CARE & MAINTENANCE
The following section describes necessary maintenance for your PaceMaster treadmill. This maintenance is the responsibility of the
purchaser and is not covered under our warranty. Failure to perform this necessary maintenance could result in damage to your treadmill.
CAUTION: Unplug your treadmill before attempting any cleaning or maintenance.
Deck and Tread Belt Cleaning
The running belt on your PaceMaster rides on a low friction,
maintenance-free
deck. Proper operation will be jeopardized if any water,
dirt, solvents, fluids or abrasive materials come between the tread belt and the deck. For this reason, extra care must be used in keeping
the belt clean. Use a soft, damp cloth to remove dust, dirt and other substances from the area between the belt and the side of the
machine. Do not clean the tread belt by turning on the treadmill.
Lubrication
The motor and roller bearings are sealed for maintenance free operation and require no lubrication. The deck and tread belt are lubricated
at the factory and are also maintenance free. Any attempt to lubricate underneath the running belt could result in damage.
The side rails are made of steel. By occasionally applying a coat of automotive wax to them will help prevent rusting.
Centering the Tread Belt
To improve belt life, the belt should be reasonably centered. To center the belt, walk on the treadmill at 2.5 mph for a few minutes.
Determine whether the belt drifts too far to the left or right side. If adjustments are required, stop the treadmill and follow the steps listed
below. Never make adjustments while the tread belt is moving.
TIP:
If the tread belt is reasonably centered (no closer than 1/8” to the left or right deck shroud) no adjustments are necessary.
Unnecessary adjustments can result in premature belt wear.
CAUTION: Unplug your treadmill before attempting any cleaning or maintenance.
Step One:
(figure 6)
If the belt is drifting to the left, using a 3/16” Hex wrench, turn the left-hand
adjustment bolt (1) a quarter turn clockwise and the right-hand adjustment
bolt (2) a quarter turn counter-clockwise.
If the belt is drifting to the right, using a 3/16” Hex wrench, turn the right-hand
adjustment bolt (2) a quarter turn clockwise and the left-hand adjustment
bolt (1) a quarter turn counter-clockwise.
Step Two:
Walk on the belt for 1 minute, observing belt tracking. If the belt moves to one
side, repeat step 1.
