ELT/DECKLUBRICATION
Do not lubricate with anything other than SOLE approved lubricant.Your treadmill comes with
one tube of lubricant and extra tubes can be ordered directly from SOLE.There are
commercially available lube kits, but the only one currently approved by SOLE is Lube-N-Walk.
These kits come with an application wand that makes applying the lubrication easier.The kits
can be purchased directly from Lube-N-Walk here: http://www.jadfitness.com/. The proper kit
should be silicon based, NOT paraffin wax.You can also purchase SOLE lubricant from our
website www.soletreadmills.com under the products tab.
Keeping the deck lubricated at the recommended intervals ensures the longest life possible for
your treadmill. If the lubricant dries out, the friction between the belt and deck rises and places
undue stress on the drive motor, drive belt and electronic motor control board, which could
result in catastrophic failure of these expensive components. Failure to lubricate the deck at
regular intervals may void the warranty.The belt and deck come pre-lubricated and subsequent
lubrication should be performed every 180 hours of use.
The belt & deck come pre-lubricated.The console has a built in lubrication reminder indicator
that lights every 180 hours of use. To lubricate the deck with the tube of lubricant supplied it
will be necessary to loosen the walking belt. Using the 6 mm Allen wrench supplied, loosen the
two rear roller adjustment bolts -- located in the rear end caps - enough to get your hand under
the belt (5 -10 turns). Make sure to loosen both bolts the same amount of turns and also
remember how many turns, because when finished you will need to tighten the bolts back to
the point they were before.
Once the belt is loose, wipe the deck with a clean lint free cloth to remove any dirt. Apply the
whole tube of lubricant onto the deck surface about 18 inches from the motor cover. Squeeze
out the contents of the tube across the deck (parallel to the motor cover) in about a one-foot
line, like toothpaste on a toothbrush.The one-foot line should be in the middle of the deck at
approximately equal distance from both side edges of the belt.You want the lubricant to be
applied about the spot that your feet would hit the belt as you are walking.This should be
about 18 inches from the motor cover, but you may want to walk on the treadmill before
loosening the belt to note where your feet land on the belt. If you mostly use the treadmill for
running, the spot where your feet land may be different from walking.
Once the lubricant is applied, tighten the rear roller bolts the same amount of turns as when
you loosened them. Run the treadmill at about 3 mph without walking on it for about a minute
or two to make sure the belt stays in the middle of the deck. If the belt tracks to one side then
follow the belt tracking instructions to remedy. Now the deck is lubricated and you should walk,
not run, on the treadmill immediately for at least 5 minutes to ensure the lubricant is evenly
distributed. If you purchase a silicone based Lube-N-Walk kit, follow the instructions that come
with it to apply the lubrication.
