Star Trac strongly recommends performing regular preventive maintenance on your
STAR TRAC E SERIES TREADMILL
. Without reg-
ularly scheduled maintenance, normal wear and tear may cause cumulative effects, such as misalignment or premature wear. This may
result in downtime. For this reason, we highly recommend following the maintenance schedules.. Additionally, unusual symptoms, such
as display codes and blown circuit breakers, should be reported to
STAR TRAC CUSTOMER SERVICES DEPARTMENT
at (800) 503-
1221, or USA 1-714-669-1660. If any components are found to be worn or damaged, the treadmill should be removed from service until
repairs can be made. Only components supplied or approved by Star Trac shall be used to maintain and/or repair the treadmill.
DAILY MAINTENANCE
I
Remove excessive accumulations of dust, dirt, and other substances by using a clean soft cloth and a non-abrasive liquid cleaner,
such as Formula 409
TM
or FANTASTIK
TM
. Wipe down the display board, handrails, shroud and heart rate grips.
NOTE:
DO NOT spray the cleaner directly onto the display board or heart rate grips. Do not use liquid cleaner under the running
belt.
I
To ensure the longevity of the running belt, clean under the running belt with a soft, dry cloth. To clean, slide the cloth between the
running belt 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.
NOTE:
DO NOT clean the running belt by activating the treadmill.
I
Inspect the running belt for alignment and tension. Do not tighten the running belt every day. If you notice slipping, adjust the run-
ning belt tension using the instructions provided in “Adjustments-Slipping-Running Belt” (later in this chapter), or contact Customer
Services as described at the beginning of this chapter.
I
Ensure the power cord is not under the treadmill and is positioned away from the elevation frame. This will prevent the power cord
from being pinched or from binding up the elevation frame.
WEEKLY MAINTENANCE
I
Vacuum the floor under and around the treadmill. Do so with the treadmill at its maximum elevation or moved to another spot.
NOTE:
Take care not to damage the power cord while vacuuming.
I
Inspect the inside surface of the running belt if the belt fiber are frayed excesively, (it will feel fuzzy to the touch), replace the belt.
NOTE:
Never install a new running belt on a used deck.
I
Inspect the display and handrail screws for security, and retighten if necessary.
I
Inspect the display panel/keypad for wear.
MONTHLY MAINTENANCE
WARNING
: To prevent personal injury, always turn the treadmill off and unplug the power cord before performing maintenance inside
the motor compartment.
I
Remove the motor shroud and vacuum around the motor and its ventilation holes. Avoid bumping or damaging parts normally pro-
tected by the shroud.
