8. Maintenance

Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your treadmill.

Cleaning:

• Unplug the treadmill before cleaning.
• Wipe down the display and exterior surfaces with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
• Periodically vacuum dust from around the motor cover.

Lubrication:

The running belt requires periodic lubrication to reduce friction and extend its lifespan. Use the provided lubricant or a 100% silicone treadmill lubricant.

1. Unplug the treadmill.
2. Loosen the rear roller bolts slightly to lift the belt.
3. Apply a small amount of lubricant 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., 1 MPH) for 5 minutes to distribute the lubricant.

Belt Adjustment:

The running belt may require adjustment if it becomes off-center or slips. Use the included small wrench.

• To center the belt: If the belt drifts to the left, turn the left rear roller bolt clockwise by a quarter turn. If it drifts to the right, turn the right rear roller bolt clockwise by a quarter turn. Run the treadmill for 1-2 minutes and re-check. Repeat as necessary.
• To tighten the belt: If the belt slips during use, turn both rear roller bolts clockwise by a quarter turn. Run the treadmill for 1-2 minutes and re-check. Repeat as necessary. Do not overtighten.
