Belt Lubrication
Use only 100% silicone and avoid using aerosol silicone sprays which include
additives and petroleum distillates. One ounce of silicone should be used for each
application. LifeSpan offers 100% silicone lubricant that can be ordered at
www.LifeSpanFitness.com.
The running belt comes pre-lubricated from the factory and should be lubricated
every 3 months (regardless of use) or 50 hours of use, whichever comes first. Even
if the treadmill is not being used, the silicone will dissipate over time and the belt
will dry out.
Apply the silicone to the underside of the treadmill belt. Do not apply to the
walking surface. This may be accomplished by folding the treadmill up and
applying the silicone to the inside portion of the running belt or by leaving the
treadmill in the normal use position and simply lifting the belt up over the side
rails and applying the lubricant under the running belt onto the deck surface. The
silicone will absorb into the underside of the belt as you start walking.
NOTE:
When lubricating the belt, make sure the treadmill is on a
surface that can be easily cleaned. After lubricating your treadmill
running belt, clean any excess silicone off the walking surface of the
belt and side rails.
