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
®
fi 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)
For the best results lubricate the Treadles periodically with a silicone lubricant using the following instructions:
1. Remove the batteries from the machine.
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 0.15 to 0.25 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
®
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. Stay to one side of the machine and grasp the handlebars for support.
4. With one foot push the nearest belt toward the back of the machine at a very slow speed for approximately 15
seconds. Do not step on any excess lubricant, grease, or oil while pushing the belt.
5. Take care to clean up any excess lubricant from the Treadles. We also recommend a periodic inspection of the
Treadle surfaces below the belts. If the decks appear worn, contact a TreadClimber
®
Representative (refer to the
Contacts section of this manual).
