How to maintain your Apex Treadmill
We usually have two choices in life, with cars we can learn to change our own tyre with the spare if we get a puncture or call the RACV (roadside assistance of your choosing), I always prefer to do what I can when it comes to maintenance and minor repairs at the very least. This treadmill like many does need the odd amount of adjustment and lubrication to keep it running smoothly and efficiently, the main part that needs occasional love is the running/walk belt.
Alignment of the belt is important, keeping it as centred as possible is key, if it goes too far to one side or the other you can hear it scraping which will most likely do damage to the belt if left unattended. The adjustment for keeping the belt centred is with two bolts at the back of the deck, the bolts on the Apex are allen key heads. These bolts also what is used to keep tension on the belt so it doesn't slip or if too tight doesn't put undue load on the treadmill electric motor.

The other thing I need to do on the Apex treadmill is to lubricate the belt, silicone oil is squeezed in between the running belt and the running deck.
