LUBRICATION
PROCEDURE
Do not lubricate with other than approved lubricant. Your treadmill
comes with one tube of lubricant, and extra tubes can be ordered
directly from your authorized dealer. There are commercially available
lube kits, but the only one currently approved is Lube-N-Walk.
These kits come with an application wand that makes applying the
lubrication easier. The kits can be purchased directly from
Lube-N-Walk here: http://www.jadfitness.com/. The proper kit
should be silicon based, NOT paraffin wax.
Keeping the deck lubricated at the recommended intervals ensures the longest life possible for your
treadmill. If the lubricant dries out, the friction between the belt and deck rises and places undue stress
on the drive motor, drive belt and electronic motor control board, which could result in catastrophic failure
of these expensive components. Failure to lubricate the deck at regular intervals may void the warranty.
Use the Lubricant to lubricate the deck beneath the belt. If you can reach under the belt approximately 6"
on each side, use the following procedure: Unplug the electrical cord. At the middle of the deck, lift up on
the belt and reach under with the tube of lubricant. Squirt most of the lubricant on the deck surface. Repeat
the process on the opposite side. Plug the electrical cord back into the outlet and walk on the belt at a
moderate speed for five minutes.
If unable to perform the above procedure, it will be necessary to loosen the walking belt. Using the 6 mm
Allen wrench supplied, loosen the two rear roller adjustment bolts -- located in the rear end caps – enough
to get your hand under the belt (5 –10 turns). Make sure to loosen both bolts the same amount of turns
and also remember how many turns, because when finished, you will need to tighten the bolts back to the
point they were before.
Once the belt is loose, wipe the deck with a clean, lint-free cloth to remove any dirt. Apply the whole tube of
lubricant onto the deck surface about 45 cm (18 inches) from the motor cover. Squeeze out the contents of
the tube across the deck (parallel to the motor cover) in about a one-foot line, like toothpaste on a
toothbrush. The one-foot line should be in the middle of the deck at approximately equal distance from both
side edges of the belt. You want the lubricant to be applied about the spot that your feet would hit the belt
as you are walking. This should be about 18 inches from the motor cover, but you may want to walk on the
treadmill before loosening the belt to note where your feet land on the belt. If you mostly use the treadmill
for running, the spot where your feet land may be different from walking. Once the lubricant is applied,
tighten the rear roller bolts the same amount of turns as when you loosened them. Run the treadmill at
about 5 kmph (3 mph) without walking on it for about a minute or two to make sure the belt stays in the
middle of the deck. If the belt tracks to one side, then follow the belt tracking instructions to remedy. Now
the deck is lubricated, and you should walk, not run, on the treadmill immediately for at least 5 minutes to
ensure the lubricant is evenly distributed. If you purchase a silicone based Lube-N-Walk kit, follow the
instructions that come with it to apply the lubrication.
