StorageKeep the treadmill in a dry place with as little temperaturevariation as possible. Try to protect from dust and alwaysunplug when not in use.CleaningUse a warm, damp cloth to wipe the treadmill surfaces.Mild detergent may be used if necessary.Do not clean between the mat and the running board, siliconelubricant is placed here to keep the mat running smoothly.LubricationAn insufficiently lubricated deck will cause the belt, running deckand motor to wear our much quicker. How often you shouldlubricate depends on usage, we recommend the following:• Light use (less than 3 hours a week) - every 8 months• Medium use (3 to 5 hours a week) - every 4 months• Heavy use (more than 5 hours a week) - every 2 monthsYou can check for proper lubrication levels at any timeby doing the following:1. disconnect the treadmill from the power supply2. fold up the running deck, so the treadmill isin the storage position3. put your hand underneath the mat and feel along the runningdeck, as close to the centre of the deck as you can:• if your hand gets a light coating of lubricantthen no further lubrication is required• if the surface feels dry and your hand feels clean,then apply more lubricantYour treadmill comes ready supplied with a bottle of lubricationoil - to use, apply a liberal amount to a lint free cloth and run clothalong the lenth of the running deck (underneath the mat). It’simportant to try and get the lubricant as close to centre of the deckas possible. Check the lubrication level as detailed above andre-apply with the cloth if necessary.If you need more lubricant, we recommend you use the Lube-N-Walk Treadmill Lubrication Kit, it can be obtained from local Yorkdistributors - see the Contact Us details at the front of this manual orvisit www.yorkfitness.comAdjusting running mat tensionThe tension of the mat has been pre-set at the factory; however, withuse the mat can stretch slightly and become loose. If the mat is tooloose you will find it starts to slip during use. To tighten the mat:1. Set the treadmill to run at 3 km/h2. Locate the adjustment screws at the end of the treadmill(there’s one on each side - see diagram below)3. Using the allen key provided, adjust both screwsby ½ turn clockwise4. Re-test the mat tension. If the mat still slips, repeat step 3TIP: when correctly tensioned you should be able to lift the edge ofthe mat about 5 – 7cm – please only check this when the power isturned off.Adjusting runningmat alignmentThe alignment of the mat has been pre-set at the factory, however,the mat can be caused to run out-of-line by a user’s running style (eg,more weight on one foot), or if it placed on an uneven surface – soit may need adjusting from time to time. If the mat is running out ofalignment it will track towards either the left or right hand side of therunning deck. To re-align:1. Set the treadmill to run at 3 km/h2. Locate the adjustment screws at the end of the treadmill(there’s one on each side - see diagram above)3. If your mat moves to the right, using the allen key provided adjustthe right screw by ½ turn clockwise (if it tracks to the left, performthe same operation on the left screw)4. Let the treadmill run for a minute to see if it re-aligns tothe centre.
