6. Maintenance

Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and safe operation of your SQUATZ Walking Pad.

• Cleaning:
  • Always unplug the unit before cleaning.
  • Wipe down the walking pad and display with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents.
  • Keep the area around the motor clean and free of dust.
• Belt Lubrication:
  • The running belt requires periodic lubrication with the provided silicone oil to ensure smooth operation and prevent wear.
  • Lift the edge of the running belt and apply a small amount of silicone oil evenly to the center of the deck.
  • Run the walking pad at a low speed (e.g., 1 MPH) for 5 minutes to distribute the lubricant.
  • Frequency of lubrication depends on usage; typically every 3-6 months for moderate use.
• Belt Adjustment:
  • If the running belt shifts to one side or slips, it may need adjustment.
  • Use the L spanner and wrench provided to adjust the tension bolts at the rear of the walking pad.
  • Turn the bolt clockwise to tighten the belt or move it to the right; turn counter-clockwise to loosen or move it to the left. Make small adjustments (quarter turns) and test.
  • Ensure the belt is centered and has proper tension (you should be able to lift the edge of the belt about 2-3 inches in the middle).
• Storage:
  • When not in use, the walking pad can be stored flat under furniture due to its slim profile.
  • Ensure the power is off and the unit is unplugged before storing.
