Treadmill

XT685

Your treadmill uses a very high-efcient low-friction hard waxed deck. Performance is maximized

when the deck is kept as clean as possible. Use a soft, damp cloth, or paper towel, wipe the edge

of the belt and the area between the belt edge and the frame. Also reach as far as practical

directly under the belt edge. This should be done once a month to extend belt and deck life. A

mild soap and water solution along with a nylon scrub brush will clean the top of the textured

belt. Allow to dry before using.

The low maintenance (routine monthly cleaning), dual sided hard wax deck is designed to

withstand up to 20,000 miles on each side. If the original side of the deck shows signicant wear,

it needs to be ipped. Contact your service technician for assistance. Do not apply any

type of lubricant or wax to the surface.

General Maintenance

Belt/Deck

Tread-belt Tension Adjustment - Belt tension is not critical for most users. It is very important

though for joggers and runners in order to provide a smooth, steady running surface.

Adjustment must be made from the rear roller with the 6mm Allen wrench provided in the parts

package. The adjustment bolts are located at the end of the step rails as shown in the diagram

below.

Tighten the rear roller only enough to prevent slippage

at the front roller. Turn the tread-belt tension adjusting

bolts 1/4 turn each and inspect for proper tension by

walking on the belt and making sure it is not slipping or

hesitating with each step. When an adjustment is made

to the belt tension, you must be sure to turn the bolts

on both sides evenly or the belt could start tracking to

one side instead of running in the middle of the deck.

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.
