Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your treadmill.

5.1 Cleaning

After each use, wipe down the console and other surfaces with a damp cloth to remove sweat and dust. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents.

1. Turn off and unplug the treadmill.
2. Lift the edge of the running belt on one side.
3. Apply a thin line of 100% silicone lubricant (not included) to the center of the deck, underneath the belt.
4. Repeat on the other side.
5. Plug in the treadmill and run it at a low speed (e.g., 3 km/h) for 5 minutes to distribute the lubricant evenly.

5.3 Running Belt Adjustment

If the running belt feels loose or is drifting to one side, it may need adjustment. Refer to the detailed instructions in the full product manual or contact customer support for guidance.
