The mat/deck friction may play a major role in the function and life of your treadmill and that is why we recommend you constantly lubricate this friction point to prolong the useful life of your treadmill.
Lubrication should be applied after approximately the first 50 hours of operation. We recommend lubrication of the deck according to the following timetable:
Light use (less than 3 hours per week) every 6 months
Medium use (3-5 hours a week) every 3 months
Heavy use (more than 5 hours per week) every 6-8 weeks.
See below procedures for lubricating:
1. Use a soft, dry cloth to wipe the area between the belt and deck.
2. Spread lubricant onto the inside surface of belt and deck evenly (make sure the machine is turned off and power is disconnected).
3. Periodically lubricate the front and rear rollers to keep them at there peak performance.
If the treadmill belt/deck/roller is kept reasonably clean it is possible to expect over 1200 hours before additional re-lubing is necessary.
