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!
