GENERAL MAINTENANCE
MAINTENANCE OF RUNNING BELT/DECK:
Your treadmill uses a very high-efficient and proprietary belt/deck combination. Performance is
maximized when the deck is kept as clean as possible. Use a soft, damp cloth, or paper towel, wipe
the edge of the belt and the area between the belt edge and the 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. A mild
soap and water solution along with a nylon scrub brush will clean the top of the textured belt. Allow to
dry before using. The low maintenance (routine monthly cleaning), dual sided deck is designed to
withstand up to 4,000 hrs on each side. If the original side of the deck use is over 4000 hrs, then it
needs to be flipped. Contact your service technician for assistance. Do not apply any type of lubricant
or wax to the surface.
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 month, 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
- Adjustment must be made from the rear roller. The adjustment
bolts are located at the end of the step rails in the end caps, as noted in diagram below.
Tighten the rear roller bolts only enough to prevent slippage at the front roller. Turn both tread-belt
tension adjustment bolts in increments of 1/4 turn each and inspect for proper tension by walking on
the belt at a low speed, making sure the belt does not slip. When an adjustment is made to the belt
tension, you must be sure to turn the bolts on both sides evenly or the belt could start tracking to one
side instead of running in the middle of the deck.
DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN
– Over tightening will cause belt damage and premature bearing failure. If
you feel the belt is tight enough, but it still slips, the problem may be a loose Motor drive belt under the
front cover.
Note:
Adjustment is through small hole in the end cap.
