Care and Maintenance
The following section describes necessary maintenance for your PaceMaster treadmill. This maintenance is the responsibility of the
purchaser and is not covered under our warranty. Failure to perform this necessary maintenance could result in damage to your treadmill.
CAUTION:
Be sure to unplug your treadmill before attempting any cleaning or maintenance.
Deck and Tread Belt Cleaning
The running belt on your PaceMaster treadmill rides on a low friction deck. Proper operation will be jeopardized if any water, dirt, solvents,
fluids or abrasive materials come between the tread belt and the deck. For this reason, extra care must be used in keeping the belt clean.
Use a soft, damp cloth to remove dust, dirt and other substances from the portion of the deck that is not covered by the belt. Do not clean the
tread belt by turning on the treadmill.
Lubrication
The motor and roller bearings are sealed for
maintenance free
operation and
require no lubrication
. The deck and tread belt are
lubricated at the factory and are also
maintenance free. Any attempt to lubricate underneath the running belt will result in damage,
especially if silicone or any other lubricant is used.
The side rails are made of steel. By occasionally applying a coat of automotive wax to them will help prevent rusting.
Centering the Tread Belt
To improve belt life, the belt should be reasonably centered between the side covers. To center the belt, walk on the treadmill at 2.5 mph for
a few minutes. Determine whether the belt drifts too far to the left or right side. If adjustments are required, stop the treadmill and follow the
steps listed below. Never make adjustments while the tread belt is moving.
WARNING
:
Never make any unnecessary adjustments.
CAUTION:
The power must be turned off before making adjustments.
Step One:
If the belt is drifting to the left, using a 3/16” Allen
wrench, turn the left-hand adjustment bolt (1) a quarter
turn clockwise and the right-hand adjustment bolt (2) a
quarter turn counter-clockwise.
If the belt is drifting to the right, using a 3/16” Allen
wrench, turn the right-hand adjustment bolt (2) a quarter
turn clockwise and the left-hand adjustment bolt (1) a
quarter turn counter-clockwise.
Step Two:
Walk on the belt for 1 minute, observing belt tracking.
If the belt moves to one side, repeat step 1.
Wireless Chest Strap Transmitter
Clean the transmitter with mild soap and water after every use. Do not use abrasives, such as steel wool, or chemicals or alcohol, as it will
cause permanent damage to the electrodes. To extend battery life, do not store transmitter wet. The transmitter battery has an estimated
life of 2 years. When the transmitter battery is depleted, contact your
local PaceMaster dealer where you purchased your treadmill or
Polar
(800-290-6330) for a replacement.
