TREADBELT LUBRICATION Application
Step 1:
Perform push off test
Enter calibration mode by removing the red magnetic safety key. Then press and hold the UP and DOWN
buttons while inserting the safety key.
WARNING: DO NOT PRESS START. Pressing START begins calibration and initiates movement of treadmill belt
and incline. Keep hands and loose articles of clothing away from belt while belt is moving.
WARNING: DO NOT STEP ON TREADMILL BELT DURING CALIBRATION. Calibration initiates movement of
treadmill belt and incline. The speed and incline both increases to maximum values during calibration. Due
to the high spends and steep incline, stepping on belt during calibration may result in injury.
Once in calibration mode elevate to the highest elevation
‐
speed should be set to 0. Stand on the tread belt
positioning yourself close to the console; push off with moderate force. The elevation combined with your
weight and the force of the push should cause the belt to carry you at least ¾ of the way to the end of the
machine
.
If the test does not carry you at least ¾ of the way to the end of the machine, lubricate the belt using
the manufactured recommended lubricant. To exit calibration mode remove magnetic safety key. Please
contact MOBILITY RESEARCH Technical support for additional information regarding the treadmill lubricant.
Step 2:
Preparing the Treadmill
Unplug treadmill from the wall. The deck and underside of the walk belt should be clean and free from any
foreign matter. Use a clean cloth towel to remove debris from deck and underside of the walk belt.
Step 3:
Apply Silicone to treadmill
Cut the corner of the single application lube packet and apply it to deck surface. Expose deck surface by lifting
the edge of the running belt. Generously apply the silicone lubricant to the deck surface, spread evenly to cover
surface. Repeat from the other side to insure coverage to the center of the deck. Plug the power cord into the
wall outlet and power up the unit. Walk on the treadmill at low speed to spread the lubricant evenly through
the belt and deck. Machine is now ready for use.
