Belt/Deck Lubrication Procedure

First, you want to clean between the belt and deck to remove any debris that may be trapped. 

Use a clean, non-fraying rag, t-shirt, or light towel. Halfway between the end of the treadmill 

and motor cover, shove the garment under the belt until you can grasp it on both sides of the 

belt. Drag the garment the length of the entire belt 1-2 times. Remove the garment.

Do not lubricate with anything other than XTERRA Fitness approved lubricant. 

Your treadmill 

comes with one tube of “Lube” and extra tubes can be ordered directly from  

www.xterrafitness.com

. 

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 failure of these components. Failure to lubricate the deck at regular intervals 

may void the warranty. 

The belt & deck come pre-lubricated and subsequent lubrication should be performed every 

90 hours of use or if you notice that the deck is dry. It is recommended that you reach be-

tween the belt and deck to verify there is lubrication present, every other month. If you check 

and there isn’t any lubrication present, follow the procedure below even though the “Lube” 

indicator isn’t lit on the console. Otherwise, lubricate when the console’s lubrication reminder 

lights after 90 hours of use. Use the following procedure to apply the silicone lubricant:

1.  Turn the power switch off and unplug the power cord from the wall outlet

2.  Measure 18” from the edge of the motor cover; kneel down and reach under the belt 

approximately 4- 6” from one edge. Squirt a line of lubricant about 1/8” wide x 15” long 

in an “S” pattern perpendicular to the motor cover.

3.  Repeat the process on the opposite side.

4.  Plug the electrical cord back into the outlet and turn the power switch on.

5.  Walk on the belt at a moderate speed for five minutes to evenly distribute the silicone 

lube.

6.  Note: If the “Lube” message appears on the console, perform the following procedure to
