Maintenance Guide

To ensure your under-desk treadmill continues running smoothly and safely for years to come, we’ve outlined essential maintenance steps. Our under-desk treadmills are built for minimal upkeep, but regular care is key for optimal performance.

 1. Lubricating the Belt

Frequency: Every 3 months or after 40 hours of use (whichever comes first).

Why it matters: Proper lubrication reduces friction between the belt and deck, preventing wear and extending motor life.

How to apply lubricant:

  • Unplug the treadmill.
  • Gently lift the edge of the belt.
  • Apply a 100% silicone treadmill lubricant along the center line under the belt, about 10ml per side.
  • Plug in the treadmill and walk at 3 km/h for 5 minutes to distribute the lubricant evenly.

Note: Do not use oil based lubricants or WD-40. Only use 100% silicone treadmill lubricant.

2. Adjusting Belt Tension

Symptoms of a loose belt: Slipping, lagging, or a burning smell during use.

How to tighten:

  • Locate the two tension bolts at the rear end of the treadmill (left and right).
  • Use the provided Allen key to turn each bolt clockwise ¼ turn at a time.
  • Test after each adjustment until the slipping stops.

Note: Don’t overtighten. The belt should move freely when powered off and manually pushed.

 3. Aligning the Belt

When needed: If the belt shifts to one side.

Steps:

  • Identify the direction the belt is moving off-center.
  • Tighten the bolt slightly on the side it’s drifting towards, and loosen the opposite bolt.
  • Run the treadmill at low speed (2 to 3 km/h) to check alignment. Repeat if needed.

 4. Cleaning the Treadmill

Frequency: Weekly or as needed.

To clean:

  • Belt & Deck: Wipe with a soft, damp cloth. Remove dust and debris.
  • Frame & Display: Use a microfiber cloth with mild soap solution. Avoid spraying water directly.
  • Motor area (optional): Every few months, unplug the treadmill, remove the cover, and gently clean dust using a dry cloth or handheld vacuum.

Note: Never use harsh chemicals, alcohol-based cleaners, or soak any part of the treadmill.

 5. Caring for the Remote

  • The AV remote control comes pre-installed with a CR2025 battery for immediate use.
  • Replace the battery with a CR2025 when performance begins to fade.
  • Keep the remote in a dry, cool environment to ensure consistent function

 6. Storage Tips

  • Always unplug the treadmill before moving.
  • Store upright or flat in a dry space.
  • Avoid prolonged exposure to moisture or direct sunlight.
