MAINTENANCE
WHAT KIND OF ROUTINE MAINTENANCE IS REQUIRED?
We use sealed bearings throughout our treadmill so lubrication is not needed. The most important
maintenance step is to simply wipe your perspiration off the treadmill after each use.
HOW DO I CLEAN MY TREADMILL?
Clean with soap and water only. Never use solvents on plastic parts.
Cleanliness of your treadmill and its operating environment will keep maintenance problems and
service calls to a minimum. For this reason, we recommend that the following preventive
maintenance schedule be followed.
AFTER EACH USE (DAILY)
Turn off the treadmill with the on/off switch, and unplug the power cord from the wall outlet.
WARNING!
To remove power from the treadmill, the power cord must be disconnected from the wall outlet.
•
Wipe down the running belt, deck, motor cover, and console casing with a damp cloth. Never use
solvents, as they can cause damage to the treadmill.
•
Inspect the power cord. If the power cord is damaged, contact Sears.
•
Make sure the power cord is not underneath the treadmill or in any other area where it can
become pinched or cut.
•
Check the tension and alignment of the running belt. Make sure that the treadmill belt will not
damage any other components on the treadmill by being misaligned.
EVERY WEEK
Clean underneath the treadmill, following these steps:
•
Turn off the treadmill with the on/off switch, then unplug the power cord at the wall outlet.
•
Fold the treadmill into the upright position, making sure that the lock latch is secure.
•
Move the treadmill to a remote location.
•
Wipe or vacuum any dust particles or other objects that may have accumulated underneath the
treadmill.
•
Return the treadmill to its previous position.
EVERY MONTH
•
Inspect all assembly bolts of the machine for proper tightness.
•
Remove the motor cover and clean the motor and lower board area to eliminate any lint or dust par-
ticles that may have accumulated. Failure to do so may result in premature failure of key electrical com-
ponents.
EVERY YEAR
•
It may be necessary to rewax your treadmill running deck and belt once a year to maintain optimal
performance of your treadmill. Please contact Sears with questions about applying wax to your
treadmill. Warning! Only use wax provided by Sears
!
•
Lubricate the air shocks with teflon based spray.
