LIFESPAN EQUALIZER XL Page 14
EVERY 6 MONTHS
It may be necessary to lubricate your treadmill running deck at least once every six months to maintain
optimal performance of your treadmill (refer to section 4.4 for information). Only use lubricant provided by
Lifespan Fitness! Please contact Lifespan Fitness with questions about applying lubricant to your treadmill.
•Turn off the treadmill with the on/off switch, then unplug the power cord at the wall outlet.
•Loosen both the rear roller bolts. (For best results, place two removable marks on both sides of the frame
and note roller position).Once the belt is loosened, take the bottle of lubricant and apply it to the entire top
surface of the running deck. Tighten both rear roller bolts (matching up the marks for proper position) to
original position. After you have applied lubricant, plug in the power cord, key, start the treadmill and walk
on the belt for two minutes to spread the lubricant.
•Lubricate the air shocks with Teflon based spray.
EVERY 2 YEARS
It is necessary that you change your treadmill motor brushes once every 2 years to avoid damaging your

LIFESPAN EQUALIZER XL Page 15
Always replace the mat if worn and any other defective parts.
If in doubt do not use the treadmill and contact our helpline.
TAKE CARE TO PROTECT CARPETS AND FLOOR in case of leakages. This product is a
machine that contains moving parts which have been greased / lubricated and could leak.
4.4 Belt/Deck/Roller Lubrication:
The mat/deck friction may play a major role in the function and life of your treadmill and
that is why we recommend you constantly lubricate this friction point to prolong the useful
life of your treadmill.
Lubrication is provided with this unit. You should apply the enclosed lubrication after
approximately the first 50 hours of operation. We recommend lubrication of the deck
according to the following timetable:
Light use (less that 3 hours per week) every 6 months
Medium use (3-5 hours a week) every 3 months
Heavy use (more than 5 hours per week) every 6-8 weeks.
See below procedures for lubricating:
1. Use a soft, dry cloth to wipe the area between the belt and deck.
2. Spread lubricant onto the inside surface of belt and deck evenly (make sure the
machine is turned off and power is disconnected).
3. Periodically lubricate the front and rear rollers to keep them at their peak performance.
If the treadmill belt/deck/roller is kept reasonably clean it is possible to expect over 1200
hours before additional re-lubing is necessary.
4.5 How to check the running mat for proper lubrication:
1. Disconnect the main power supply.
2. Fold the treadmill up into the storage position.
3. Feel the back surface of the running mat.
If the surface is slick when touched, then no further lubrication is needed.

LIFESPAN EQUALIZER XL Page 16
If the surface is dry when touched, apply a suitable silicone lubricant.
We recommend you use a silicone based spray to lubricate your Lifespan
Treadmill. This Can be purchased from your local sports Retailer or a local
hardware store.
4.6 Belt Adjustment
Belt Tension Adjustment-It is very important for joggers and runners in order to
provide a smooth, steady running surface. Adjustment must be made from the right and
left rear roller in order to adjust tension with the Allen Key provided in the parts package.
The adjustment bolt is located at the end of the rails as noted in diagram below:
Note: Adjustment is thru small hold of end cap.
Tighten the rear roller only enough to prevent slippage at the front roller. Turn both the
right and left bolt clockwise one full turn and inspect for proper tension. When an
adjustment is made to the belt tension, you must also make a tracking adjustment to
compensate for the change in belt tension.
DO NOT OVER TIGHTEN - Over tighten will cause belt damage and premature bearing
failure. This may also reduce motor performance and cause excessive roller wear.
NOTE: When properly tightened, the sides of belt can be raised approximate 2-3 inches off
the board.

LIFESPAN EQUALIZER XL Page 17
4.7 Belt Tracking Adjustment:
This treadmill is designed to keep the belt reasonably centred while in use. It is normally
for some belts to drift near one side while the belt is running with no one on it. After a
few minutes of use, the belt should have a tendency to centre itself. If during use, the
belt continues to move toward one side, adjustments are necessary. The procedures are
as below:
▲First set speed at approximately 3.5km/h.
▲Second check the belt shifts to which side.
If the belt shifts to right, tighten the right bolt and loosen the left bolt by using
6mm Allen Key, until the belt is centered itself; If belt shifts to left, tighten the left bolt
and loosen the right bolt by using 6mm Allen Key, until the belt is centered. When
adjusting the belt using the 6 mm Allen Key, it is important to adjust the belt in half turn
increments. Over adjusting will cause damage to the mat.
If the belts has drifted to the RIGHT If the belts has drifted to the LEFT
