Belt
Adjustment
After
the
treadmill
has
run
for
a
few
hours
the
belt
may
stretch
or
pull
to
one
side
of
the
drive
shaft
and
need
adjustment.
This
can
be
done
by
using
the
Allen
wrench
supplied
and
turning
the
appropriate
adjustment
until
the
belt
runs
smoothly
in
the
middle
of
both
shafts.
The
adjustments
should
be
done
in
small
increments
with
a
few
minutes
between
each
adjustment,
as
it
takes
a
few
minutes
for
the
belt
to
reach
its
new
tracking
after
each
adjustment.
If
the
belt
seems
to
be
pushed
to
one
side
of
the
pulley,
it
is
that
side
that
should
be
tightened
by
turning
the
screw
clockwise.

Removal
of
Shocker
Assembly
The
shocker
assembly
may
be
removed
for

Disconnect
the
cable
that
connects
the
shocker
assembly
to
the
controller.
There
are
two
latches
located
on
the
top
and
bottom
of
the
shocker
assembly.
Release
both
latches.
The
shocker
assembly
can
now
be
removed
by
pulling
the
assembly
out
and
away
from
the
treadmill.
7.2
Cleaning
With
the
shocker
assembly
and
lid
removed,
take
the
support
bar
for
angle
adjustment
out
and
the
lane
will
drop
down
to
the
table.
Place
a
bucket
under
the
front
of
the
lane
for
waste
collection.
The
inside
of
the
exerciser
can
now
be
cleaned
with
a
mild
detergent
solution
and
water.
When
cleaning
the
lids
used
with
metabolic
measurements,
be
sure
not
to
expose
the
fan
to
any
water
or
detergent.
7.3
Lubrication
No
part
should
need
lubrication
for
the
life
of
the
treadmill.
7.4
Motor
Brush
and
Commutator
Care
This
type
of
motor
is
designed
to
provide
approximately
5000
hours
of
brush
life.
Periodic
inspection
of
both
motor
brushes
should
be
made
to
determine
brush
wear.
A
brush
wear
indicator
mark
on
the
brush
has
been
incorporated
on
all
brushes
to
indicate
the
maximum
allowable
brush
wear.
When
brush
wear
reaches
the
indicator
mark
brushes
must
be
replaced
by
reordering
through
Columbus
Instruments.
After
two
brush
changes,
consult
a
competent
motor
repair
station
for
possible
commutator
refinishing
.
