Lubricating the Walking Belt
Your treadmill is equipped with a low maintenance deck and belt system. The Walking Belt is pre-lubricated. Belt friction can affect the function and
life of the machine. Lubricate the belt every 3 months or every 25 hours of use, whichever comes rst. Even if the treadmill is not in use, silicone will
dissipate and the belt will dry out. For the best results, lubricate the deck periodically with a silicone lubricant using the following instructions:
1. Turn off the power to the machine with the power switch.
2. Unplug the treadmill fully from the wall outlet, and remove the power cord from the machine.
To reduce the risk of electrical shock, always unplug the power cord and wait 5 minutes before cleaning, maintaining or
repairing this machine. Place the power cord in a secure location.
Note: Make sure the treadmill is located on a surface that is easy to clean.
3. Apply a few drops of the lubricant on the deck below the belt. Carefully lift the belt and apply a few drops of the lubricant the entire width of the
belt. A very thin layer of silicone lubricant on the entire deck below the belt is desired.
NOTICE: Always use a 100% pure silicone lubricant. Do not use a degreaser like WD-40
®
as this could seriously impact performance. We can
recommend that you use the following:
• 100% pure silicone, available at most hardware and auto parts stores.
• Lube-N-Walk
®
Treadmill Lubrication Kit, available from your local specialty tness dealer or Nautilus, Inc.
Silicone lubricant is not intended for human consumption. Keep out of reach of children. Store in a safe place.
4. Manually rotate the belt 1/2 of the length of the belt and apply lubricant again.
If you used spray lubricant, wait 5 minutes before turning on power to the machine to allow the aerosol to dissipate.
5. Connect the power cord back into the machine and then into the wall outlet.
6. Turn on the power to the machine with the power switch.
7. Stay to one side of your machine and start the belt at the slowest speed. Let the belt operate for approximately 15 seconds.
Be sure not to touch the walking belt or step on the power cord. Keep bystanders and children away from the product you are
servicing at all times.
8. Switch off your machine.
9. Take care to clean up any excess lubricant from the deck.
To decrease the possibility of slipping, be sure the deck area is free from grease or oil. Clean off any excess oil from the machine
surfaces.
As you use your tness machine, the Console will show “LUBRICATE BELT” followed by “REVIEW USER MANUAL” at set times. This is only a
reminder and should be added to your inspection schedule. Only apply lubricant as necessary. Push any button to accept the reminder.
