General maintenance
Belt andDeck
-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
towipe the edge ofthe belt and the area between the belt edge and frame.Also reach asfaras
practical directly under the belt edge.This should be done once every other month to extend
belt and deck life. Use water only - no cleaners or abrasives.Amild soap and water solution
along with a nylon scrub brush will clean the top ofthe textured belt.
Allowthe belt to dry
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. Ona monthly basis: vacuum underneath your treadmill toprevent buildup. Every other
month, you should remove the black motor hood and carefully vacuum out dirt thatmay
accumulate.

BeltAdjustments
Tread-belttensionadjustment - Belt tension is not critical formostusers. Itis very important
though forjoggers and runners in order toprovide a smooth, steady running surface.Adjust-
ment mustbe made from the rear roller with the 6mmAllen wrench provided in the parts
package.The adjustment bolts are located atthe end ofthe step rails as shown in the dia-
gram below.
Tightenthe rear roller only enough toprevent
slippage atthe frontroller.Turnthe tread-belt
tension adjusting bolts 1/4 turn each and inspect
forproper tension by walking on the belt and
making sure it is not slipping or hesitating with
each step.When an adjustment is made tothe belt
tension, you mustbe sure toturn the bolts on
both sides evenly or the belt could starttracking to
one side instead ofrunning in the middle ofthe deck.
DO NOTOVERTIGHTEN
– Overtightening will cause belt damage and premature bearing
failure. Ifyou tighten the belt a lot and it still slips, the problem could actually be the drive belt
- located under the motor cover - thatconnects the motor tothe frontroller.Ifthatbelt is loose it
feels similar tothe walking belt being loose.Tighteningthe motor belt should be done by a
trained service person.
