Care and Maintenance

The following section describes necessary maintenance for your PaceMaster treadmill. This maintenance is the responsibility of the

purchaser and is not covered under our warranty. Failure to perform this necessary maintenance could result in damage to your treadmill.

CAUTION: Unplug your treadmill before attempting any cleaning or maintenance.

Deck and Tread Belt Cleaning

The running belt on your PaceMaster rides on a low friction deck. Proper operation will be jeopardized if any water, dirt, solvents, fluids or

abrasive materials come between the tread belt and the deck. For this reason, extra care must be used in keeping the belt clean. Use a

soft, damp cloth to remove dust, dirt and other substances from the area between the belt and the side of the machine. Do not clean the

tread belt by turning on the treadmill.

Lubrication

The motor and roller bearings are sealed for maintenance free operation and require no lubrication. The deck and tread belt are lubricated

at the factory.

The side rails are made of steel. Occasionally applying a coat of automotive wax to them will help prevent rusting.

Centering the Tread Belt

To improve belt life, the belt should be reasonably centered. To center the belt, walk on the treadmill at 2.5 mph for a few minutes.

Determine whether the belt drifts too far to the left or right side. If adjustments are required, stop the treadmill and follow the steps listed

below. Never make adjustments while the tread belt is moving.

TIP: If the tread belt is reasonably centered (no closer than 1/8” to the left or right deck shroud) no adjustments are necessary.

Unnecessary adjustments can result in premature belt wear.

CAUTION: Unplug your treadmill before attempting any

cleaning or maintenance.

Step One: (figure 6)

If the belt is drifting to the left, using a 3/16” Allen wrench, turn the

left-hand adjustment bolt (3) a quarter turn clockwise and the

right-hand adjustment bolt (4) a quarter turn counter-clockwise.

If the belt is drifting to the right, using a 3/16” Allen wrench, turn

the right-hand adjustment bolt (4) a quarter turn clockwise and

the left-hand adjustment bolt (3) a quarter turn counter-clockwise.

Step Two:

Walk on the belt for 1 minute, observing belt tracking. If the belt

moves to one side, repeat step 1.
