6. Care & Maintenance
Care & Maintenance
It is important to perform the minor maintenance tasks described in this section. Failure to maintain the Walking Surface as
described here could void the Warranty. To reduce the risk of electrical shock, always unplug the unit from its power source
before cleaning or performing any maintenance tasks.
Maintenance Schedule:
1. Inspect walking surface upon each use for wear and tear, and soiled surface.
2. Lubricate the walking belt annually
3. Adjust belt tension only if required.
Cleaning the Equipment:
MOBILITY RESEARCH recommends the walking surface be cleaned before and after each workout. Use mild soap and
water to dampen a soft cloth and wipe all exposed surfaces. This helps remove any dust or dirt.
CAUTION: Do not use any acidic cleaners. Doing so will weaken the paint or powder coatings and may void the Warranty.
Never pour water or spray liquids on any part of the device. Allow the walking surface to dry completely before using.
Frequently vacuum the oor underneath the unit to prevent the accumulation of dust and dirt, which can affect the smooth
operation of the unit.
When cleaning the exterior of the unit, a non-abrasive cleaner and soft cotton cloth are strongly recommended. At no time
should cleaner be applied directly to any part of the equipment; use nonabrasive cleaner of soft cloth and then wipe the
unit.
Adjustment of Walking Surface Belt tension/Alignment.
The walking belt may require minor adjustment as a result from shipping or extended use. To adjust the tension/alignment of the walking
surface belt insert the provided allen key (previous versions use a Phillips head screw driver) and ghten/loosen the belt alignment screws
on the front face of the walking surface as show in pictures below.
To increase/decrease belt tension ghten/loosen both alignment screws evenly.
To adjust belt alignment, ghten/loosen the adjustment screw to cause the belt to move away from/towards the screw. Tightening the
Long Term Storage:
When the treadmill is not in use for any length of me, ensure the power cord is unplugged from the power source and posion the power
and data cords so that they will not become damaged or interfere with people or other equipment.
Tighten le screw to move belt from le toward center. Tighten right screw to move from right toward center.

Problem: Treadmill belt slips when walking on it
Solution: Tighten the belt using the instructions below:
Set the treadmill at and tension and align the belt according to the following procedures:
1. Connect power and pendant controller to treadmill. Then connect magnetic key.
2. Keeping the belt centered on both rollers, use a Phillips screwdriver to tighten the tensioning screws evenly until you
can no longer easily see the slots in the channels behind the ends of the rollers.
3. Turn on the treadmill, starting at its slowest speed, and make sure everything is running smoothly with no out-of-the-
ordinary noises. If the belt quickly runs to one side, tighten the tensioning screw on that side until the belt slowly
centers.
4. Use one foot to apply all your weight to the belt. If the belt sticks to the deck and stops moving, tighten each tensioning
screw in 1/2-turn increments the same amount. Then, retest.
5. When the belt stops sticking from one foot pressure, speed the treadmill up to 1 mph (9 presses of the speed up
command).
6. Walk heavily on the treadmill. If the belt sticks, tighten each tensioning screw 1/2 turn and repeat.
7. When properly tensioned, look at how the edge of the belt is running relative to the trim ledge. If it is angling toward
the right at the front of the treadmill, loosen the tensioning screw on the right 1/2 turn. Using either the screwdriver or
the 3/16" Allen wrench, tighten the alignment screw on the front right and of the roller 1/2 turn. Check again and
repeat if necessary.
