Treadmill Maintenance

TRACKING
(pre-set from factory, but may need adjustment during installation)
The treadbelt is tracked by means of the two 9/16” hex head bolts at the back end of the treadmill. Tightening (clockwise)
the adjustment bolt on the side of the machine that the belt has moved towards, and loosening the bolt on the opposite side
an equal amount, will cause the belt to move towards the center. Adjustments should be made with the treadmill running,
and should be made in 1/4-turn increments. Allow at least 30 seconds for the belt to stabilize between each adjustment. Run
the belt at high speed (6-8 mph). To ensure proper belt tracking and alignment, the treadmill must be placed on a stable and
level surface.
A yellow warning label will show at the rear of the treadmill when the treadbelt is not tracked correctly (L8 and L9 only).
TREADBELT TENSIONING
(pre-set from factory, but may need adjustment during installation)
Need for tension is indicated by uneven belt speed, and may be sensed by sudden stopping of the treadbelt when your foot
comes down on the belt. To check belt tension, run treadmill at 1 mph. Then, walk on machine. If belt does not feel like it
is slipping/hesitating, then belt is tensioned correctly. If belt slips/hesitates, then belt is not fully tensioned. The same hex
head bolts used for tracking also tension the treadbelt. To tighten the treadbelt, turn both bolts clockwise exactly the same
amount a 1/4-turn at a time. Failure to turn them equally will affect belt tracking. DO NOT OVER-TIGHTEN. Continue
checking for treadbelt slipping. Once treadbelt is fully tensioned, speed up treadmill to 5 mph. Then, while jogging lightly,
check for any sudden slipping/hesitating of the treadbelt. Repeat treadbelt tensioning instructions if required.
MOTOR DRIVE BELT TENSIONING
(pre-set from factory)
To measure the tension, twist the drive belt between the motor and the drive roller. The ideal tension will allow you to twist
the drive belt 45˚. If you can twist the belt past 45˚, it is too loose. If you cannot twist the belt to at least 45˚, it is too tight
and you should contact you service provider
TREADMILL LUBRICATION & CLEANING
It is recommended that you vacuum around and underneath the treadmill on a monthly basis. Your treadmill will last
longer and look better if you wipe the sweat off the unit after each workout.
Lubrication is not required on residential treadmills. In institutional settings Landice recommends lubricating the underside
of the treadbelt with Landice SlipCoat on a monthly basis.
Service Check-List
• Tension and track treadbelt
• Lubricate belt and vacuum treadmill
• Check drive belt tension
DANGER:
Lethal voltages and moving parts capable of causing serious injury are
exposed when the drive housing cover is removed. Under no circumstances should the motor
cover be removed except by a Landice factory-authorized technician.
WARNING:
Moving parts can cause serious damage.
Be sure to unplug treadmill before placing hands underneath the treadbelt!!!
