Treadmill
XT285
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.
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.
Belt Adjustments
The treadmill is designed so that the tread-belt remains reasonably centered while in use. It is
normal for some belts to drift near one side while in use, depending on a user’s gait and if they
favor one leg. But if during use the belt continues to move toward one side, adjustments are
necessary.
SETTING TREAD-BELT TRACKING
An 6mm Allen wrench is provided for this adjustment. Make tracking adjustments on the left side
bolt. Set belt speed at 3 mph. Be aware that a small adjustment can make a dramatic difference
which may not be apparent right away. If the belt
is too close to the left side, then turn the bolt
only a 1/4 turn to the right (clockwise) and wait
a few minutes for the belt to adjust itself.
Continue to make 1/4 turns until the belt
stabilizes in the center of the running deck.
If the belt is too close to the right side, turn the
bolt counter-clockwise. The belt may require
periodic tracking adjustment depending on use
and walking/running characteristics. Some users may affect tracking differently. Expect to make
adjustments as required to center the tread-belt. Adjustments will become less of a maintenance
concern as the belt is used. Proper belt tracking is an owner responsibility common with all
treadmills.
ATTENTION
Damage to the running belt resulting from improper tracking / tension adjustments is not
covered under the Spirit Fitness warranty.
