Be careful not to tighten the running belt tension too much as you can create excessive pressure on the
front and rear roller bearings. An excessively tightened running belt may damage the roller bearings
that would result in bearing noise from the front and rear rollers.
TO DECREASE THE TENSION ON THE RUNNING BELT, TURN BOTH BOLTS COUNTER-
CLOCKWISE THE SAME NUMBER OF TURNS.
CENTERING THE RUNNING BELT:
When you run, you may push off harder with one foot than the other. The severity of the deflection depends on
the amount of force that one foot exerts in the relation to the other. This deflection can cause the belt to move
off- centre. This deflection is normal and the running belt will centre when nobody is on the running belt. If the
running belt remains consistently off-centre, you will need to centre the running belt manually.
Start the treadmill without anyone on the running belt, press FAST-key until speed reached 6kph.
Observe whether the running belt is toward the right or left side of the deck. If toward the left side of
the deck, using wrench, turn the left adjustment bolt clockwise 1/4 turn and the right adjustment bolt
counter clockwise 1/4. If toward the right side of the deck, turn the right adjustment bolt clockwise 1/4
turn and the left adjustment bolt counter clockwise 1/4. If the belt is still not centre, repeat the above
step until the running belt is on centre.
After the belt is centre, increase the speed to 16kph and verify that it is running smoothly. Repeat the
above steps if it is necessary.
If the above procedure is unsuccessful in resolving the off-centre, you may need to increase the belt tension.
LUBRICATION
The treadmill is factory-lubricated. However, it is recommended to check the lubrication of the treadmill
regularly, to ensure an optimal operation of the treadmill. It is usually not necessary to lubricate the treadmill in
the first year or the first 500 hours of operation.
After every 3 months of operation, lift the sides of the treadmill and feel the surface of the belt, as far as possible.
If traces of silicon spray are found, lubrication is not necessary. In case of a dry surface refer to the following
instructions.
Only use oil free silicon spray.
APPLICATION OF LUBRICANT ON THE BELT:
Position the belt so that the seam is located in the middle of the plate.
Insert the spray valve in the spray head of the lubricant container.
Lift the belt at one side and hold the spray valve in a distance to the front end of striding belt and plate.
Start at the front end of the belt. Lead the spray valve in direction of the back end. Repeat this process
on the other side of the belt. Spray each side for about 4 seconds.
Wait 1 minute to let the silicon spray spread, before starting the machine.
CLEANING
Regular cleaning of the striding belt ensures a long product life.
