Life Fitness Treadmill : How to Properly Lubricate a Treadmill

Life Fitness Treadmill. I am going to share how to lubricate any treadmill properly and quickly. This will help to maintain your treadmill's belt. By lubricating the deck it will save on expensive repairs caused by friction between the deck and belt. Some of which can cost several hundred dollars.

1. You must obtain the proper lubricant for your treadmill. There are several different types. Contact your manufacturer for what type is needed.Using the manufacturer provided allen wrench, loosen the walking belt approximately 10 full turns on each side of the rear roller.
2. Apply approximately 1/2 ounce of lubricant directly in the middle of the walk area underneath the walking belt upon the deck.
3. Retighten the rear roller 10 turns on each side. Run the treadmill at 6.0 mph for 2-3 minutes to spread the lubricant evenly. Wipe excess lube from the sides of the belt.
4. Walk on treadmill to check for proper tension on belt.
