NOTE: To reduce the possibility of slipping, be sure the treadle deck surface area is free from excess lubricant. Wipe off any excess lubricant from the machine surfaces.

We also recommend a periodic inspection of the treadle surfaces under the belts. If the decks appear worn, contact a TreadClimber® Representative listed in the Important Contact Numbers section of this manual.

Use the following timetable as a guide to lubricate the decks:

We recommend that you only use Silicone Spray, available at most Hardware and Auto Parts stores.
