GENERAL
MAINTENANCE
BELT & DECK
Your treadmill uses a very high-efficient low-friction deck. Performance is maximized when the
deck is kept as clean as possible. Use a soft, damp cloth or paper towel to wipe the edge of the
belt and the area between the belt edge and frame. Also, reach as far as practical directly under
the belt edge. This should be done once a month to extend belt and deck life. Use water only -
no cleaners or abrasives. A mild soap and water solution along with a nylon scrub brush will
clean the top of the textured belt. Allow drying before using.
BELT DUST
This occurs during normal break-in or until the belt stabilizes. Wiping excess off with a damp
cloth will minimize buildup.
GENERAL CLEANING
Dirt, dust, and pet hair can block air inlets and accumulate on the running belt. On a monthly
basis, vacuum underneath your treadmill to prevent buildup. Once a year, you should remove
the black motor hood and vacuum out dirt that may accumulate. UNPLUG POWER CORD
BEFORE THIS TASK.
BELT ADJUSTMENTS
Tread-belt Tension Adjustment - Belt tension is not critical for most users. It is very important for
joggers and runners in order to provide a smooth, steady running surface. Adjustment must be
made from the right side of the rear roller in order to adjust tension with the 6 mm Allen wrench
provided in the parts package. The adjustment bolt is located at the end of the right side rail, as
noted in diagram below.
Tighten the rear roller only enough to prevent slippage at the front roller. Turn the tread-belt
tension adjusting bolt in increments of 1/4 turn and inspect for proper tension.
When an
adjustment is made to the belt tension, you must also make a tracking adjustment to
compensate for the change in belt tension.
This is accomplished by turning both the tension
and tracking Allen bolts an equal amount. This adjustment should be made by turning both bolts
clockwise by no more than a 1/4 turn at a time.
DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN
– Over tightening will cause belt damage and premature bearing
failure.
Note: Adjustment is through small hole in end
