5. Maintenance
Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your treadmill.
Lubrication of the Running Belt
The running belt requires regular lubrication to reduce friction and wear. Use only the silicone oil provided or recommended by FYC.
- Turn off and unplug the treadmill.
- Loosen the rear roller bolts slightly to lift the belt.
- Apply a small amount of silicone lubricant evenly under the center of the running belt.
- Tighten the rear roller bolts.
- Plug in the treadmill and run it at a low speed (e.g., 1-2 mph) for 5 minutes to distribute the lubricant.
Frequency: Lubricate every 30-50 hours of use or every 1-2 months, depending on usage.
Running Belt Adjustment
If the running belt shifts to one side or slips, it may need adjustment.
- Centering the Belt: If the belt drifts to one side, use the provided Allen wrench to turn the corresponding rear roller bolt a quarter turn clockwise. Run the treadmill for a few minutes and observe. Repeat until the belt is centered. If it drifts to the other side, turn the opposite bolt.
- Tightening the Belt: If the belt slips during use, turn both rear roller bolts a quarter turn clockwise simultaneously. Do not overtighten, as this can cause excessive wear.
Cleaning
- Wipe down the console and exterior surfaces with a damp cloth after each use. Avoid harsh chemicals.
- Periodically vacuum under the treadmill to prevent dust and debris from accumulating.
