bolt on the side of the treadmill toward which

closer to the center, the treadmill can be
started again.

loosen the bolts and end caps. Pull up the
Walking Belt, dispense the lubricant on the
deck and spread evenly. After lubricating the
deck, center the belt and check the belt
tension. If the belt happens to slip, follow the
above steps and lubricate the running deck.
