6. Maintenance
-
Lubrication
Regular lubrication of the running belt is essential for smooth operation and longevity. Locate the oil drip hole on the side of the treadmill deck. Apply a small amount of the provided silicone oil into the hole. The frequency of lubrication depends on usage, typically every few months for moderate use. Refer to the full manual for detailed instructions.
Regularly lubricate the running belt via the oil drip hole. -
Cleaning
After each use, wipe down the treadmill's console and frame with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents. Keep the running belt free of dust, dirt, and debris to prevent wear and tear.
-
Running Belt Adjustment
The FT52 treadmill features a precision 3.0 oil tube roller with a 3° taper on both ends, designed for automatic belt centering. If you notice the running belt consistently drifting to one side or experiencing excessive friction, consult the comprehensive user manual for instructions on manual belt tension and alignment adjustments.

Treadmill Not Starting
Ensure the power cord is securely plugged into a working outlet and the treadmill. Verify that the main power switch is in the 'ON' position. Crucially, check that the safety key is properly inserted into the console and clipped to your clothing.

Unusual Noises During Operation
Check for any loose screws or components. Ensure the treadmill is on a level surface. If the noise persists, it might indicate a need for belt lubrication or adjustment. Refer to the maintenance section or the full user manual.

Running Belt Slipping or Sticking
This often indicates insufficient lubrication or incorrect belt tension. Apply silicone oil as per the maintenance instructions. If the issue continues, the belt tension may need adjustment. Consult the detailed manual for specific steps.
