5. My treadmill needs maintenance or repair. Who should I contact? Your selling dealer will perform the service or direct you to an authorized service provider in your area.
6. What are the power requirements for Landice treadmills?
Landice recommends a 110 volt 15 amp (HOME and LTD) or 220 volt 15 amp (CLUB) dedicated line per treadmill. In addition, extension cords, surge protectors, and ground fault protected outlets should not be used.
7. Is there anything to consider when selecting a location for a treadmill?
In home usage, you want to be sure to leave 18" of clearance on each side and 4’ of clearance to the rear of the treadmill. Keep the power cord away from heated surfaces.
8. How should I clean my treadmill?
We recommend that you vacuum around and underneath the treadmill on a monthly basis. Your treadmill will also look better much longer if you wipe the sweat off after each workout. A soft sponge or towel dampened moistened with water is best for the finish, but if necessary a mild, diluted dish soap can be used on the tough spots (use only Non-Phosphate cleaner.) Never use any cleaning agents on the walking deck. You can wipe down the exposed edges of the deck with a dry paper towel to remove the grime but do not clean the portion covered by the walking belt.

TREADBELT TRACKING AND TENSIONING
|
Treadmill Tracking
(click here to watch the video)
TRACKING
The Treadbelt is tracked by means of two adjustment bolts (9/16" wrench) located at rear of treadmill. By tightening the side the belt is closest to and loosening the opposite side by the same amount, you change the alignment of the rear roller without changing overall tension. Adjustments should be made with treadmill running, and should be made in 1/4-turn increments. Allow at least 30 seconds for treadbelt to stabilize between each adjustment. Perform the adjustments at slower speeds (2-3 mph) until you are comfortable making adjustments. Faster speeds will cause the adjustments to take effect quicker (5-6 mph).
Example: Treadbelt tracks to the right:
a. Turn treadmill on, and bring speed up to 4.0 mph.
b. Using a 9/16" wrench, tighten the right-hand adjustment bolt 1/4" turn.
c. Loosen the left-hand adjustment bolt 1/4" turn.
d. Let Treadbelt stabilize (rotate for 30 seconds) and readjust if necessary.
TENSIONING
Treadbelts are tensioned at the factory and normally need no adjustment. To determine if treadbelt needs to be adjusted perform the following test:
1. Remove motor cover.
2. Set treadmill speed to 2mph.
3. Walk on treadbelt and see if drive roller is turning but belt is not moving. If belt is not moving then tension treadbelt ONLY until belt ceases to slip.
The same adjustment bolts used for tracking TENSION the Treadbelt. To tighten Treadbelt, turn both adjustment bolts (clockwise) exactly the same amount. Failure to turn them equally will affect belt tracking. You are moving the rear roller closer or further away from the deck to tension the Treadbelt.
DO NOT OVER TIGHTEN TREADBELT! If you can't reach the palm of your hand under the center of the Treadbelt, if the edges of the belt are curled up, or if you hear the belt “groaning” THE TREADBELT IS TOO TIGHT.

DRIVE BELT TENSIONING
|
Drive Belts are pretensioned before the treadmill leaves the factory. Adjustments are ONLY necessary when Drive Belt is slipping during use.
To test for tightness:
1. Remove motor cover.
2. With mill running at 2mph walk on treadbelt.
3. If Drive Belt is moving front roller with no slippage then drive belt is correctly tensioned.
Check the tension on the Drive Belt by placing the Drive Belt between your thumb and forefinger and twisting.
|
WARNING: UNPLUG TREADMILL FROM WALL!!
TOUCHING BELT WHILE TREADMILL IS RUNNING WILL RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY.
|
Check Drive Belt tension
The proper twist is 45º. If the belt needs to be adjusted use a 7/16” socket and turn the
bolt underneath the motor pan attached to the hook screw.
CAUTION: NEVER OVERTENSION THE DRIVE BELT. TIGHTEN ONLY UNTIL SLIPPING STOPS. OVER TIGHTENING MAY CAUSE SERIOUS DAMAGE TO THE DRIVE MOTOR AND WILL VOID THE MOTOR’S WARRANTY. |

COMMERCIAL TREADMILL MAINTENANCE
|
Once a week or as needed:
1. Wipe down display with a mild solution of Non-Phosphate cleaner on damp soft cotton. Cloth should be damp, not wet. Once a week or as needed.
2. Wipe down handrails and traction strips with soft cotton cloth and mild soap and water. Cloth should be damp not wet. Once a week or as needed.
3. Vacuum or wipe down the deck area between treadbelt and frame. Once a week.
Once a Month:
1. Unplug treadmill. Let it sit for 10 minutes. Take off motor cover and vacuum inside the motor area, being very careful not to directly touch the static-sensitive electronics.
2. Slide clean towel under Treadbelt and wipe deck and under the belt. Rotate belt 180º and repeat.
3. SlipCote under Treadbelt.
4. Check Drive Belt Tension
5. Check Treadbelt Tension and Tracking
Every Six Months:
1. Check Motor Brushes for wear. Dress Commutator if needed.
INSTRUCTIONS FOR LUBRICATING L-SERIES INSTITUTIONAL
TREADMILLS WITH SLIPCOTE
SlipCote lubricant is designed to reduce friction between the treadbelt and deck. It is required for all institutional treadmills. Proper and timely application of SlipCote will prevent premature failures due to excessive wear and load. Items affected by inadequate lubrication are the treadbelt, deck, motor, and motor controller.
When to lubricate:
Landice L-Series institutional treadmills should be lubricated on a monthly basis.
How to lubricate:
Only use SlipCote by Landice. Most standard greases, waxes, and silicon sprays will build up on the deck and rollers and have an adverse effect on the longevity of the treadmill.
Using a large syringe, such as a turkey baster, squirt 1/2 tube full of SlipCote underneath the center of the Treadbelt (1/2 Ounce). If you’re using our SlipCote packets, empty the entire contents of the packet underneath the center of the Treadbelt.
Walk for 1 minute on the treadmill at a speed of 1.0 mph. This will moisten about an 8"
track underneath the center of the entire Treadbelt.
Note: Do not get Slipcote on TOP of Treadbelt. This will make Treadbelt very slippery and treadmill dangerous to use. We recommend using rubbing alcohol applied to a sponge to remove any Slipcote on the Treadbelt.
Cleaning Treadbelt Walking Surface:
Treadbelts can become dirty and unsightly when users track dirt onto them. If vacuuming doesn’t remove dirt, we recommend the use of a medium stiff nylon bristle brush to remove dirt trapped in treadbelt surface. A damp (not wet!) sponge can be used to finish the cleaning process.

INSTITUTIONAL DRIVE MOTOR MAINTENANCE
|
Yearly Institutional Maintenance
Replace the Drive Motor Brushes. Failure to do so will result in premature Drive Motor failure.
1. Unplug Treadmill.
2. Remove Motor Brush caps (2).
3. Remove Motor Brushes and inspect. They should be replaced if 1/4 inch or less. Inspect motor Commutator for wear (Black-scoring present on copper segments). Try to dress out (clean up) Commutator with a Commutator stone or emery cloth.
4. When you reinstall motor brushes make sure the brush does not bind up in its
holder. The motor brush must move freely the full length with zero resistance. If
resistance is present you must carefully dress out the brush until the correct
tolerance is achieved.
Motor brushes should be checked every 6 months on institutional treadmills.
