TO SET TREADBELT TRACKING:
A 6 mm Allen wrench is provided to adjust the rear roller. Make tracking adjustments from the left
and the
right side
.
Set belt speed at
approximately 2 to 3 mph. A small
adjustment can make a dramatic
difference. Turn the bolt only a 1/4 turn
and wait a few minutes for the belt to
adjust itself. Continue to make 1/4 turns
until the belt stabilizes in the center of the
running deck. The belt may require
periodic tracking adjustment depending
on use and walking/running
characteristics. Some users will affect
tracking differently. Expect to make
adjustments as required to center the treadbelt. Adjustments will become less of a maintenance
concern as the belt is used. Proper belt tracking is an owner responsibility common with all
treadmills.
ATTENTION: DAMAGE TO THE RUNNING BELT RESULTING FROM IMPROPER TRACKING / TENSION
ADJUSTMENTS IS NOT COVERED UNDER THE WARRANTY.
BELT / DECK LUBRICATION:
Do not lubricate with other than bodybreak approved lubricant. Your treadmill comes with one tube of
lubricant and extra tubes can be ordered directly from bodybreak. There are commercially available lube kits,
but the only one currently approved by bodybreak is Lube-N-Walk. These kits come with an application
wand that makes applying the lubrication easier. 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. 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.
