6. Maintenance

Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your WalkingPad G1.

6.1 Cleaning

• Always unplug the treadmill before cleaning.
• Wipe down the treadmill's surfaces with a damp cloth and mild detergent. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
• Regularly vacuum under the treadmill to prevent dust and debris buildup.

6.2 Belt Lubrication

The running belt requires periodic lubrication to reduce friction and extend its lifespan. Lubricate every 3 months or after 50 hours of use, whichever comes first.

1. Unplug the treadmill.
2. Loosen the rear roller bolts slightly to lift the belt.
3. Apply a small amount of silicone lubricant (provided or recommended by manufacturer) evenly under the center of the running belt.
4. Tighten the rear roller bolts.
5. Plug in the treadmill and run it at a low speed (e.g., 3 km/h) for 5 minutes to distribute the lubricant.

6.3 Belt Adjustment

If the running belt shifts to one side or slips, it may need adjustment.

• Belt Centering: If the belt drifts to the left, turn the left rear roller bolt clockwise a quarter turn. If it drifts to the right, turn the right rear roller bolt clockwise a quarter turn. Run the treadmill for a few minutes and re-check. Repeat until centered.
• Belt Tension: If the belt slips during use, it may be too loose. Turn both rear roller bolts clockwise a quarter turn simultaneously. Test and repeat if necessary. Do not overtighten.
