Applying Wax to a Waxless Running Belt
While it is generally not necessary to add wax to a waxless style running belt, if the running belt is
making unacceptable noises or is experiencing tracking difficulties, adding wax the underside of the
belt will improve the grip between the belt and the rollers which will reduce the noise and improve the
tracking response. This procedure should ONLY be performed by a person that is familiar with
waxing of running belts and is physically able to do so.

x Bottle of Micronized Powdered Paraffin Wax (Part No. 140-3180)
x #2 Phillips screwdriver
x Towel - 36” x 12” (90cm x 30cm) is suggested
