- The need for lubrication is primarily affected by usage and its environment. If the treadmill is mainly used for walking, it needs to be lubricated more often than if used mainly for running. Furthermore, the warmer its environment, the faster the oil evaporates from the surfaces of the track and base.
You should most importantly follow the lubricating instructions given in the manual, keeping the points above in mind. Current Tunturi equipment needs its first lubrication after about 300 hours of normal weekly home use.
Excessive lubrication and "just in case" lubrication are absolutely prohibited; they will cause problems in electrical operation. The treadmill is equipped with an overload protector. This safeguards the motor against any overload (resulting e.g. from a lack of lubrication).
The only certain way to check if lubrication is necessary is to wipe your fingers along the surface of both the track and the base. If you find your fingers are dry, lubrication is obviously needed. But if there is even a thin layer of oil on your fingers, then no lubrication is required. When the treadmill is lubricated, the lubricant should only be applied on an approximately 20 cm wide area along the middle of the track for its whole length.
Please note that the treadmill only shows it needs lubricating in two ways: - the overload protector stops the motor - the track does not move smoothly when walking at a slow pace (2-3 km/h) Any other symptoms or malfunctions do not require extra lubrication.
Tunturi treadmills must be lubricated only with Tunturi T-lube S lubricant.
What is the right way to lubricate a Tunturi treadmill?
- The seat can be replaced in almost all Tunturi upright cycle models, only exceptions are F200 and E604 due to their seat attachment. Some Tunturi models allow replacing the seat without any accessories, models of the 300- and 400-series require an adapter (spare part number 153.1012).
