Maintenance Guideline and Instruction

1. Guideline
WARNING: Be sure that the motorized treadmill is not plugged in when you clean or maintain the product.
Cleaning: A comprehensive cleaning shall significantly extend the product life
Remove dust regularly to keep parts clean. It is necessary to clean the exposed parts on two sides out of the belt. and this shall decrease dust accumulation under the belt.
Be sure your sports shoes are clean before exercise and this could avoid lint from dropping into the running machine and then damaging the running plate and belt.
Scrub the belt surface by a wet cloth with soap, and be careful not to spill water on the electrical components or under the belt.
WARNING: Be sure that the motorized treadmill is not plugged in before removing the motor cover.
It is necessary to clean the motor and lubricate with silicone oil at least once a year.
The treadmill has been pre-coated with silicone oil between the running plate and belt.
It is necessary to lubricate it by silicone oil regularly, because the friction between the running belt and plate has big impact on product life and performance. We recommend you to take regular inspection on the running plate. If the running plate is damaged, please contact our customer service  center.
We recommend user to squeeze drops of the silicone oil between running belt and plate according to the following timetable:
Low frequency users (use time: less than 3 hours per week): add silicone oil once every 6 months
Middle frequency users (use time: 3-5 hours per week): add silicone oil once every 3 months
High frequency users (use time: more than 5 hours per week): add silicone oil once every 1.5 months

2. Instruction
In order to maintain your running machine better to extend product life, it is recommended to turn off the running machine after using it for 2 hours, and have a 10 min break before continue.
If the running belt is too loose, it could be slippery when you exercise; if too tight, it may decrease the motor performance and increase the abrasion of drum and running belt. You can check whether the running belt is fitting or not by raising the two sides of running. belt horizontally by hands. The suitable distance between raised running belt and plate is 2-3 inch.
2.1 Running plate lubrication,
1. We mentioned above that it is necessary to add silicone oil on running plate at the right time. But please do not use excessive silicone oil. Remember: proper lubrication is an important factor in extending the product life of a treadmill.
2. The method to check whether it is necessary to add silicone oil
Raise the running belt and stretch your hand as far as possible to touch the central part of the back side of the running belt. If your hands can grab a little silicone oil (feel slightly moist), that means you do not need to inject silicone oil. If the running plate is dry and no silicone oil adhered to your hand, then you need to inject silicone oil.

3. The procedure to squeeze silicone oil on the running plate:

Note: The cut is about 0.2 inch.
a) As shown in the picture, cut the oil bottle pipe, twist off the cover, tear the inner sealing paper, and then tighten the cover.
b) When the running machine is stop working, squeeze the oil bottle slowly to let the oil flow into the running belt through the oil pipe, and run the treadmill at a speed of 1 mph to evenly apply the silicone oil, and lightly tap on the belt in the middle. In a few minutes, the silicone oil can be completely absorbed by the running belt.

2.2 Tautness adjustment of the running belt.
The running belt has been adjusted to a suitable tautness twice after the installation and before delivery. However, after use for a period of time, the running belt could be somehow loose. For example: the user may feel standstill or slippery during his running. When this phenomenon occurs, please adjust the tautness of the running belt by rotating the both left and right adjusting bolts clockwise with a half circle as a unit, (to tighten the running belt, please operate in an anticlockwise direction). If the running belt is too loose, the user will feel slippery when running; while it is also not good if the running belt is too tight, because it shall increase the motor load and damage the motor, running belt, the roller and etc.

2.3 The belt centering
1. Place the running machine on even ground.
2. Start the running machine and set the speed at 2.2mph.
3. If the running belt is tilted to the left side, rotate the adjustment bolt on the left side by 1/2 circle in the clockwise direction, and then rotate the adjustment bolt on the right side by 1/2 circle in an anticlockwise direction.
4. If the running belt is tilted to the right side, rotate the adjustment bolt on the right side by 1/2 circle in the clockwise direction, and then rotate the adjustment bolt on the left side by 1/2 circle in an anticlockwise direction.

If the running belt is tilted to the left side, rotate the adjusting bolt as image

If the running belt is tilted to the right side, rotate the adjusting bolt as image

2.4 Driving belt adjustment
The driving belt has to be adjusted before delivery. However, after using for a period of time, slipping phenomenon may occur and the user can adjust the driving belt by itself.
Adjustment procedure (as shown in the right picture):
1 Rotate the adjustment bolt clockwise with a wrench
2 The adjustment range: take load without slipping as the standard
Note: please clean junk in the belt groove and pulley groove regularly

Please contact our customer service department for repair service.
