Belt/Deck Lubrication Procedure
Do not lubricate with other than Spirit Fitness approved lubricant. Your treadmill comes with one tube of lubricant and extra tubes can be ordered directly from Spirit Fitness or your authorized Spirit Fitness
dealer.
Keeping the deck lubricated at the recommended intervals ensures the longest life possible for your treadmill. If the lubricant dries out, the friction between the belt and deck rises and places undue stress on the drive motor, drive belt and electronic motor control board, which could result in catastrophic failure of these expensive components. Failure to lubricate the deck at regular intervals may void the warranty.
The belt & deck come
Use the lubricant to lubricate the deck beneath the belt. If you can reach under the belt approximately 6” on each side, use the following procedure: Unplug the electrical cord. At the middle of the deck, lift up on the belt and reach under with the tube of lubricant. Squirt most of the lubricant on the deck surface. Repeat the process on the opposite side. Plug the electrical cord back into the outlet and walk on the belt at a moderate speed for five minutes.
If unable to perform the above procedure, it will be necessary to loosen the walking belt. Using the 6
mmAllen wrench supplied, loosen the two rear roller adjustment bolts
Once the belt is loose, wipe the deck with a clean lint free cloth to remove any dirt. Apply the whole tube of lubricant onto the deck surface about 18 inches from the motor cover. Squeeze out the contents of the tube across the deck (parallel to the motor cover) in about a
Once the lubricant is applied, tighten the rear roller bolts the same amount of turns as when you loosened them. Run the treadmill at about 3 mph without walking on it for about a minute or two to make sure the belt stays in the middle of the deck. If the belt tracks to one side then follow the belt tracking instructions to remedy. Now the deck is lubricated and you should walk, not run, on the treadmill immediately for at least 5 minutes to ensure the lubricant is evenly distributed.
