4. MAINTENANCE
Reasonable cleaning/lubricating should be made to extend the life time of this unit. Performance is maximized when
the belt and mat are kept as clean as possible.
WARNING: THE MAT/DECK FRICTION MAY PLAY A MAJOR ROLE IN THE FUNCTION AND LIFE
OF YOUR TREADMILL AND THAT IS WHY WE RECOMMEND YOU CONSTANTLY LUBRICATE
THIS FRICTION POINT TO PROLONG THE USEFUL LIFE OF YOUR TREADMILL. FAILING TO DO
THIS MAY VOID YOUR WARRANTY.
WARNING: UNPLUG POWER CORD BEFORE MAINTENANCE.
WARNING: STOP TREADMILL BEFORE FOLDING.
4.1.
General Cleaning
Use a soft, damp cloth to wipe the edge of the belt and the area between the belt edge and frame. A mild soap
and water solution along with a nylon scrub brush will clean the top of the textured belt. This task should be
done once a month. Allow to dry before using.
On a monthly basis, vacuum underneath your treadmill to prevent dust build up. Once a year, you should
remove the black motor shield and vacuum out dirt that may accumulate.
4.2.
General Care
Check parts for wear before use.
Always replace the mat if worn and any other defective parts.
If in doubt do not use the treadmill and contact our helpline.
TAKE CARE TO PROTECT CARPETS AND FLOOR in case of leakages. This product is a machine that contains
moving parts which have been greased / lubricated and could leak.
4.3. Belt/Deck/Roller Lubrication
The mat/deck friction may play a major role in the function and life of your treadmill and that is why we recommend
you constantly lubricate this friction point to prolong the useful life of your treadmill.
You should apply the lubrication after approximately the first 40 hours of operation. We recommend lubrication of the
deck according to the following timetable:
o
Light use (less than 3 hours per week): every 6 months
o
Medium use (3-5 hours a week): every 3 months
o
Heavy use (more than 5 hours per week): every 6-8 weeks.
See below procedures for lubricating:
1.
Use a soft, dry cloth to wipe the area between the belt and deck.
2.
Spread lubricant onto the inside surface of belt and deck evenly (make sure the machine is turned off and power
is disconnected).
3.
Periodically lubricate the front and rear rollers to keep them at their peak performance.
If the treadmill belt/deck/roller is kept reasonably clean it is possible to expect over 1200 hours before addi tional re-
lubing is necessary.
4.4.
How to check the running mat for proper lubrication
1.
Disconnect the main power supply.
2.
