Wipe

a

clean,

dry

cloth.

Spray

silicone

between

belt

and

the

deck

along

the

length

of

the

exerciser.

(Silicone

can

be

found

at

any

store.)

Do

this

on

both

the

right

and

the

left

sides

of

the

deck.

Be

sure

to

lubricate

the

entire

deck

surface.

CAUTION:

Be

careful

not

to

spray

the

Silicone

on

the

walking

it

would

make
