Belt Lubrication
Use only 100% Silicone and avoid using aerosol silicone sprays which include additives and petroleum distillates. One ounce of Silicone should be used for each application. LifeSpan oers 100% silicone lubricant that can be ordered at www.lifespantness.com.
The running belt should be lubricated every 3 months (regardless of use) or every 50
hours of use, whichever comes rst. Even if the treadmill is not being used, silicone will dissipate over time and the belt will dry out.
Note: Even though the running belt is lubed from the manufacturer, you should lubricate
the running belt when rst using the treadmill in case the belt has dried some between the dates the unit was manufactured and when it was purchased.
The Silicone icon will turn on in the display every 100 hours of use and is a reminder that it is time to lubricate the running belt. As indicated above it is best to lubricate the running belt every 50 hours of use. This is a reminder for the 2nd 50 hours. The icon will be in the display for 5 minutes and then it will turn o. To turn the icon o you can simply press the SPEED DOWN and START buttons simultaneously untill the icon turns o.
Apply the silicone to the underside of the treadmill belt. Do not apply to the walking surface.
This may be accomplished by folding the treadmill and applying the silicone to the back of the belt from each back corner. Spray the silicone down and across the belt from each corner. Rotate the belt 1/2 of the circumference and repeat from each corner.
Note: When lubricating the belt, make sure the treadmill is located on a surface that can be easily cleaned. After lubricating your treadmill running belt, clean any excess silicone o the belt and frame.
Cleaning and Maintenance
It is recommended to wipe the treadmill down after each use to keep the treadmill clean and dry. A mild detergent may be used at times to help remove all dirt and salt from the belt, painted parts and the display.
The Maintenance icon shows up in the display every 150 hours of use. This is a reminder to clean the unit really good. This cleaning would include removing the motor cover and cleaning around the motor and electronics. It is recommended to clean the motor compartment if the treadmill is in an area where there might be a lot of pet hair or plush carpet bers that could get pulled up into the motor compartment. It is a good idea at this time to check and tighten all assembly hardware as well.
Warning: Unplug the Power Cord Before Removing the Motor Cover.
After cleaning and checking all assembly hardware, turn the maintenance icon o, by pressing SPEED DOWN and START buttons simultaneously until the icon turns o.
