Running Deck
Symptom:
Running deck squeaks when running (continued).
Correcting the problem:
1. Position the deck with the rear bumpers properly aligned with the steel posts.
With a pencil, make a mark on the deck adjacent to each of the four delrin rods(
as seen from the top of the side rails).
2. Reach under the running deck, shift the deck as far as possible to tone side. On
the side that now has the edge of the deck exposed from under the frame, pull
the rear edge of the deck upward until it is just above the frame rail. Use a
screwdriver or putty knife to hold the deck above the frame. Using another
screwdriver, raise and hold the front of the deck.
3. Remove the bumper(s) that are not aligned with the pencil marks by carefully
prying them away from the deck with a screwdriver, knife or putty knife.
4. Position the bumpers (removed in the previous step) so they are adjacent to the
pencil mark(s), and drive them into the edge of the deck using a hammer.
5. Once the bumpers on the side have been installed in the proper locations,
remove the screwdrivers used to hold the deck above the frame.
6. Repeat process on opposite side of the treadmill.
7. After the bumpers have been properly installed on both sides of the running
deck, position the deck properly, and verify that all bumpers have adjacent o
the holes. Reinstall the delrin rods.
8. Test the treadmill thoroughly. The squeak should be gone.
