Belt/Deck Lubrication Procedure
First, you want to clean between the belt and deck to remove any debris that may be trapped.
Use a clean, non-fraying rag, t-shirt, or light towel. Halfway between the end of the treadmill and
motor cover, shove the garment under the belt until you can grasp it on both sides of the belt.
Drag the garment the length of the entire belt 1-2 times. Remove the garment.
Do not lubricate with anything other than Spirit Fitness approved lubricant. Your treadmill comes
with one tube of “Lube” and extra tubes can be ordered directly from Spirit Fitness or your
authorized Spirit Fitness dealer. You may also use a Lube-n-Walk kit that can be purchased
through both aforementioned sellers.
Keeping the deck lubricated at the recommended intervals ensures the longest life possible for
your treadmill. If the lubricant dries out, the friction between the belt and deck rises and places
undue stress on the drive motor, drive belt and electronic motor control board, which could
result in catastrophic failure of these expensive components. Failure to lubricate the deck at
regular intervals may void the warranty.
The belt & deck come pre-lubricated and subsequent lubrication should be performed every 180
hours of use or if you notice that the deck is dry. It is recommended that you reach between the
belt and deck to verify there is lubrication present, every other month. If you check and there
isn’t any lubrication present, follow the procedure below even though the “Lube” indicator isn’t
lit on the console. Otherwise, lubricate when the console’s lubrication reminder lights after 180
hours of use. Use the following procedure to apply the silicone lubricant:
1. Turn the power switch off and unplug the power cord from the wall outlet
2. Measure 18” from the edge of the motor cover; kneel down and reach under the belt
approximately 4- 6” from one edge. Squirt a line of lubricant about 1/8” wide x 15” long in
an “S” pattern perpendicular to the motor cover.
3. Repeat the process on the opposite side.
4. Plug the electrical cord back into the outlet and turn the power switch on.
5. Walk on the belt at a moderate speed for ve minutes to evenly distribute the silicone
lube.
6. Note: If the “Lube” message appears on the console, perform the following procedure to
reset the message:
1. To enter the Engineering Mode Menu press and hold down the Start, Stop and Enter
keys, then at the same time insert the safety key. Keep holding the keys down until the
Message Center displays Engineering Mode Menu. Press the Enter button to access
2. Press the Speed + button (or Speed – button to go backwards) until “Functions”
appears; press Enter
3. Press the Speed + button until “Reset Lube” message appears; press Enter
4. Press Stop to exit Engineering mode and resume use of your treadmill
