With the appropriate sized Allen wrench, loosen the rear roller bolts on both the left and right
side. It is a good idea to note the position of the roller to reassemble properly. For best
results, place two removable marks on the left and right side of the deck and the running belt.
When reinstalling, match up the marks for proper tension. It is not necessary to take off the
roller, just loosen it enough so that you can fit your hands underneath the belt comfortably.
Pharaphin Wax Application
Once the belt is loosened, take a small amount of wax (less than a tablespoon) and place it in
your hand. It is easiest to smear this small amount on the underside of the treadmill belt.
Excessive amounts of wax will build up on the rollers and cause a loud thumping noise.
After a light coat has been applied to the entire underside of the belt, the roller can be
tightened to the proper position. It is important to walk on the treadmill to properly impregnate
the running belt with the pharaphin wax to ensure that the wax does not accumulate on the
rollers.
Note – Only use the wax provided by Horizon Fitness. Do not try to apply other
manufacture’s wax to a Horizon Fitness deck.
Silicon Oil Application
Once the belt is loosened, take a small amount of silicon oil (20 cc squeeze bottle provided by
Horizon Fitness) and apply it to the entire top surface of the running deck.
After the silicon oil has been applied to the top surface of the running deck, the roller can be
tightened to the proper position. With a damp cloth, wipe off any excessive silicon oil that may
have seeped out from underneath the running belt
Note – Only use the lubrication provided by Horizon Fitness. Do not try to apply other
manufacture’s lubrication to a Horizon Fitness deck.
