PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE

Regular maintenance is necessary for optimal performance and long life of the treadmill. Please read and
follow all instructions below. If the treadmill is not maintained as described, components may wear ex-
cessively, the treadmill may be damaged, and the warranty will be voided. 

If you have questions about main-

tenance, please see the front 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 treadmill. 

2. Apply a mild multi-purpose cleaner to a 100% cotton cloth and remove any dust and grime from the handrails,

upright, foot rails, frame, and motor hood. In addition, wipe the walking platform along the sides of the walking
belt. 

Do not wipe under the walking belt.

Apply a small amount of mild multi-purpose cleaner to a 100% cot-

ton cloth and wipe the console and the screens. 

Do not spray cleaner directly onto the treadmill 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 25 and 26.      

MONTHLY MAINTENANCE

1.

Unplug the power cord.

Remove the two 1/4" x 3/4" Bolts

(23) and the two 1/2" x 1" Bolts (37) attaching the Motor Hood
(82), 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 motor belt for wear and cracks. If the motor

belt needs to be replaced, please see the front cover of this
manual.

3. Plug in the power cord and insert the key into the console. Press the Start/Stop button. 

IMPORTANT: Be

careful to avoid injury; keep your hands away from moving parts and make sure that your clothes can-
not become caught in moving parts.

While the walking belt is moving, check the treadmill for unusual

noises or odors. If any of these problems exists, please see the front cover of this manual. 

Remove the key

and unplug the power cord. 

Reattach the Motor Hood (82) with the two 1/4" x 3/4" Bolts (23) and the two 1/2"

x 1" Bolts (37).
