Maintenance and Tips
Belt Lubrication
Use only 100% silicone and avoid using aerosol silicone sprays which include additives and petroleum
distillates. One ounce of silicone should be used for each application. LifeSpan offers 100% silicone
lubricant that can be ordered at www.LifeSpanFitness.com.
The walking belt should be lubricated with one fluid ounce every 50 hours of use or three months,
whichever comes first.
To lubricate, unplug your treadmill.
1. Power off your treadmill and unplug it from the power outlet.
2.
Starting toward the front (motor end) of your treadmill, slide your hand underneath the belt and create
separation between the deck and belt.
3.
Slide the lube tube as close to the center of the deck as possible.
4.
While gently applying controlled pressure to the squeeze bottle, apply approximately ½ oz (1/8 of
bottle) to the underside of belt. Apply as close to the middle of the belt as possible, since this is where
your feet make contact.
5. Move the belt with your hands or feet so that you apply a full ounce on the entire inner surface of the
belt.
6. Plug in treadmill, power it on, and run the belt without walking on it at 3 mph for 3 minutes to disperse
treadmill lubricant evenly.
Note:
When lubricating the belt, make sure
the treadmill is on a surface that can be
easily cleaned. After lubricating clean
any excess silicone off the walking
surface of the belt and side rails.
