Regular maintenance is necessary for optimal performance and long life of the incline trainer. Please
read and follow all instructions below. If the incline trainer is not maintained as described, components
may wear excessively, the incline trainer may be damaged, and the warranty will be voided. If you have
questions about maintenance, please see the back cover of this manual. CAUTION: Make sure to remove the
key and unplug the power cord before performing any maintenance procedures.
WEEKLY MAINTENANCE
1. Unplug the power cord. Inspect and properly tighten all external parts of the incline trainer.
2. Apply a mild multi-purpose cleaner to a 100 percent cotton cloth and remove any dust and grime from the
handrails, uprights, foot rails, frame, and motor hood. In addition, wipe the walking platform along the sides of
the walking belt. Do not use cleaners under the walking belt. Apply a small amount of mild multi-purpose
cleaner to a 100 percent cotton cloth and wipe the console and the screens. Do not spray cleaner directly
onto the incline trainer or use ammonia or acid-based cleaners.
3. Make sure that the walking belt is centered and properly tightened. If it is centered and runs smoothly, do not
make any adjustments. If the walking belt needs to be adjusted, see pages 32 and 33.
MONTHLY MAINTENANCE
1. Unplug the power cord. Remove the Hood Support Screws
(37) attaching the Motor Hood (75), and lift off the Motor
Hood.
2. Using a hand-held vacuum, clean the area under the Motor
Hood (not shown). Be careful to avoid touching any com-
ponents. Check the Drive Motor Belt (82) for wear and
cracks. If the motor belt needs to be replaced, please see the
back cover of this manual.
3. Plug in the power cord and insert the key into the console. Press the START button. Be careful to avoid
injury; keep your hands away from moving parts and make sure that your clothes cannot become
caught in moving parts. While the walking belt is moving, check the incline trainer for unusual noises or
odors. If any of these problems exists, please see the back cover of this manual. Remove the key and un-
plug the power cord. Reattach the Motor Hood (75) with the Hood Support Screws (37).
4. Hold a clean, dry towel between the walking platform and the walking belt. Pull the towel from side to side
along the length of the walking platform. Rotate the walking belt and repeat this step until the entire walking
belt has been cleaned.
