GENERAL MAINTENANCE
Belt and Bed
- Your treadmill uses a very high-efficient low-friction bed. Performance is maximized
when the bed is kept as clean as possible. Use a soft, damp cloth or paper towel to wipe the edge
of the belt and the area between the belt edge and frame. Also reach as far as practical directly
under the belt edge. This should be done once a month to extend belt and bed life. Use water only -
no cleaners or abrasives. A mild soap and water solution along with a nylon scrub brush will clean
the top of the textured belt.
Allow the belt to dry before using.
Belt Dust
- This occurs during normal break-in or until the belt stabilizes. Wiping excess off with a
damp cloth will minimize buildup.
General Cleaning
- Dirt, dust, and pet hair can block air inlets and accumulate on the running belt.
On a monthly basis: vacuum underneath your treadmill to prevent buildup. Once a year, you should
remove the black motor hood and vacuum out dirt that may accumulate. UNPLUG POWER CORD
BEFORE THIS TASK.
BELT ADJUSTMENTS:
Tread-belt Tension Adjustment
- Adjustment must be made from the rear roller. The adjustment
bolts are located at the end of the step rails in the end caps, as noted in diagram below.
Tighten the rear roller bolts only enough to prevent slippage at the front roller. Turn both tread-belt
tension adjustment bolts in increments of 1/4 turn each and inspect for proper tension by walking
on the belt at a low speed, making sure the belt does not slip. Keep tensioning the bolts until the
belt stops slipping.
•
If you feel the belt is tight enough, but it still slips, the problem may be a loose Motor
drive belt under the front cover.
DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN
– Over tightening will cause belt damage and premature bearing failure.
Note:
Adjustment is through small hole in the end cap.
