Maxxus 6.4, Installation & Operating Manual

The most important maintenance work to do to a treadmill is regular and timely lubrication and care and mainte-

nance of the belt. Damages or defects caused by failure or lack of maintenance and care are in no way covered by 

the warranty or guarantee. 

The treadmill belt must always be lubricated if a significant increase of friction is detected. This will become apparent if the 

belt makes jerking movements during training or if fault message E1 appears in the display on the cockpit.

Insufficient lubrication or care and the resulting increase in friction will inevitably lead to an increase in wear and cause 

damage to the treadmill belt, deck, motor and circuit board.

How often you use the treadmill will generally determine how often you must carry out the maintenance measures. As this 

varies from person to person, we would recommend that you keep a maintenance book. You should set a specific day every 

week in the first 6 months of use to check the treadmill belt lubrication.

Lift up the front third part of the belt and feel with your hand if there is still lubrication in the middle of the belt. If lubrication 

is present, then write “ok” next to the date in your maintenance book. If there is little or no lubrication present, then lubricate 

the belt and write this down in your maintenance book accordingly. In time it will be possible to see at what time intervals 

lubrication is required.

 Even if you do not want to keep a maintenance book, you must check the lubrication of the treadmill belt at 

least once a week!

If the treadmill is not used, or if the treadmill remains folded-up for some longer period you must check the lubrication of the 

belt before use and lubricate it if necessary.

To achieve optimum lubrication of the belt use the MAXXUS maintenance oil bottle, remove the normal screw bottle top (Di

-

agram 1) and screw on the thin tube top (Diagram 2). Before lubricating the belt, make sure that the treadmill is switched-off 

and that the belt is no longer moving. Lift up the belt (Diagram 3).

Lubricating the Treadmill Belt

The belt should be lubricated from both sides. Lift up the belt from one side high enough so that you can reach the middle 

of the belt with the end of the thin tube on the silicone oil bottle. Apply a wavy line of silicone oil from the middle of the belt 

towards the sides. You should apply three to four lines of silicone oil running from the middle of the belt to the sides. At each 

lubrication process you should not apply more than 10 to max 20ml of silicone oil. If too much silicon is applied this may 

lead to the treadmill belt slipping through. In this case remove the excess oil from the deck and drive rollers with a dry cloth.

Only use the silicone bottle supplied or MAXXUS® maintenance oil (available from  

www.maxxus.de) to lubricate the treadmill belt. Do not at any time use any other types of silicone or lubricants! 

After completing a lubrication process, walk and run on the treadmill with the belt running at a speed of 3 - 4 km/h for 

approx. 3 to 5 minutes. Whilst doing this, change your position constantly from left to right and in the middle of the belt to 

distribute the silicone oil well.

Following lubrication do not fold up the treadmill for at least 3 days.
