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.
Belt/Deck Lubrication Procedure
First, you want to clean between the belt and deck to remove any debris that may be trapped. Use a
clean, non-fraying rag, t-shirt, or light towel. Halfway between the end of the treadmill and motor cover,
shove the garment under the belt until you can grasp it on both sides of the belt. Drag the garment the
length of the entire belt 1-2 times. Remove the garment.
Do not lubricate with anything other than XTERRA Fitness approved lubricant. Your treadmill comes
with one tube of "Lube" and extra tubes can be ordered directly from:
www.xterrafitness.com.
Keeping the deck lubricated at the recommended intervals ensures the longest life possible for
your treadmill. If the lubricant dries out, the friction between the belt and deck rises and places
undue stress on the drive motor, drive belt and electronic motor control board, which could result in
catastrophic failure of these expensive components. Failure to lubricate the deck at
regular intervals may void the warranty.
The belt & deck come pre-lubricated and subsequent lubrication should be performed every 180
hours of use or if you notice that the deck is dry. It is recommended that you reach between the
belt and deck to verify there is lubrication present, every other month. If you check and there isn't
any lubrication present, follow the procedure below even though the "Lube" indicator isn't lit on the
console. Otherwise, lubricate when the console's lubrication reminder lights after 180 hours of use.
Use the following procedure to apply the silicone lubricant:
1. Turn the power switch off and unplug the power cord from the wall outlet
2. Measure 18" from the edge of the motor cover; kneel down and reach under the belt approxi-
mately 4- 6" from one edge. Squirt a line of lubricant about 1/8" wide x 15" long in an "S" pattern
perpendicular to the motor cover.
3. Repeat the process on the opposite side.
4. Plug the electrical cord back into the outlet and turn the power switch on.
5. Walk on the belt at a moderate speed for five minutes to evenly distribute the silicone lube.
Note: If the "Lube" message appears on the console, perform the following procedure to
reset the message:
1. In standby mode, hold the ENTER key for 3 seconds to reset the message.
