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 mainte-
nance 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 Fitness Gear.
• 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 - 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.
• Remove the motor cover. Wait until ALL LED lights turn off.
• 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 150 MILES
It is necessary to lubricate your treadmill running deck every six months or 150 miles to maintain
optimal performance. Once the treadmill reaches 150 miles, the console will display the message
“LUBE” or LUBE BELT”. The treadmill will not operate while the message is showing. Hold Stop for 5
seconds to suspend message for 5 miles. Your treadmill came with a bottle of lubricant which can be
used for two applications. If you need lubricant, contact Fitness Gear. Only use lubricant provided by
Fitness Gear.
RUNNING BELT
RUNNING DECK
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.
Lubricate the air shocks with Teflon based spray.
Once lubrication is complete, reset the console by
pressing and holding ‘STOP’ and Speed ‘+’ buttons for 5
seconds.Please contact Fitness Gear with questions
about applying lubricant to your treadmill.
