TREADBELT TRACKING ADJUSTMENT: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, d uring 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 clockwise 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.
A
djustments 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: Use Progression Fitness Treadmill Lubricant every 30 hours or
once a month. For optimal performance, the walking board may require periodic lubrication. It is recom-
mended that every 30 days or after 30 hours of operation, you check the board surface. Simply raise the
sides of the walking belt and rub your hand on the board surface as far under the belt as you can reach. If
your hand shows signs of silicone, it does not need additional lubrication. If, however, the board feels dry
and there is very little evidence of silicone on your hand, additional lubrication should be added.
TO LUBRICATE THE WALKING BOARD:•Stop walking belt so belt seam is located on top and in the center of the walking board.
•Insert nozzle into spray head of lubricant can.
•Lift walking belt.
•Position nozzle between the belt and board approximately 8” from the front of the treadmill.
•Apply the silicone from the front to the rear of the treadmill on each side of the treadmill. Try to reach the
spray as far under the belt as possible. The spraying time should be approximately 4 seconds for each
side.
•Allow the silicone to dry for approximately 1 minute before using the treadmill.
Spray time should not exceed 4 seconds per side.
