CHaPTer 3: Preventative maintenance
Preventative maintenance is the key to smoothly operating equipment, as well as keeping the user’s liability to a minimum. Equipment needs to be
inspected at regular intervals. Defective components must be replaced immediately. Improperly working equipment must be kept out of use until it is
repaired. Ensure that any person(s) making adjustments or performing maintenance or repair of any kind is qualified to do so.

It is necessary to lubricate your treadmill running deck every six months
or 150 miles to maintain optimal performance. Your treadmill came with
a bottle of lubricant which can be used for two applications. If you need
lubricant, contact Customer Technical Support. Only use lubricant provided
by Customer Technical Support.
Turn off the treadmill with the ON / OFF switch, then unplug the power
•
cord at the wall outlet.
Loosen both the rear roller bolts. (For best results, place two remov-
•
able marks on both sides of the frame to note roller position). Once
the belt is loosened, take the bottle of lubricant and apply it to the
entire top surface of the running deck (not the belt). Tighten both rear
roller bolts (matching up the marks for proper position) to the original
position. After you have applied lubricant, plug in the power cord,
insert the safety key, start the treadmill and walk on the belt for two
minutes to spread the lubricant.
If your treadmill has air shocks, lubricate them with Teflon based
•
spray.
Contact Customer Technical Support with questions about applying the
lubricant to your treadmill.
