GETTING ON AND OFF THE TREADMILL

With the treadmill belt idle, step on the side rails to straddle the belt. Set up a workout using the steps described in Section 3.2, titled Using the Workouts. When the belt is in motion, hold the handrails and carefully step onto the belt. Continue to use the handrails as necessary for stability. After completing a workout, wait until the belt is idle before stepping off.

CAUTION: Always face forward during a workout.

KEEPING THE TREADMILL DECK LUBRICATED

The treadmill deck has been pre-lubricated at the factory. However, it may require periodic lubrication throughout its usage life for optimal performance and reduced wear-and-tear on important components . With an average rate of use, which is approximately three weekly 30-minute workout sessions, the treadmill lubrication level should be checked every 9 - 12 months.

To check the lubrication level: When the treadmill is idle, reach underneath the belt, palm-side-down, as far toward the center as possible. Then, place the hand on the deck. If it is moist then it does not require lubrication. If the deck is dry, it requires lubrication.

To add lubricant: The Lube-N-Walk®Wax Kit is recommended for this treadmill. Follow the instructions included with the kit to add lubricant. Use of other lubrication kits may void the warranty. Contact the product service center for more information on the Lube-N-Walk Wax Kit. See Section 4.2 for contact information.

CENTERING THE TREADMILL BELT

With normal use, the treadmill belt periodically may tend to run off-center. To test and adjust the belt, run the treadmill at 4 mph (6.5 kph) without a user on it. To perform any centering adjustment, use the Allen wrench that was shipped with the unit, and turn the left and right roller bolts, as described below. The roller bolts are located in the back of the frame side rail.

If the belt runs too far to the left: Turn the left roller bolt one quarter-turn clockwise to tighten it. Then, turn the right roller bolt on quarter-turn counterclockwise to loosen it.

If the belt runs too far to the right: Turn the right roller bolt one quarter-turn clockwise to tighten it. Then, turn the left roller bolt on quarter-turn counterclockwise to loosen it.

After performing any adjustment, continue to run the belt without a user on it for three minutes to confirm that it is cen- tered. Repeat adjustments as necessary.

CAUTION: Never turn the bolts more than one quarter-turn at any time. Also, over-tightening the belt can shorten the belt’s life considerably.

ADJUSTING THE TREADMILL BELT TENSION

As the belt stretches over time with normal use, the user may begin to feel the belt slipping across the rollers. The slip- ping sensation indicates that the belt requires tightening. When the belt is idle and not in use, turn each roller bolt one quarter turn clockwise to tighten it. Make sure to turn each bolt an equal amount.

Afterward, walk on the belt while it is in motion to test the adjustment. Repeat the tightening if necessary, but do not turn the bolts more than one quarter-turn at any time.

If this adjustment does not stop the belt from slipping, call Customer Service. See section 4.2, titled How to Obtain Product Service.
