Here’s a comprehensive guide to help you lubricate your JLL treadmill effectively:
Materials Required

Step-by-Step Instructions
1. Locate the Lubrication Points
Identify the lubrication points on your treadmill. Typically, these are located:
- Under the treadmill belt
- On the motor shaft
- On the roller bearings
2. Clean the Lubrication Points
Using a clean cloth or paper towels, wipe away any dirt or debris from the lubrication points. This will ensure that the lubricant adheres properly.
3. Apply Lubricant to the Belt
Lift the treadmill belt and apply a thin layer of lubricant to the underside of the belt. Do not over-lubricate, as this can attract dirt and debris.
4. Lubricate the Motor Shaft
Locate the motor shaft at the back of the treadmill. Apply a drop or two of lubricant to the shaft and rotate it manually to distribute it evenly.
5. Grease the Roller Bearings
The roller bearings are located on the sides of the treadmill deck. Apply a small amount of grease to each bearing using your fingers or a cotton swab.
6. Reassemble the Treadmill
Lower the treadmill belt and reattach any covers or panels that were removed during the lubrication process.
7. Test the Treadmill
Plug in the treadmill and start it up. Walk or run on the treadmill for a few minutes to ensure that it is running smoothly and quietly.
Lubrication Frequency
The frequency of lubrication will vary depending on the model of your treadmill and how often it is used. As a general rule, it is recommended to lubricate your JLL treadmill every three to six months, or more frequently if it is used heavily.
Types of Lubricants
JLL recommends using only JLL Treadmill Lubricant for optimal performance. Other types of lubricants may not be suitable and could damage your treadmill.
Troubleshooting
If you encounter any issues while lubricating your JLL treadmill, here are some troubleshooting tips:
- Belt slipping: Over-lubrication can cause the belt to slip. Wipe away any excess lubricant and re-lubricate as necessary.
- Noisy treadmill: Lack of lubrication can lead to increased noise. Apply lubricant to the appropriate points and re-test the treadmill.
- Difficulty running: If the treadmill feels difficult to run on, it may be under-lubricated. Apply lubricant to the belt and other lubrication points.
