. Remove the belt guides (if equipped) from the used side of the deck. Using the two previous screws
removed from each guide, re-install the belt guides on the new fresh deck surface. (Figure A)
2. The belt guide holes are pre-drilled. (Figure B) Use these holes to mount the belt guides onto the fresh
deck surface. Make sure belt guides are in front when reinstalling the deck. If the deck has already been
reversed, a new deck is required when replacing the treadbelt.
DO NOT FLIP THE DECK if you are replacing only the ABSORBERS.
IMPACT ABSORBERS should be checked for wear and damage when replacing the Treadbelt.
Replace if necessary.
1
. Using vice grips (locking pliers) lock them around the tip of the deck post. Turn the pliers
counterclockwise to remove the deck post. (Figure A)
2. Slide the deck post out of the impact absorber and load washer. (Figure B)
For L8 & L9 Machines - Slide the load washer and impact absorber off the deck post. Using vice grips, lock
them around the tip of the deck post. Turn them counterclockwise to remove the deck post. NOTE: The deck
post will not slide out of the nylon spacer. Both parts will come off at once when the deck post is
completely loose. You need to remove this assembly to lube the bottom of the nylon spacer (Refer to
“Lubricating VFX Components” for details.)

Proper lubrication is required to prevent unwanted
noise/squeaks from the suspension
components. Only use Lubriplate when replacing or servicing suspension components.
1. Use Lubriplate (white lithium) grease (Landice item #71061) and a small brush to apply the grease on
the deck post. Make sure the grease is applied to the entire deck post. (Figure A)
2. Apply the Lubriplate grease on the top of each absorber. (Figure B)
3. Place the end of the absorber without the grease to meet the other absorber with grease. Rub them
together. Repeat this step for the other side. (Figure C)
4. For L8/L9 Machines: place some Lubriplate grease on the bottom of each nylon spacer. (Figure D)
1.
Place all absorbers and load washers at both ends of each deck slat. (Figure A)
2. Slide the deck post through the load washer and impact absorber. (Figure B)
3. Tilt the deck post, load washer and impact absorber to align the deck post to the threads in the deck slat.
Thread the deck post by hand at first. (Figure C)
4. Use a pair of locking pliers, grip the tip of the deck post, angling the handle of the pliers upwards (Fig. D)
5. Turn the vice grips clockwise to secure the deck post down. Once the deck post is snug, give an
additional 1/4 turn to fully tighten.
6. For L8/L9 Machines: Thread the deck post by hand to get it started. Do not tighten to the point that the
post meets the slat. (Figure E)
7. Slide a nylon spacer on the post. Using a rubber mallet, tap it all the way down the post. (Figure F)
Using the locking pliers, tighten the deck post down completely.
8.
Install full set of absorbers. Reverse the steps show to re-install treadmill components.
Please Note: Absorbers must be
installed with the cupped side
facing up. If installed incorrectly,
the absorber may stick to the
deck slat and cause noise issues!

The drive belt tensioning nut is located underneath the motor pan, connecting the
J-hook to the motor bracket. Make sure the plastic washer is in place, prior to
tightening. When tightening the tension of the nut, it will pull down on the motor
bracket while tensioning the drive belt.
DO NOT OVER TIGHTEN!
The J-hook has a limiting nut (pictured). Tension the nut until there is
approximately ¼” of space from the bottom of the limit nut to the motor pan.
If there is no limit nut (older machines), tension until there is approximately 5/8”
from the top of thread to the motor pan.
If there is slippage, Landice recommends applying weight to the treadbelt and
tensioning a half turn at a time until there is no drive belt slippage.
The Treadbelt is tensioned using two
hex head adjustment bolts located at
rear of treadmill. Using your 9/16”
socket wrench, adjust bolts on both
sides of the roller clockwise the same
amount. Failure to turn them equally will
affect the treadbelt tracking. Before
tightening the treadbelt, assure that the
treadbelt tension is loose and not the
drive belt.
DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN THE
TREADBELT.
If the Treadbelt is tracking to the right:
Tighten the right bolt (clockwise), and loosen the left bolt (counter-clockwise).
If the Treadbelt is tracking to the left:
Tighten the left bolt (clockwise), and loosen the right bolt (counter-clockwise).
Do not adjust bolts more than ¼ turn at a time!
By tightening the bolt on the side the belt is tracking closest to and loosening the opposite side by the same
amount, you change the alignment of the rear roller without changing overall tension.
Adjustments should be made with treadmill running, and should be made in 1/4-turn increments. Allow at least
30 seconds for treadbelt to stabilize between each adjustment. Perform the adjustments at slower speeds (2-3
mph) until you are comfortable making adjustments.
