Walking Belt Electrostatic Reduction
This procedure provides important instructions on how to apply
anti-static spray to the walking belts on your TreadClimber ®
machine. This will reduce static electric charges caused by the
movement of the walking belts.
Do not operate where aerosol products are being used.
Read and understand all Warnings for the anti-static spray
in the product information from the manufacturer.
Tools
• 3/16” Hex Key
• Anti-static spray—aerosol (for example, Static Guard ® spray)
or liquid pump-spray
1. Unplug the machine from the wall.

IMMEDIATE ACTION REQUIRED
C A U T I O N
To reduce the risk of electrical shock,
always unplug the power cord from the
wall outlet and/or the machine, and wait 5
minutes before cleaning, maintaining or
repairing the machine. Place the power
cord in a secure location.
2. Loosen the tension adjustment bolts for the walking
belts to let the belts slide easily. Turn the bolts
counterclockwise to decrease the tension. See Figure 1.
3. Carefully apply the anti-static spray to cover the top
surface of the walking belt farthest from the motor. See
Figure 2.
NOTICE: Hold the spray dispenser approximately 6” (13 cm)
above the walking belt and point the spray away
from the motor. Keep the spray only on the belt, not
on the deck or mechanism. If spray goes off the
belt, wipe the excess spray off the other parts of
the machine.
4. Using your leg, manually advance the walking belts to
the next unsprayed section of belt.
5. Do steps 3 and 4 again until all sections of the belts are
coated with anti-static spray.
6. Wait until the belt dries fully (approximately 2-4 hours).
7. Tighten the tension adjustment bolts for the walking
belts. Turn the bolts clockwise to increase the tension.
See Figure 1.
8. Plug in the machine and turn on the power.
9. Inspect the walking belt alignment and tension before
using the machine. Refer to “Walking Belt Adjustment”
in this manual.

Note: Repeat the procedure to apply anti-static
spray if static electric discharge occurs
again. The machine will accumulate
more static electric charge when the
surrounding air is drier. Be sure to obey
the manufacturer safety instructions for
the anti-static product.
