BFE Lubricant for Treadmills & Ellipticals

Keep your treadmill and elliptical in perfect working order with BFE Lubricant. Treadmills: An insufficiently lubricated treadmill deck will cause the belt, running deck and motor to wear out much quicker. How often you should lubricate depends on usage. We recommend the following: Light use (less than 3 hours per week) – every 12-16 weeks Medium use (3 to 5 hours per week) – every 8-12 weeks Heavy use (more than 5 hours per week) – every 4-6 weeks Keeping the treadmill deck lubricated is the most important activity you can carry out to prolong the life of your treadmill. You can check for proper lubrication levels at any time by doing the following: Disconnect the treadmill from the power supply Fold up the running deck, so the treadmill is in the storage position Put your hand underneath the mat and feel along the running deck, as close to the centre of the deck as you can. If your hand gets a light coating of lubricant, then no further lubrication is required If the surface feels dry and your hand feels clean, then apply more lubricant Ellipticals/Cross Trainers: Firstly clean the Aluminium Rails and Wheels thoroughly with a clean soft cloth to remove any grease, dirt or grit. You may need to use rubbing alcohol or something similar if rails and wheels are excessively dirty. Lubricate the rails by applying a small dollop of BFE Lubricant to a soft cloth and running the cloth along the rails. Use the elliptical as you would normally to work the lubricant into the wheels evenly.
