MAINTENANCE
BELT LUBRICATION
Lubricating the running belt will ensure superior
performance and extend service life. After the first 25 hours
of use (or 2 to 3 months) apply some lubricant, and repeat
for every following 50 hours of use (or 5 to 8 months) or
more frequently if under extended regular usage.
How to check running belt for proper lubrication: Lift one
side of the running belt and feel the top surface of the
running deck. If the surface is slick to the touch, then no
lubrication is required. If the surface is dry to the touch,
apply some lubricant.
How to apply lubricant
1.
Lift one side of running belt.
2.
Pour several drops of the supplied lubricant to the top surface of the running deck, under the centre of the
running belt.
3.
Run the equipment at a slow speed for 3 to 5 minutes to evenly distribute lubricant.
NOTE
Do not over lubricate. Wipe away any excess lubricant from the running belt.
BELT ALIGNMENT AND TENSION ADJUSTMENT
The running belt is pre-adjusted to the running deck at the factory, but after prolonged use it can stretch and require
re-tensioning. To adjust the belt, turn on the main power switch of the equipment and let the belt run at a speed of
6km/h. Use the Allen key provided to turn the rear roller adjustment bolts to center the belt.
If the running belt is shifting to the left, turn
the left adjustment bolt to the right, and the
running belt should start to correct itself. If the
running belt is shifting to the right, then turn
the right adjustment bolt to the left, and the
belt should start to correct itself. Keep turning
the adjustment bolts until the running belt is
properly centered.
If the running belt is slipping during use, turn off
and unplug the equipment. Using the Allen key
provided,
turn both left and right rear roller adjustment
bolts to the right, then turn the main power
switch back on and run the equipment at a
speed of 6km/h. Run on to the running belt to
determine if the belt is still slipping. Repeat this
procedure until the belt no longer slips.
