TO SET TREADBELT TRACKING:
A 6 mm Allen wrench is provided to adjust the rear roller. Make tracking adjustments
from the
left
side only. Set belt
speed at approximately 2 to 3 mph.
A small adjustment can make a
dramatic difference. Turn the bolt
only a 1/4 turn and wait a few
minutes for the belt to adjust itself.
Continue to make 1/4 turns until
the belt stabilizes in the center of
the running deck. The belt may
require periodic tracking
adjustment depending on use and
walking/running characteristics. Some users will affect tracking differently. Expect to
make adjustments as required to center the treadbelt. Adjustments will become less of
a maintenance concern as the belt is used. Proper belt tracking is an owner
responsibility common with all treadmills.
ATTENTION: DAMAGE TO THE RUNNING BELT RESULTING FROM IMPROPER
TRACKING / TENSION ADJUSTMENTS IS NOT COVERED UNDER THE
WARRANTY.
BELT / DECK LUBRICATION:
Do not lubricate with other than Xterra approved lubricant. Your treadmill comes with one
tube of lubricant and extra tubes can be ordered directly from Xterra. There are
commercially available lube kits, but the only one currently approved by Xterra is
Lube-N-Walk. These kits come with an application wand that makes applying the
lubrication easier. Keeping the deck lubricated at the recommended intervals ensures
the longest life possible for your treadmill. If the lubricant dries out, the friction between
the belt and deck rises and places undue stress on the drive motor, drive belt and
electronic motor control board, which could result in catastrophic failure of these
expensive components. Failure to lubricate the deck at regular intervals may void the
warranty.
The deck comes pre-lubricated and subsequent lubrication should be performed every
180 hours of use. The console has a built in lubrication reminder indicator that lights
every 180 hours of use. To lubricate the deck with the tube of lubricant supplied it will be
necessary to loosen the walking belt. Using the 6 mm allen wrench supplied, loosen the
two rear roller adjustment bolts -- located in the rear end caps – enough to get your hand
under the belt (5 –10 turns). Make sure to loosen both bolts the same amount of turns
and also remember how many turns, because when finished you will need to tighten the
bolts back to the point they were before.
Once the belt is loose, wipe the deck with a clean lint free cloth to remove any dirt. Apply
the whole tube of lubricant onto the deck surface about 18 inches from the motor cover.
Squeeze out the contents of the tube across the deck (parallel to the motor cover) in
about a one-foot long line, like toothpaste on a toothbrush. The one-foot line should be in
the middle of the deck at approximately equal distance from both side edges of the belt.
You want the lubricant to be applied about the spot that your feet would hit the belt as you
