CARE OF YOUR TREADCLIMBER® FITNESS MACHINE
Walking Belt and Deck Lubrication
The TreadClimber® fitness machine is equipped with a pre-lubricated, low maintenance deck and belt system.
Belt friction may affect the function and life of the TreadClimber® fitness machine. For the best results from your
TreadClimber® fitness machine, always remember to lubricate the treadles periodically with a silicone lubricant, using
the following instructions:
1. Turn off and unplug the TreadClimber® fitness machine from the wall outlet, and remove the power cord from the
incoming power plug on the front of the machine.
2. Gently lift each side of the
TreadClimber® fitness
machine’s belt and apply a
small amount of the silicone
lubricant directly onto the
treadle beneath each belt while
the treadle surfaces are warm
(not hot).
3. Plug the TreadClimber® fitness machine back into the machine base and then into wall outlet.
4. Stand to one side of your TreadClimber® fitness machine on the rubber mat.
5. Turn on your TreadClimber®
fitness machine, and start the
belts at the slowest speed. Let
the belts run for approximately
15 seconds.
6. Turn off your TreadClimber®
fitness machine.
7. Take care to wipe up any excess silicone lubricant from the treadle deck surface area and your rubber floor mat.
NOTE: To reduce the possibility of slipping, be sure the treadle deck surface area is free from excess lubricant. Wipe off any
excess lubricant from the machine surfaces.
We also recommend a periodic inspection of the treadle surfaces under the belts. If the decks appear worn, contact a
TreadClimber® Representative listed in the Important Contact Numbers section of this manual.
Use the following timetable as a guide to lubricate the decks:
• Light user (fewer than 3 hours/week): annually
• Medium user (3-5 hours/week): every 6 months
• Heavy user (more than 5 hours/week): every three months
We recommend that you only use Silicone Spray, available at most Hardware and Auto Parts stores.
ALWAYS UNPLUG THE POWER CORD FROM THE WALL OUTLET BEFORE
REMOVING OR INSTALLING PARTS TO AVOID THE RISK OF ELECTROCUTION,
SHOCK OR PERSONAL INJURY.
