- Always unplug the treadmill before cleaning.

The running belt may require lubrication after extended use to ensure smooth operation and reduce friction. Refer to the manufacturer's recommendations for the type of lubricant and application frequency. Typically, silicone-based treadmill lubricant is applied under the running belt.
5.3 Belt Adjustment and Alignment
If the running belt feels loose, slips, or drifts to one side, it may need adjustment. Use the provided Allen wrench to make small adjustments to the rear roller bolts. Turn the bolts in small increments (e.g., quarter turns) and test the belt after each adjustment until it is centered and properly tensioned. Over-tightening can damage the motor and belt.
