Crucially, the running belt requires consistent attention. Clean it regularly with a soft cloth to remove dust and debris; Every six months, lubricate the belt with a silicone-based lubricant (specifically designed for treadmills) to reduce friction and prevent wear. Avoid using oil or water-based lubricants.
Periodically check the belt’s tension and adjust if necessary (refer to the ‘Belt Adjustment Procedures’ section). Inspect the deck for any signs of damage. Proper maintenance prevents costly repairs and guarantees a smooth, enjoyable workout experience. Always unplug the treadmill before performing any maintenance tasks.
Belt Adjustment Procedures
Maintaining proper belt tension is crucial for optimal treadmill performance and user safety on your Weslo Cadence G 5.9. If the belt slips during use, or feels loose, adjustment is necessary. Locate the rear roller adjustment bolts – typically found at the back of the treadmill.
Using the provided Allen wrench, turn both bolts clockwise in small, equal increments. After each adjustment, test the belt by walking or running on it. Continue adjusting until the slippage stops. If the belt is too tight, it will strain the motor and cause wear.
To loosen the belt, turn the adjustment bolts counter-clockwise in small, equal increments. Always ensure both sides are adjusted equally to prevent the belt from drifting to one side. Regularly check belt alignment and tension to prolong the treadmill’s lifespan and ensure a safe, comfortable workout. Unplug the treadmill before making any adjustments.
