adjustment on any treadmill. To eliminate this slipping, tension both Allen bolts on the rear roller
1/4 turn. Try the treadmill again to check for slipping. Repeat if necessary, but NEVER turn
the roller bolts more than 1/4 turn at a time.
DRIVE BELT TENSIONING ADJUSTMENT:
If you have tensioned the running belt and are still experiencing a slipping sensation, call your
dealer. Only an authorized dealer should perform tensioning of the drive belt.
LUBRICATING THE DECK:
A well-lubricated deck will ensure high performance of your treadmill and reduce the level of
normal wear and tear to important components. This treadmill has been pre-lubricated at the
factory. However, for optimal performance, the running deck may require periodic lubrication.
With average usage (30 minute workout at 5-6 Km/H 3 times a week for two people) lubricate
every six months. You may adjust the timing of the lubrication based on the intensity of the
treadmill use level.
To check the lubrication level, simply lift the running belt, and put your hand as far into the center
of the belt as you can reach. If your hand shows signs of silicone, then it does not need
additional lubrication. If the board feels dry and there is very little evidence of silicone on your
hand, then additional lubrication is necessary.
TO LUBRICATE THE DECK:
1. Stop running belt so that the seam is located on top and in the center of the deck.
2. Insert extending tube nozzle into spray head of lubricant can.
3. Lift running belt.
4. Position nozzle between the belt and the deck board approximately 200mm (8”) from the front
of the treadmill.
5. Apply the silicon from the front to the rear of the treadmill on each side of the treadmill. Try to
reach the spray as far into the center of the running deck as possible. A light coating of
silicone spray should be applied to the deck under the belt on each side. Be certain the
center of the walking area gets lubricated.
6. Spread the silicon by running the treadmill at 1 Km/H and step gently on the belt from left to
right. Do that for a few minutes and allow the silicon to soak into the belt.
