4.4 Bluetooth Speaker

5. Maintenance

Regular maintenance is crucial for the longevity and performance of your treadmill.

5.1 Lubrication

Apply silicone oil to the running belt every 1-3 months, depending on usage. Lift the edge of the belt and apply a small amount of lubricant to the center of the running deck. Run the treadmill at a low speed for a few minutes to distribute the oil evenly.

5.2 Belt Tension and Alignment

If the running belt feels loose or shifts to one side, it may need adjustment. Use the provided hex wrench to adjust the tension bolts at the rear of the treadmill. Turn the bolts in small increments (quarter turns) and test the belt until it is centered and properly tensioned. Avoid over-tightening.

5.3 Cleaning

Wipe down the treadmill's surfaces with a damp cloth after each use. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents. Regularly vacuum around the treadmill to prevent dust and debris from entering the motor area.

5.4 Storage

Thanks to its foldable design and built-in transport wheels, the treadmill can be easily moved and stored. Fold the handlebar down and use the wheels to roll it under a bed, sofa, or into a closet.

6. Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your treadmill, refer to the following common problems and solutions:

• Treadmill Not Starting:
  • Ensure the power cord is securely plugged in and the power switch is ON.
  • Check if the safety key is properly placed on the console. The treadmill will not start without it.
  • Verify the remote control batteries are functional.
• Belt Slipping or Sticking:
  • Apply silicone lubricant as per the Maintenance section.
  • Adjust belt tension. If too loose, it may slip; if too tight, it may cause friction.
• Belt Drifting to One Side:
  • Adjust belt alignment using the rear tension bolts. Turn the bolt on the side the belt is drifting towards clockwise, and the opposite bolt counter-clockwise, in small increments until centered.
• Unusual Noises:
  • Check for loose parts or debris under the belt.
  • Ensure the treadmill is on a flat, stable surface.
  • If the noise persists, contact customer support.
