NOTE: Do not spray cleaning solution directly on the treadmill. Direct spraying could cause
damage to the electronics and may void the warranty.
! WARNING: To prevent electrical shock, be sure that power is shut off and the treadmill
is unplugged from the electrical outlet before performing any cleaning or
maintenance procedures.
After Each Use — Wipe up any liquid spills immediately. After each workout, use a cloth to
wipe up any remaining perspiration from the handrails and painted surfaces.
Be careful not to spill or get excessive moisture between the edge of the display panel and
the console, as this might create an electrical hazard or cause failure of the electronics.
As Needed — Vacuum any dust or dirt that might accumulate under or around the treadmill.
Motors are especially susceptible to dust and dirt, and restricted airflow can prevent adequate
cooling that could shorten motor life. Cleaning this area should be done as often as indicated
in the
Service Schedule.
! WARNING: Keep wet items away from inside parts of the treadmill. Electrical shock
could occur even if the treadmill is unplugged. Do not touch components
on the lower board. A charge can remain after unplugging the power cord
and turning off the treadmill.
To clean the motor components, you must loosen the six Phillips head screws that hold the
motor cover in place. Lift the cover straight up; the screws and side covers will stay in place.
Use a vacuum attachment or hand vacuum to clean the exposed elevation assembly, drive
motor, lower electronics and the surrounding areas.
Also use a dry cloth for the areas that you can't reach with the vacuum cleaner. If the machine
has not been used for some time or is excessively dirty, use a
dry cloth to wipe all exposed
areas. Replace the cover and tighten the screws when finished.
Lift the rear of the treadmill and roll it back from its present position so as to vacuum the floor
area underneath the unit. Wipe clean the underside of the treadmill to prevent dirt and dust
build-up. When finished, return the treadmill to its normal position.
Contact Heart Rate Grips — Contaminants, such as hand lotions, oils or body powder, may
come off on the contact heart rate grips. These can reduce sensitivity and interfere with the
heart rate signal. It is recommended that the user have clean hands when using the contact
heart rate. Clean the grips using a cloth dampened with a cleaning solution containing alcohol.
The grips are the only part of the treadmill you should use a cleaning solution containing alcohol.
Running Belt Maintenance
Belt and Deck — Clean the belt and the deck surfaces to minimize the effect of friction
between the wood deck and the running belt. Clean the underside of the running belt and the
top of the running deck surface by wiping them with a clean dry towel. This should be done
