How do I properly lubricate my NordicTrack treadmill?

To properly lubricate a NordicTrack treadmill, one must start by turning off the device and unplugging it from the power source to ensure safety. Before application, one should read the user manual as it contains specific instructions for the model in question. Typically, the process involves loosening or removing the treadmill belt from the deck to provide access to the surface beneath. With a suitable silicone-based lubricant recommended by NordicTrack (or another compatible non-petroleum-based product), apply a thin and even layer across the deck. It is crucial not to over-lubricate, as this may cause damage. Care must be taken to distribute the lubricant across a wide area of the deck. Once applied, securely retighten or reposition the treadmill belt, plug in the machine, and run it at a slow speed for a few minutes to evenly spread the lubricant. Regular maintenance as per manufacturer's guidelines will help ensure optimal performance and longevity of the treadmill.
