19Lubricating the Walking BeltYour treadmill is equipped with a low maintenance deck and belt system. Belt friction can affect the function and life of themachine. Lubricate the belt every 3 months or every 25 hours of use, whichever comes first. Even if the treadmill is not in use,silicone will dissipate and the belt will dry out. For the best results lubricate the deck periodically with the silicone lubricantsupplied with the machine, using the following instructions:1. Turn off the power to the machine with the power switch.2. Unplug the treadmill fully from the wall outlet, and remove the power cord from the machine.To reduce the risk of electrical shock, always unplug the power cord and wait 5 minutes before cleaning,maintaining or repairing this machine. Place the power cord in a secure location.Note: Make sure the treadmill is located on a surface that is easy to clean.3. Fold the treadmill. Refer to the “Moving the Machine” procedure in this manual. Be sure that the hydraulic lift is correctlylocked in place. You will hear an audible click when the hydraulic lift shifts into the locked position.Use proper safety precautions and lifting techniques. Use a second person if necessary.Do not use the walking belt or rear roller to lift the treadmill. These parts do not lock in place and can abruptly move.Injury to you or damage to the machine can occur.4. Make sure that the locking mechanism is engaged. Carefully pull back on the walking deck and make sure that it doesnot move. When you do this, keep clear of movement path in case the treadmill lock is not engaged.Do not lean against the treadmill when it is folded. Do not put items on it that could cause it to become unstable or fall.Do not connect the power cord or try to operate the treadmill in the folded position.5. Apply a few drops of the lubricant to the inner surface of the belt for the entire width of the belt. A very thin layer of sili-cone lubricant on the entire deck below the belt is desired.NOTICE: Always use a silicone-based lubricant such as the lubricant supplied with the machine. Do not use a degreaser likeWD-40® as this could seriously impact performance. We can recommend that you use the following:• 8300 Silicone Spray, available at most Hardware and Auto Parts stores.• Lube-N-Walk® Treadmill Lubrication Kit, available from your local distributor or your local specialty fitness dealer..6. Manually rotate the belt 1/2 of the circumference and apply lubricant again.7. Unfold the machine. Refer to the “Unfolding the Machine” procedure in this manual.Keep clear of the movement path of the walking deck. Hold onto the walking deck until approximately 2/3 of themovement down. The walking deck can possibly drop quickly in the last part of the movement.If you used spray lubricant, wait 5 minutes before turning on power to the machine to allow the aerosol to dissipate.
