Maintenance
CAUTION – FOR SAFE OPERATION
Always inspect hardware prior to any exercise session. Turn power switch to the “OFF”
position and unplug electrical cord from the outlet before attempting maintenance.
Inspect unit for loose parts and frayed wires. Repair or replace any damaged or worn
parts, tighten all loose hardware as necessary.
After training, always wipe down your treadmill. Perspiration that continuously settles
on frame, pads or casing may eventually cause rust or damage to the unit. Damage
resulting from lack of proper maintenance will not be covered under warranty.
A proper maintenance will extend the life and ensure a better performance of the tread-
mill. Below you will find our recommendations for the maintenance of your treadmill:
Overall Cleaning
Use a damp cloth to clean outer surface and console of the treadmill. DO NOT USE
PETROLEUM BASED PRODUCTS TO CLEAN ANY PART OF THE TREADMILL. Use a
clean, lint free, cloth to occasionally clean the deck surface.
Belt/Deck Maintenance
Lubrication to the deck is very important to your treadmill. It will reduce the wear of the
deck and maintain the smooth running surface. Although this treadmill has been pre-
lubed at the factory but periodic lubrication is still necessary. It is difficult to predict
exactly when the belt will need lubrication, one of the most common symptoms is a hes-
itation or pause of the belt when you set your foot. Here are some of the tips for deck
lubrication:
• Wipe entire deck surface with a clean, lint free cloth.
• Lubricate deck with the Diamondback Lubrication Kit (which can be purchased
through your Diamondback Dealer.)
• Follow the instructions as specified in the Lubrication Kit.
• Lubricate your treadmill approximately every 6 months of normal use.
Belt Adjustment
Proper belt adjustment is important for smooth and safe operation of the treadmill. If the
belt is too loose, you will feel a slight hesitation each time you take a step. (If this symp-
tom occurs, first turn the treadmill off and try lubricating the deck/belt – see Belt/Deck
Maintenance.)
The adjustment screws must be tightened evenly in order to adjust the belt properly. The
adjustment screws are located at the rear of the treadmill in the end caps.
