required. If it is
dry to the touch, then lubricate with silicon oil
To lubricate (where required):
oLift the edge of the running to expose the running deck
oPlace a few drops of silicone oil along the centre of the running deck
oRun the treadmill without the user at a slow speed for 5 minutes
CAUTION: Do not over lubricate. Wipe away excess lubricant from the belt.
If the board’s surface is damaged contact our customer service centre
We recommend applying lubricant between running belt and running board:
oInfrequent user (use less than 3 hours a week) - once per month
oFrequent user (use more than 7 hours a week) - once a fortnight
To safeguard your treadmill and extend the life of the unit it is recommended that after 2
hours of continued use the machine be switched off and allowed to cool for a minimum of
10 minutes before using it again
If the treadmill belt is loose it will skid and slip when running.
If the treadmill belt is too tight it may reduce motor performance and increase wear and
tear of the roller and running belt
Lift each side of the running belt around 50-75mm to check the tension
Adjusting alignment and tightness
The running belt is adjusted at the factory, however after use it may stretch and will require
re-tensioning. For best use it may be required to adjust the running belt for its optimum
alignment
Running Belt alignment
Place treadmill flat on the floor but do not stand on it.
Turn on treadmill and set the speed at 6-8km/hour .
If the running belt is shifting to the right, rotate the right adjusting bolt with 1/2 turn
clockwise, then rotate the left adjusting bolt with 1/2 turn counter-clockwise. (Diagram A)
