Instructions for lubricating treadmills with SlipCote
SlipCote lubricant is designed to reduce friction between the treadbelt and slider deck. It is required for all institutional treadmills. Proper and timely application of SlipCote will prevent premature failures due to excessive wear and load. Items affected by inadequate lubrication are the treadbelt, slider deck, motor, and motor controller.
When to lubricate:
Landice institutional treadmills should be lubricated on a monthly basis.
How to lubricate:
Only use SlipCote by Landice. Most standard greases, waxes, and silicon sprays will build up on the deck and rollers and have an adverse effect on the longevity of the treadmill.
Using a large syringe, such as a turkey baster, squirt 1/2 tube full of SlipCote underneath the center of the Treadbelt (1/2 Oz.). If you’re using our SlipCote packets, empty the entire contents of the packet under the center of the treadbelt.
Walk for 1 minute on the treadmill at a speed of 1.0 mph. This will moisten about an 8" track underneath the center of the entire Treadbelt.
Note: Do not get SlipCote on TOP of Treadbelt. This will make treadbelt very slippery and make treadmill dangerous to use. We recommend using rubbing alcohol applied to a sponge to remove any SlipCote on the treadbelt.

Cleaning Treadbelt Walking Surface- Treadbelts can become dirty and unsightly when users track dirt onto them. If vacuuming doesn’t remove dirt, we recommend the use of a nylon bristle
