BELT / DECK LUBRICATION: 

 
Do not lubricate with other than Xterra approved lubricant. Your treadmill comes with one tube of 
lubricant and extra tubes can be ordered directly from Xterra. There are commercially available 
lube kits, but the only one currently approved by Xterra is Lube-N-Walk. These kits come with an 
application wand that makes applying the lubrication easier. The kits can be purchased from 
Xterra or directly from Lube-N-Walk here:

 When ordering make sure to 

specify silicone lubricating kit, not paraffin wax. 
 
Keeping the deck lubricated at the recommended intervals ensures the longest life possible for 
your treadmill. If the lubricant dries out, the friction between the belt and deck rises and places 
undue stress on the drive motor, drive belt and electronic motor control board, which could result 
in catastrophic failure of these expensive components. Failure to lubricate the deck at regular 
intervals may void the warranty.   
 
The deck comes pre-lubricated and subsequent lubrication should be performed every 180 hours 
of use. The console has a built in lubrication reminder indicator that lights every 180 hours of use. 
To lubricate the deck with the tube of lubricant supplied it will be necessary to loosen the walking 
belt. Using the 6 mm allen wrench supplied, loosen the two rear roller adjustment bolts -- located 
in the rear end caps – enough to get your hand under the belt (5 –10 turns). Make sure to loosen 
both bolts the same amount of turns and also remember how many turns, because when finished 
you will need to tighten the bolts back to the point they were before.   
 
Once the belt is loose, wipe the deck with a clean lint free cloth to remove any dirt. Apply the 
whole tube of lubricant onto the deck surface about 18 inches from the motor cover. Squeeze out 
the contents of the tube across the deck (parallel to the motor cover) in about a one-foot long line, 
like toothpaste on a toothbrush. The one-foot line should be in the middle of the deck at 
approximately equal distance from both side edges of the belt. You want the lubricant to be 
applied about the spot that your feet would hit the belt as you are walking. This should be about 
18 inches from the motor cover, but you may want to walk on the treadmill before loosening the 
belt to note where your feet land on the belt. If you mostly run on the treadmill, the spot where 
your feet land may be different from walking.   
 
Once the lubricant is applied, tighten the rear roller bolts the same amount of turns as when you 
loosened them. Run the treadmill at about 6 mph without walking on it for about a minute or two 
to make sure the belt stays in the middle of the deck. If the belt tracks to one side then follow the 
belt tracking instructions to remedy. Now the deck is lubricated and you should walk, not run, on 
the treadmill immediately for at least 5 minutes to ensure the lubricant is evenly distributed. If you 
purchase a Lube-N-Walk kit, follow the instructions that come with it to apply the lubrication.
