Servicing your product
It takes care of you, so you should do the same for it. Regular maintenance is necessary to preserve the performance of your equipment and extend its service life.
Centring the running belt
You will need the Allen key (BTR) that came with your treadmill:
How to check if your running belt has the proper tension
The tension on the WALK500's running belt should be set to 1.09 (+/- 0.03). This is the motor belt tension.
After checking the tension on the console:
If the figure is too low, you need to tighten the running belt. (Tightening is done by turning the roller's two rear wheels clockwise).
If the figure is too high, you need to loosen the running belt. (Loosening is done by turning the roller's two rear wheels anti-clockwise).
A half key turn = 0.03
For the setting: Select the "Running belt tension" tab in the MAINTENANCE section.
How to check the tension on the console:
1. Stand on the footrests.
2. With the safety key removed, press and hold the "START" and "STOP" buttons for three seconds.
3. "Start" will appear on the console. Press the "START" button and insert the safety key.
4. The treadmill will start at 5 km/h and display the running belt tension. (Make any adjustments if necessary).
5. Press the "STOP" button.
How to adjust the running belt tension on the WALK500
Running belt tension
The running belt is a wearing part that becomes loose over time. Re-tighten it as soon it begins to go slack (sliding sensation, jerky motion).
1&2. Turn the two adjustment screws a half turn clockwise (repeat if necessary, but make sure you don't over-tighten the belt).
3. The belt is properly tightened if you can lift the edges 2 to 3 cm on each side.
Running deck lubrication
It's important to do this regularly (every 200 hours of use) to keep your treadmill working as long as possible.
Running deck lubrication
