Belt Lubrication
You should lubricate the belt on the TR1000 every 200 hours of use or if you feel the treadmill
straining to move the belt during normal use.
Note: If the belt loses its lubrication it will place stress on the motor and electronics during
operation and increase the chance of product damage.
Use a non-petroleum base silicon spray. You can purchase belt lubricants from
www.treadmilldoctor.com or we recommend a silicon spray from Napa Auto parts. When
purchasing the silicon spray you will need a lubricant that includes an extension nozzle.
To lubricate the belt, keep the treadmill in its normal operating position, turn it on and set the
speed to 3 MPH. Add the extension nozzle to the spray can and insert the nozzle into the gap in
treadmill frame between the side rail and the steel frame. Make sure that the nozzle goes
through the gap in the frame and behind the bottom of the treadmill belt on the underside of the
treadmill. With the treadmill running at 3 MPH spray the silicon for 5-6 seconds.
Refer to the picture below to see the correct location for the silicon nozzle.
Note: When lubricating the belt, make sure that the treadmill is located on a surface that can
be easily cleaned. Do not over spray. After completing the lubrication, fold the treadmill and
clean off any excess silicon spray from the bottom of the treadmill and the floor or matt.
Make sure the area has adequate ventilation and refer to all safety precautions from the silicon
manufacturer.
Cleaning
After use, wipe down your treadmill with a soft cloth. On a regular basis, you will also want to
clean the treadmill using a mild detergent to remove all dirt and salt from the belt, painted parts
and the display.
Avoid getting dirt and other materials on the belt as these materials can work their way under the
belt and damage your treadmill or cause components to wear prematurely.
