2.Fold the treadmill up into the storage position.
3.Feel the back surface of the running mat.
If the surface is slick when touched, then no further lubrication is needed.
If the surface is dry to the touch, apply a suitable silicone lubricant.
We recommend you use a silicone based spray to lubricate your Lifespan Treadmill. This Can
be purchased from your local sports Retailer or a local hardware store.
4.5Belt Adjustment
Belt Tension Adjustment-It is very important for joggers and runners in order to provide a
smooth, steady running surface. Adjustment must be made from the right and left rear
roller in order to adjust tension with the Hexagonal Wrench provided in the parts package.
The adjustment bolt is located at the end of the rails as noted in diagram below:
Left bolt
Tighten the rear roller only enough to prevent slippage at the front roller. Turn both the right
and left bolt clockwise reasonably and inspect for proper tension. When an adjustment is
made to the belt tension, you must also make a tracking adjustment to compensate for the
change in belt tension.
DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN - Over tightening will cause belt damage and premature bearing
failure.
4.6Belt Tracking Adjustment
This treadmill is designed to keep the belt reasonably center while in use. It is normal for
some belts to drift near one side while the belt is running with no one on it. After a few
minutes of use, the belt should have a tendency to center itself. If during use, the belt con-
tinues to move toward one side, adjustments are necessary. The procedures are as below:
First set speed at lowest position.
Second check the belt shifts to which side.
Note: Adjustment is the small hold on the end caps.
