The safety and integrity of this machine can only be maintained when the equipment is regularly examined for
damage and wear and repaired. It is the sole responsibility of the owner of this equipment to ensure that regular
maintenance is performed. Worn or damaged parts must be replaced immediately or the equipment removed
from service until the repair is made.
Some types of PM need to be performed more often than others. The frequency of PM depends a great deal on
the use and environment of the unit. Basic scheduling is shown below, but timeline and PM schedules should
be adapted to the environment and usage that the unit receives. Refer to the OpenHub Manual for further
maintenance information on the console.

Earlier documentation may refer to the moving surface as the ‘running belt’.

To ensure the longevity of the moving surface, clean under the moving surface with a soft, dry cloth. To clean, slide the cloth between the moving
surface and deck from one side of the frame to the other (you may need a ruler or similar tool to slide the towel under the belt), then, holding the edges
of the cloth, pull the cloth from the headroller down to the tailroller.
3
Wipe console with a soft, non-abrasive cloth to remove all sweat after each use. Use a soft, non-abrasive cloth and mild spray cleanser to clean the
console. Never use abrasive cleaning liquids, cleaning liquids with an oil base, ammonia, or alcohol.
4
Ensure the power cord is not under the treadmill and is positioned away from the elevation screws. This will prevent the power cord from being pinched
or from binding up the elevation screws.
5
Inspect the inside surface of the moving surface and the top surface of the running deck for unusual wear. Check the belt for a “glazed” condition (a
smooth almost melted appearance). If the moving surface appears glazed, replace the moving surface and flip or replace the running deck.
NOTE:
Never install a new moving surface on a used deck.
