The performance of your treadmill is dependent on the frame running on a reasonably
level surface. If the frame is not level, the front and back roller cannot run parallel, and
constant belt adjustment may be necessary.
The treadmill is designed to keep the treadbelt reasonably centered while in use. It is
normal for some belts to drift near one side while the belt is running with no one on it.
After a few minutes of use, the treadbelt should have a tendency to center itself. If,
during use, the belt continues to move toward one side, adjustments are necessary.
TO SET TREADBELT TRACKING: A 6 mm Allen wrench is provided to adjust the rear roller. Make tracking adjustments
from the left side only. Set belt
speed at approximately 2 to 3 mph.
A small adjustment can make a
dramatic difference. Turn the bolt
only a 1/4 turn and wait a few
minutes for the belt to adjust itself.
Continue to make 1/4 turns until the
belt stabilizes in the center of the
running deck. The belt may require
periodic tracking adjustment
depending on use and
walking/running characteristics. Some users will affect tracking differently. Expect to
make adjustments as required to center the treadbelt. Adjustments will become less of a
maintenance concern as the belt is used. Proper belt tracking is an owner responsibility
common with all treadmills.
ATTENTION:
DAMAGE TO THE RUNNING BELT RESULTING FROM IMPROPER TRACKING /
TENSION ADJUSTMENTS IS NOT COVERED UNDER THE SPIRIT WARRANTY.
BELT / DECK LUBRICATION: Do not re-lube with other than Spirit lubricant. Spirit provides one application with this
unit. See your Spirit dealer for additional purchases. The use of some other lubricants
may destroy the deck surface or belt and will void warranty. Conditions exist beyond
Spirit’s control on belt / deck cleanliness which relates to friction.
You should apply the enclosed belt lubrication after approximately the first 50 hours of
operation. Use all the contents of one container (no more) and spread lubricant onto
middle portion (away from edges) of the deck (under treadbelt) along its width. When
walked on, the belt will make certain an even coat is applied. Lubricant is not harmful to
the skin. Lube will be distributed properly by walking at 2 to 3 mph for 3 to 5 minutes on
all areas of the belt. Use handrails for support. The first few minutes you will be
polishing your deck and lubricating the belt backing. Do not run on a newly lubricated
belt until the above break-in procedure is done. If the treadmill belt/deck is kept
reasonably clean it is possible to expect over 1000 hours before additional re-lubing is
necessary.
CAUTION - KEEP HANDS CLEAR OF MOVING REAR PULLEY!
