CLEANING CONSOLE AND DISPLAY
It is recommended that you clean the console and screen before and after each workout.
Wipe all exposed surfaces with a soft cloth with 30 parts of water to 1 part of SimpleGreen (R) (go to simiplegreen.com for
more information)
Cleaning the LCD Screen: It is recommended that you dilute 1 part 91% isopropyl alcohol solution in one part water.
Be sure to follow the solvent manufacturer’s precautions and direction when using any solvent.
TRACKING
The treadbelt is tracked by means of the two 9/16” hex head bolts at the back end of the treadmill. Tightening (clockwise) the
adjustment bolt on the side of the machine that the belt has moved towards and loosening the bolt on the opposite side an
equal amount, will cause the belt to move towards the center. Adjustments should be made with the treadmill running and in
¼-turn increments. Allow at least 30 seconds for the belt to stabilize between each adjustment. Run the belt at high speed
(6-8) mph). To ensure proper belt tracking and alignment, the treadmill must be placed on a stable and level surface.
A yellow warning label will show at the rear of the treadmill when the treadbelt is not tracked correctly (L8 and L9 only).
TREADBELT TENSIONING
(pre-set from factory, but may need adjustment during installation)
Need for tension is indicated by uneven belt speed and may be sensed by sudden stopping of the treadbelt when your foot
comes down on the belt. To check belt tension, run treadmill at 1 mph. Then, walk on machine. If the belt does not feel like is
slipping/hesitating, then the belt is tensioned correctly. If the belt slips/hesitates, then it is not fully tensioned. The same hex
head bolts used for tracking also tension the treadbelt. To tighten the treadbelt, turn both bolts clockwise exactly the same
amount ¼-turn at a time. Failure to turn them equally will affect belt tracking. DO NOT OVER-TIGHTEN. Continue checking
for treadbelt slipping. Once treadbelt is fully tensioned, speed up treadmill to 5 mph. Then, while jogging lightly, check for any
sudden slipping/hesitating of the treadbelt. Repeat treadbelt tensioning if required.
MOTOR DRIVE BELT TENSIONING
(pre-set from factory)
The drive belt is tensioned by a nut located under the motor pan. This nut is screwed to a hook, which is attached to the
motor bracket. By turning the nut clockwise, you will tighten the nut pulling down the motor bracket, which will tighten the
drive belt. DO NOT OVER-TIGHTEN. If you over-tighten this belt you will snap the motor shaft. To measure the tension,
twist the drive belt between the motor and the drive roller. The ideal tension will allow you to twist the drive belt 45°. If you
can twist the belt past 45°, it is too loose. If you cannot twist the belt to at least 45°, it is too tight.
TREADMILL LUBRICATION & CLEANING
It is recommended that you vacuum around and underneath the treadmill on a monthly basis. Your treadmill will last longer
and look better if you wipe the sweat off the unit after each workout.
Lubrication is not required on residential treadmills. In institutional setting Landice recommends lubricating the underside of
the treadbelt with Landice SlipCoat on a monthly basis (see SLIPCOAT APPLICATION INSTRUCTIONS sheet in Lubrication
Kit Box).
MOTOR BRUSHES
Motor brushes should be checked every six months on institutional treadmills and after six years on home units.
Service Check-List
• Tension and track treadbelt
• Lubricate belt and vacuum treadmill
• Check drive belt tension
• Check motor brushes
Treadmill Maintenance
WARNING:
Moving parts can cause serious damage.
Be sure to unplug treadmill before placing hands underneath the treadbelt!!!
DANGER:
Lethal voltages and moving parts capable of causing serious injury are
exposed when the drive housing cover is removed. Under no circumstances should the motor cover
be removed except by a Landice factory-authorized technician.
