HOW TO LUBRICATE THE TREAD BELT
• Lubricating your WalkSlim 540 treadmill is essential before starting to use it for the
first time along with during normal use.
• During normal use, friction marks may appear between the tread belt surface and
the treadmill base. To avoid unnecessary friction and to maximize the life of your
treadmill, it is recommended to lubricate the tread belt surface with lubricant after
every 10-15 times or according to the following schedule:
• Lightweight users (less than 3 hours/week) - Lubricate once every 3 months
• Moderate users (3-6 hours/week) - Lubricate once every 2 months
• Heavyweight users (more than 6 hours/week) - once every month
• Do not lubricate too much
The following is a step-by-step guide
1. Make sure the treadmill is unplugged and place it on an even,
non-slippery surface.
2. Lift the tread belt surface up starting from the upper corner.
3. Reach in under the tread belt and apply the lubricant by
squeezing droplets on the underside of the tread belt
surface, ensuring the lubricant is applied at least 10-15cm
towards the middle of the tread belt. Only apply 5-10ml of
lubricant each time.
4. Once lubricated, plug the treadmill back into the power
point and turn ON. Using the remote control, press the Start
button. Stand on the tread belt and start walking. After a few
minutes the lubricant will have absorbed into the tread belt.
Remember proper lubrication is an important factor in maintaining the treadmill. To
check if you need to add lubricant, make sure the treadmill is turned off at the power
outlet. Run your hand under the tread belt from the top to the bottom. If your hand is
slightly damp with silicone oil there is no need to lubricate. If your hand is completely
dry, it is time to add lubricant.
