SYMPTOM: The upper body arms squeak during
use
a. (Note: Correcting this problem requires a small
amount of marine grease, available at hardware
stores.) Turn the resistance knob (A) counterclock-
wise and remove it. Next, remove the resistance
cone (B) and the upper body arm (C), along with
the resistance plate (D), plastic spacer (E), spring
washer (F), washers (G), and thrust bearing (H).
(Note: If the resistance plate comes out of the
resistance cone, press it back in.) Apply a thin
layer of white marine grease to the outer surface of
the resistance cone. Then reattach all parts in the
order shown below.
SYMPTOM: The walking belt slows when walked on
a.
Use only a surge suppressor that meets all of the
specifications described on page 15.
b. If the walking belt is overtightened, treadmill per-
formance may decrease and the walking belt may
become damaged.
Remove the key and
UNPLUG THE
POWER CORD.
Using the hex key, turn both
idler roller screws counterclockwise, 1/4 of a turn.
When the walking belt is properly tightened, you
should be able to lift each edge of the walking belt
2 to 3 in. (5 to 7 cm) off the walking platform. Be
careful to keep the walking belt centered. Then,
plug in the power cord, insert the key, and run the
treadmill for a few minutes. Repeat until the walk-
ing belt is properly tightened.
c. Your treadmill features a walking belt coated with
high-performance lubricant.
IMPORTANT: Never
apply silicone spray or other substances to
the walking belt or the walking platform unless
instructed to do so by an authorized service
representative. Such substances may deterio-
rate the walking belt and cause excessive wear.
If you suspect that the walking belt needs more
lubricant, see the front cover of this manual.
d. If the walking belt still slows when walked on, see
the front cover of this manual.
