Topic: Treadmill Walk Belt Lubrication and the Lubrication Prompt
Date: 2009-03-10
Overview: In late 2008, SportsArt added a prompt to remind people to lubricate
treadmill walk belts. This document explains what to do when the lubrication
prompt appears. It also explains walk belt lubrication as part of a treadmill
maintenance program.
Applies to treadmills with the lubrication prompt: T610, T620, T625, T630,
T650, T650M, T670, and T680
Lubrication Prompt
When total distance exceeds 4000 KM/2500 miles and the walk belt stops
moving, the message “SERVICE NEEDED- APPLY LUBE” appears on the
treadmill display.
Until total distance exceeds 4100 KM/2560 miles, the treadmill can be
operated normally. At over 4100 KM/2560 miles, the “SERVICE NEEDED-
APPLY LUBE” message will remain on the screen and the treadmill will not
operate until the following process is completed.
1. On T630, T650, T650M, T670, T680 treadmills, remove one end cap (left).
On T610, T620, T625 treadmills, remove one end cap and one landing strip
(right).

2. Simultaneously press and hold INCLINE ▲+ INCLINE ▼+ 0 keys for two
seconds. This activates the “lubrication mode.” The treadmill will operate at the
lowest speed. At this point, ▲and ▼command keys will not operate.
3. Insert the lubrication applicator tube so the line on the applicator tube
touches the edge of the walk belt.
4. Squeeze 50cc of HyperGlide™ lubricant out of the bottle and into the
applicator tube.
5. Hold the applicator tube in place for about two minutes while the walk belt
rotates slowly.
6. Remove the bottle of lubricant and the applicator tube. The message
“PLEASE PRESS THE STOP KEY AFTER FINISHING LUBRICATION”
appears. Press the STOP key to stop the walk belt and exit the lubrication
mode.

7. Secure the end cap on T630, T650, T650M, T670, T680 treadmills. On T610,
T620, T625 treadmills, secure the landing strip and the end cap. This
completes the lubrication procedure.
Lubricating When Not Prompted
The lubrication mode can be activated at any time through the following
procedure:
1. Turn on the treadmill power switch.
2. The startup banner will appear. Example: “SPORTSART-T650” scrolls
across the screen.
3. While the startup banner appears, simultaneously press and hold
INCLINE ▲+ INCLINE ▼+ 0 keys for two seconds.
The walk belt will operate at the lowest speed. Follow instructions above to
apply HyperGlide™ lubricant. When the message “PLEASE PRESS THE
STOP KEY AFTER FINISHING LUBRICATION” appears, press the STOP key.
Complete the lubrication process as explained above.
Lubrication Policy
SportsArt recommends lubricating treadmill walk belts every 4000 KM or 2500
miles, or whenever the bottom side of the walk belt feels dry.

Periodic Maintenance Tips
In addition to walk belt lubrication, periodic maintenance should be performed
regularly by a qualified service technician.* We recommend that the following
tasks be undertaken at least every 4000 KM or 2500 miles, or every six months,
whichever comes first.
1. Ensure proper power supply. Inspect the power supply, power cord,
on/off switch, etc.
2. Is the treadmill level? Adjust levelers if necessary.
3. Vacuum under the motor cover.
4. Secure all cable connections.
5. Inspect drive belt tightness. Adjust if necessary. Inspect drive belt for
wear. Replace it if necessary.
6. Inspect walk belt tightness. Adjust if necessary. Inspect walk belt for
wear. Replace it if necessary.
7. Wipe the deck clean with a clean, damp cloth. Inspect the deck for wear.
8. Lubricate the deck and walk belt.
9. Wipe entire unit with a clean, damp cloth.
10.Test unit operation. Replace parts if necessary.
* For safety, always disconnect the power source before removing unit covers.
