Walking Belt and Deck Lubrication
The TreadClimber
®
machine is equipped with a low maintenance deck and belt system. Belt friction can affect the
function and life of the machine. Your TreadClimber
®
tness machine came with a starter supply of lubrication for
the belts.
Lubrication Schedule
User Level Total Workout Hours per Week When to Lubricate
Light less than 3 hours every 3 months
Moderate 3 to 5 hours every 2 months
Heavy 5 or more hours every month
We recommend that you use one of the following:
Lube-N-Walk
®
Treadmill Lubrication Kit (available from www.bowflex.com or your local specialty fitness dealer)
100% pure silicone, available at most hardware and auto parts stores.
As you use your fi tness machine, the Console will show “LUbE” at set times. This is only a reminder and should
be added to your inspection schedule. Only apply lubricant as necessary. Push the START button to accept the
reminder.
For the best results lubricate the Treadles periodically with a silicone lubricant, using the following instructions:
1. Unplug the machine fully from the wall outlet, and remove the power cord from the machine. Place the power
cord in a secure location.
2. Carefully lift each belt and apply silicone lubricant in the center of the Treadle deck along the entire reachable
length of the deck. Apply 0.5 to 1.5 oz. of the lubricant on the deck underneath each belt.
NOTICE: Always use a 100% pure silicone lubricant. Do not use a degreaser like WD-40
®
or a
petroleum based product as this could seriously impact performance.
Note: The Walking Belts may need to be loosened to allow for access during lubrication. Consult the
Adjusting the Walking Belts” procedure if necessary.
3. Connect the power cord back into the machine and then into the wall outlet.
4. Stay to one side of your machine.
