TRX5500 Treadmill

To ensure the longevity and proper function of your treadmill, proper belt maintenance is
required. You should regularly check between the treadmill belt and the top of the treadmill
base for proper lubrication, and to ensure that no dirt or debris has become trapped. Keeping
the deck clean and lubricated at the recommended intervals ensures the longest life possible
for your treadmill. Should lubrication dry out, or dirt become trapped, the friction between the
belt and deck increases. Increased friction places undue stress on the drive motor, drive belt,
and electronic motor control board which could result in catastrophic failure of these essential,
expensive components.
Failure to clean and lubricate the deck at regular intervals may void the warranty.
As a part of your routine maintenance schedule, belt lubrication and cleaning should be
performed every 80 hours of use, or earlier if you notice that the deck is dry or dirty. Please
also be sure to check belt lubrication before rst use. Do not lubricate with anything other
than XTERRA Fitness approved lubricant. Your treadmill comes with one tube of treadmill belt
lubricant. Extra tubes can be ordered directly from: www.xterratness.com, or by calling our
customer service department at (870)336-4286.
Regularly check belt lubrication by completing the following steps:
1. Ensure that your machine is o, and that the power cord is unplugged to minimize risk of
injury.
2. Reach between the running belt and the top of the treadmill base to verify that lubrication
is present.
To lubricate your treadmill belt:
1. Ensure that your machine is o, and unplugged to minimize risk of injury.
2. Reach between the belt and the top of the treadmill base to verify that lubrication is
present.
3. While kneeling beside your treadmill deck, use one hand to hold the treadmill belt up and
away from the treadmill base just enough so you can use your other hand to reach the
lubrication underneath.
4. Starting about 1 foot from the motor
cover, begin applying ½ of your
lubricant bottle in a long “S” pattern
about 4-6” from one edge.
5. Repeat steps 3 and 4 on the opposite
side using the remaining ½ of the
lubricant bottle.
6. Plug the treadmill power cord back in,
and turn the power switch back on.
Belt/Deck Lubrication Procedure
DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN – Over tightening will cause belt damage and premature bearing failure. If
you tighten the belt a lot and it still slips, the problem could actually be the drive belt - located under
the motor cover - that connects the motor to the front roller. If that belt is loose it feels similar to the
walking belt being loose. Tightening the motor belt should be done by a trained service person.
