BELT ADJUSTMENT AND LUBRICATION
Belt Adjustment:
The belt is adjusted at the factory; it may come loose during transportation and/or from use.
After prolong use of the treadmill, the belt will stretch out. If the belt is shifting to the left,
turn on the main power switch of treadmill and let the belt run at the speed of 2-3 KPH.
Using the Allen Wrench with Phillips Screwdriver provided, turn the left rear roller
adjustment bolt 1/4 turn in the clockwise direction. You should see the belt start to correct
itself by moving back toward the center. Repeat the above procedure until the belt is
properly centered. If the belt is shifting to the right, turn on the main power switch of
treadmill and let the belt run at the speed of 2-3 KPH. Using the Allen Wrench with Phillips
Screwdriver provided, turn the right rear roller adjustment bolt 1/4 turn in the clockwise
direction. You should see the belt start to correct itself by moving back toward the center.
Repeat the above procedure until the belt is properly centered. If the belt is slipping during
use, turn off and unplugged the treadmill. Using the Allen Wrench with Phillips
Screwdriver provided, turn both left and right rear roller adjustment bolts 1/4 turn in the
clockwise direction for the same amount, then turn on the main power switch of treadmill
and let the belt run at the speed of 2-3 KPH. You should now walk on to the belt to
determine if the belt is still slipping. Repeat the above procedure until the belt no longer
slips.
Lubrication:
The treadmill has already been coated with "Silicone Oil" in advance. Silicone oil is a
non-volatile oil and by the time you receive should have permeated through the belt.
There will be no need to re-apply the oil under normal circumstances.
To maintain the belt, "Silicone Oil" may be re-applied once the resistance has been
increased and the belt starts rubbing against the running deck. To re-apply “Silicone Oil”
to the treadmill, lift up the belt, one side at a time, and apply the oil directly to the center of
the running deck. Allow the silicone oil to 'set' for one minute before using the treadmill.
Attention:
Only use "Silicone Oil" lubricants for this equipment.
In addition, do not add
any other type of oil; otherwise the treadmill will be damaged. Do not over-lubricate
the walking board. Excess lubricant should be wiped off with a clean towel.
