Maintenance

Belt and Running Deck 

Your treadmill uses a very high-

efficient low-friction bed. Performance 

is maximized when the running deck is 

kept as clean as possible. Use a soft, 

damp cloth or paper towel to wipe the 

edge of the belt and the area between 

the belt edge and frame. Also reach as 

far as practical directly under the belt 

edge. This should be done once a month 

to extend belt and running deck life. Use 

water only - no cleaners or abrasives. A 

mild soap and water solution along with 

a nylon scrub brush will clean the top of 

the textured belt. Allow the belt to dry 

before using.

NOTE:

The Running belt is pre-waxed. 

Any form lubrication will harm the 

performance and durability of the 

running belt.

Belt Dust

This occurs during normal break-in or 

until the belt stabilizes. Wiping excess off 

with a damp cloth will minimize buildup.

General Cleaning

Dirt, dust, and pet hair can block air 

inlets and accumulate on the running 

belt. On a monthly basis: vacuum 

underneath your treadmill to prevent 

buildup. Twice a year, you should 

remove the black motor hood and 

vacuum out dirt that may accumulate. 

UNPLUG POWER CORD BEFORE 

THIS TASK.

Belt adjustments:

Running belt Tension Adjustment - 

Adjustment must be made from the rear 

roller. The adjustment bolts are located 

at the end of the step rails in the end 

caps, as noted in diagram below.

Tighten the rear roller bolts (clockwise) 

only enough to prevent slippage at 

the front roller. Turn both running belt 

tension adjustment bolts in increments 

of 1/4 turn each and inspect for proper 

tension by walking on the belt at a low 

speed, making sure the belt does not 

slip. Keep tensioning the bolts until the 

belt stops slipping. 

If you feel the belt is tight enough, but 

it still slips, the problem may be a loose 

Motor drive belt under the front cover.

Do Not Overtighten  

Over tightening will cause belt damage 

and premature bearing failure.

Running belt tracking adjustment:

The performance of your treadmill is 

dependent on the frame running on a 

reasonably level surface. If the frame 

is not level, the front and back roller 

cannot run parallel, and constant belt 

adjustment may be necessary.

The treadmill is designed to keep the 

running belt reasonably centred while in 

use. It is normal for some belts to drift 

near one side while the belt is running 

with no one on it. After a few minutes 

of use, the running belt should have a 

tendency to center itself. If, during use, 

the belt continues to move toward one 

side, adjustments are necessary.

Exception: 

During rehabilitation where the user is 

using one leg much stronger than the 

other, it might happen that the running 

belt drifts to one side. In these cases
