Start by ensuring your walking pad is switched off and safely unplugged from the wall to prevent any
accidents during the maintenance process.
Step 2: Access the Deck
You'll need access to the walking pad running deck, the smooth surface beneath the running belt. If the
belt is too tight to lift, you may need to loosen the rollers. To loosen the rollers, grab the Allen Key
provided with the product. Insert the Allen Key in the roller bolts located at the back of the product, on
each side. Loosen the roller bolts by COMPLETE anticlockwise turns and keep count of how many were
needed. Loosen each side with the same amount of turns. Once you have some slack, you're ready to
lubricate the deck.
Note: Keeping track of how many turns were done on the roller bolts is crucial to re-adjust the
walking pad after lubrication. If not done properly, you may need to adjust the belt, which is a
more complicated process.

adjustment process to put back into place.
Step 5: Reconnect and Test
Plug the walking pad back in and power it on. Walk on the walking pad at a speed of 3 to 5 km/h for
approximately five minutes. This will allow the oil to distribute evenly across the deck surface, ensuring
a smoother and safer workout experience. To ensure the belt is properly lubricated, power off the
walking pad and slip your fingers underneath the belt. If it feels slick, it means the lubrication was done
properly. If it’s dry, you might need to restart the process.
Step 6: Cleaning up
Wipe any lubricant that has leaked from the running belt. The lubricant might have leaked on the
walking pad or on the floor underneath. Cleaning up ensures that no surface other than the belt is
slippery. Walking pad lubricant can also stain different materials, so please be mindful of leaks.
By following these steps, you can effectively lubricate the running deck of your walking pad, prolong-
ing its life and maintaining its performance. Always follow this guide when lubricating your walking
pad. You may also contact Ascend’s customer service for additional assistance.
