SECTION 5
PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE
The running belt can shift to one side or simply ‘skid over’
when running. To center the belt using the 6mm Allen
wrench, run the machine at 3mph for a few minutes to
determine which side the belt is drifting towards; left or
right.
If the belt is drifting left
i) Turn the treadmill off and unplug from the machine
ii) Tighten the left bolt a ¼ turn (clockwise)
iii) Loosen the right bolt a ¼ turn (counterclockwise)
iv) Run the belt at 3 mph again for a few minutes
If the belt continues to drift to the left, repeat steps
If the belt is drifting right
i) Turn the treadmill off and unplug from the machine
ii) Tighten the right bolt a ¼ turn (clockwise)
iii) Loosen the left bolt a ¼ turn (counterclockwise)
iv) Run the belt at 3 mph again for a few minutes
If the belt continues to drift to the right, repeat steps
Once the running belt has been adjusted closer to the
center, the treadmill can be powered on again.
It is recommended that the deck be lubricated every
6~12 months according to the frequency of usage.
WARNING!
Do not use cleaner under the running belt.
i) Use 6mm Allen wrench to loosen the bolts in the
end caps. Remove excessive accumulations of dust,
dirt, and other substances from running deck. ONLY
use a clean soft cloth.
ii) Gently pull up the side of the running belt, and
dispense a thin layer of the lubricant on deck, and
spread evenly. DO NOT over lubricate
iii) Center the belt (top of this page), and tighten the
end caps.
Check belt condition and adjust if necessary referring
to the steps above.
4 Miles or less / hr = lube every 1 year
4~8 Miles / hr = lube every 6 months
8 Miles or more / hr = lube every 3 months
