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.

Lubrication (fig. F-4)

The running belt must be checked for lubrication
once per 2 months, based on the average use of 60
minutes per day.

⚠ WARNING

• Before lubrication, remove the mains plug

from the wall socket.

⚠ CAUTION

• Only lubricate the running belt if necessary. If

you apply too much lubricant, the running belt
will slip easily due to lack of friction.

- Stand steadily on the running belt.

- Take hold of the front handlebar and push the

running belt with your feet so that it slides back
and forth. The running belt must move smoothly
and evenly without making sound.

- If the running belt does not move smoothly and

evenly or if the running belt does not move at all,
touch the underside of the running belt with your
fingertips to check the lubrication:

• If you feel lubrication or your fingertips are

shiny, there is sufficient lubrication on the
running belt.

• If you do not feel lubrication or your fingertips

are dusty or rough, apply lubricant (15-20 ml)
in the middle of the running deck under the
running belt and let the equipment operate at
5km/h for at least 5 minutes.

• After lubrication, do not fold the equipment

before having done a workout for 20 minutes
with a speed of at least 5 km/h. The lubricant
will be spread evenly over 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 build-up.

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

Adjustment must be made from the rear roller. The
adjustment bolts are located at the end of the step
rails in the end caps.

- 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 Over-tighten

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 centered 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
you should not adjust unless the running belt does
not centre itself during normal condition usage.
