Care of your TreadClimber

Exercise Machine

Walking Belt and Deck Lubrication

The TreadClimber

machine is equipped with a

pre-lubricated, low maintenance deck and belt

system. Belt friction may affect the function and life

of the TreadClimber

machine. For the best results

from your TreadClimber

machine, lubricate the

treadles periodically with a silicone lubricant, using

the following instructions:

1. Unplug the TreadClimber

machine completely

from the wall outlet, and remove the power cord

from the incoming power plug.

2. While the TreadClimber

machine’s treadle

surfaces are still warm (not hot), apply a very

thin layer of silicone lubricant directly onto the

treadle beneath each belt—gently lift each

side of the belt and apply a few drops of the

lubricant.

3. Plug the TreadClimber

machine back into the

machine base and then into wall outlet.

4. Stand to one side of your TreadClimber

machine on the rubber mat.

5. Turn on your TreadClimber

machine, and start

the belts at the slowest speed. Let the belts run

for approximately 15 seconds.

6. Turn off your TreadClimber

machine.

7. Take care to wipe up any excess lubricant from

the treadles and your rubber floor mat.

We also

recommend a periodic inspection of the

treadle surfaces under the belts. If the

decks appear worn, contact a TreadClimber

Representative at 1-800-NAUTILUS (1-800-628-

8458).

NOTE: To reduce the possibility of slipping, be

sure the treadle area is free from grease

or oil. Wipe off any excess oil from the

machine surfaces.

Use the following timetable as a guide to lubricate

the decks:

• Light user (fewer than 3 hours/week):

annually

• Medium user (3-5 hours/week):

every 6 months

• Heavy user (more than 5 hours/week):

every three months

We recommend that you use the following:

• Lube-N-Walk

Treadmill Lubrication Kit,

available from JAD Fitness, Inc. (800-877-

3486 or www.jadfitness.com) or your local

specialty fitness dealer.

• 8300 Silicone Spray, available at most

Hardware and Auto Parts stores.

Inspecting

1. Visually inspect the TreadClimber

machine

every time you use it for wear, damage, or

loose parts.

2. Inspect the frame for any rust, bubbling, or

paint chips during the weekly cleaning. The

salt in perspiration can damage the unpainted

surfaces.

3. Inspect the belts for excessive wear during

lubrication. Adjust the belt tension if necessary.
