BELT/DECK LUBRICATION PROCEDURE
First, you want to clean between the belt and deck to remove any debris that may be trapped. Use a clean,
non-fraying rag, t-shirt, or light towel. Halfway between the end of the treadmill and motor cover, shove the
garment under the belt until you can grasp it on both sides of the belt. Drag the garment the length of the
entire belt 1-2 times. Remove the garment.
Do not lubricate with anything other than FUEL Fitness approved lubricant.
YOUR TREADMILL
COMES WITH ONE TUBE OF “LUBE” AND EXTRA TUBES CAN BE ORDERED
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 belt & deck come pre-lubricated and subsequent lubrication should be performed every 90 hours of
use or if you notice that the deck is dry. It is recommended that you reach be-tween the belt and deck to
verify there is lubrication present, every other month. If you check and there isn’t any lubrication present,
follow the procedure below even though the “Lube” indicator isn’t lit on the console. Otherwise, lubricate
when the console’s lubrication reminder lights after 90 hours of use. Use the following procedure to apply
the silicone lubricant:
1. Turn the power switch off and unplug the power cord from the wall outlet.
2. Measure 18” from the edge of the motor cover; kneel down and reach under the belt approximately
4-6” from one edge. Squirt a line of lubricant about 1/8” wide x 15” long in an “S” pattern
perpendicular to the motor cover.
3. Repeat the process on the opposite side.
4. Plug the electrical cord back into the outlet and turn the power switch on.
5. Walk on the belt at a moderate speed for five minutes to evenly distribute the silicone lube.
Note: If the “Lube” message appears on the console, perform the following procedure to
reset the message:
1. In standby mode, hold the ENTER key for 3 seconds to reset the message.
