6. Maintenance
Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your treadmill.
6.1 Lubrication:
- The running belt requires periodic lubrication with silicone oil.

6.2 Belt Adjustment:
- If the running belt shifts to one side or feels loose, it may need adjustment.
- Refer to the detailed instructions in the included manual for specific belt tensioning and centering procedures using the adjustment bolts at the rear of the treadmill.
6.3 Cleaning:
- Wipe down the treadmill surfaces with a damp cloth after each use.
- Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents.
