Maintenance

Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your GYMAX Walking Pad.

  • Cleaning: Wipe down the treadmill with a damp cloth after each use to remove sweat and dust. Avoid using abrasive cleaners.
  • Lubrication: The running belt requires periodic lubrication to reduce friction and extend its lifespan. Use the provided lubricant or a silicone-based treadmill lubricant.
    • Apply lubricant under the center of the running belt, ensuring it spreads evenly.
    • Frequency of lubrication depends on usage; typically every 1-3 months with regular use.
  • Belt Adjustment: If the running belt shifts to one side, it may need adjustment. Refer to the detailed instructions in the full product manual for proper belt alignment procedures.
  • Storage: When not in use, the treadmill can be folded into a compact size and stored under a bed or sofa. Utilize the built-in transport wheels for easy movement.
