5. Maintenance
Regular maintenance is crucial for the longevity and optimal performance of your walking pad. Follow these guidelines to keep your treadmill in excellent condition.
- Lubrication: The running belt requires periodic lubrication to reduce friction and wear. Use the provided silicone oil. Apply lubricant every 3 months or after 50 hours of use, whichever comes first. Lift the edge of the belt and apply a thin line of oil to the center of the deck. Run the treadmill at a low speed for 5 minutes to distribute the oil.
- Cleaning: After each use, wipe down the treadmill's surface and display with a damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners. Regularly vacuum underneath the treadmill to prevent dust buildup.
- Belt Adjustment: The running belt may occasionally shift or become loose over time. Proper adjustment is crucial for safe and effective operation.
Adjusting the Running Belt:
If the running belt shifts to one side or feels loose, follow these steps to re-center and tension it:
- Power Off: Turn off and unplug the treadmill before making any adjustments.
- Identify Shift: Observe which side the belt has shifted towards.
- Adjust Tension Bolts: Use the hex wrench (included with your treadmill) to make small adjustments to the tension bolts located at the rear of the treadmill.
- Shifted Right: If the belt has shifted to the right, turn the left rear bolt 90 degrees clockwise.
- Shifted Left: If the belt has shifted to the left, turn the right rear bolt 90 degrees clockwise.
- Test: Plug in and turn on the treadmill. Run it at a low speed (e.g., 1-2 MPH) for 3-5 minutes. If the belt is still not centered, repeat small adjustments until it runs smoothly in the middle.
