Chapter 6: Care & Maintenance
Care & Maintenance
It is important to perform the minor maintenance tasks described in this section. Failure to maintain the
treadmill as described here could void the Warranty. To reduce the risk of electrical shock, always unplug the
unit from its power source before cleaning or performing any maintenance tasks.
Inspection:
Inspect the treadmill daily. Look and listen for loose fasteners, unusual noises, worn or frayed power cords, and
any other indications that the equipment may be in need of service. If you notice any of these, obtain service.
IMPORTANT: If you determine that the treadmill needs service, make sure that the treadmill cannot be used
inadvertently. Turn the unit Off, and then let users know that the treadmill needs service.
Cleaning the Equipment:
MOBILITY RESEARCH recommends the treadmill be cleaned before and after each workout. Use mild soap and
water to dampen a soft cloth and wipe all exposed surfaces. This helps remove any dust or dirt.
Clean the display console regularly with mild soap and water or a mild household cleaner. DO NOT use paper
towels, ammonia or acid based cleaners. *
CAUTION: Do not use any acidic cleaners. Doing so will weaken the paint or powder coatings and may void the
Warranty. Never pour water or spray liquids on any part of the treadmill. Allow the treadmill to dry completely
before using. Frequently vacuum the floor underneath the unit to prevent the accumulation of dust and dirt,
which can affect the smooth operation of the unit.
*When cleaning the exterior of the unit, a non-abrasive cleaner and soft cotton cloth are strongly recommended. At no time should cleaner be
applied directly to any part of the equipment; use nonabrasive cleaner of soft cloth and then wipe the unit.
Long Term Storage:
When the treadmill is not in use for any length of time, turn it off. Make sure the power cord is unplugged from
the power source and position the power and data cords so that they will not become damaged or interfere
with people or other equipment.
TREADBELT LUBRICATION
For average use of the treadmill, we recommend you lubricate under the tread belt once per year. For heavy
use, which is more than 10 hours per week, we recommend that you lubricate every six months. Contact
MOBIITY REASEARCH for purchase of lubrication. Only use lubrication provided by MOBILITY RESEARCH.
