MAINTENANCE

Cleanliness  of  your  treadmill  and  its  operation  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)

Clean and inspect, following these steps:

•  Turn off the treadmill with the on/off switch, then unplug the power cord at 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 Horizon Fitness.

•  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.

•  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 - IMPORTANT!

•  Turn off the treadmill with the on/off switch, then unplug the power cord at the wall outlet.

•  Inspect all assembly bolts of the machine for proper tightness.

•  Turn off the treadmill and wait 60 seconds.

•  Wait until ALL LED lights turn off. 

•  Remove screws holding motor cover to the frame. Remove the lower mast bolts in order to slide the motor cover 

upwards. While sliding the motor cover up the masts, be careful not to scratch the paint. Prop up the motor cover  

to continue.

•  Clean the motor and lower board area to eliminate any lint or dust particles that may have accumulated. Failure to 

do so may result in premature failure of key electrical components.

• Vacuum and wipe down the belt with a damp cloth. Vacuum any black/white particles that may accumulate around 

the unit. These particles may accumulate from normal treadmill use.

EVERY 6 MONTHS OR 10 MILES

It is necessary to lubricate your treadmill running deck every six months 

or 150 miles to maintain optimal performance of your treadmill. Once the 

treadmill reaches 150 miles, the console will prompt you to lubricate the 

treadmill. Only use lubricant provided by Horizon Fitness! 

• 

TURN  OFF  THE  TREADMILL

  with  the  on/off  switch,  then  unplug  the 

power cord at the wall outlet.

•  Loosen both the rear roller bolts. (For best results, place two removable 

marks  on  both  sides  of  the  frame  and  note  roller  position).  Once 

the belt is loosened, take the bottle of lubricant and apply it to the 

entire top surface of the running deck. Tighten both rear roller bolts 

(matching up the marks for proper position) to original position. After 

you have applied lubricant, plug in the power cord, insert the safety 

key, start the treadmill and walk on the belt for two minutes to spread 

the lubricant.

• Once lubrication is complete, reset the console by pressing and holding 

‘STOP’ and Speed ‘+’ buttons for 5 seconds.

Please contact Horizon Fitness with questions about applying lubricant to your treadmill.
