BELT/DECK
LUBRICATION
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.
Only lubricate your treadmill with 100% silicone treadmill lubricant. Your treadmill comes with one
tube of “Lube” and extra tubes can be ordered directly from Dyaco Canada Inc. or your authorized Sole
Fitness dealer. You may also use a Lube‐n‐Walk kit that can be purchased through both
aforementioned sellers.
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 between 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.
