MAINTENANCE
LUBRICATION
Figure 7. Use the bottle of lubricant (h) to lubricate the inside of the belt in order to keep your
unit in top condition and to ensure that friction between the belt and the board is kept to a
minimum (due to different running styles, always apply more lubrication to the area where you
place your feet during the exercise). It is advisable to lubricate the base of the belt every 3-12
months, depending on how often it is used. Do not use solvent based lubricants.

ADJUSTING THE BELT
Figure 7
Figure 8
If your unit is not seated evenly on the four contact points, this may cause the belt shown on
Figure 8, area (X) to shift sideways. Rigorous quality control adjusts and checks the running
belt. However, due to weight differences and individual styles of running, the belt may be prone
to shift sideways.
If the belt does shift to the left or right, stop the machine and adjust the belt.
NOTE:
Over tightening of the belt can lead to a loss of speed on the machine and even stretch
the belt itself. One turn of the right screw (R) in a clockwise direction has the same effect on
the position of the belt as one turn of the left screw (L) in a counterclockwise direction.
Consequently, in the event of excessive belt movement you can use either of the two screws in
order to avoid over tightening the belt.
