Life Fitness products are backed by the engineering excellence and reliability of Life Fitness and are one of the most
rugged and trouble-free pieces of exercise equipment on the market today. Commercial Life Fitness equipment are
among the most popular of aerobic trainers in health clubs, colleges and military facilities worldwide.
Note: Safety of the equipment can be maintained only if the equipment is examined regularly for damage or wear. Keep
the equipment out of use until defective parts are repaired or replaced. Pay special attention to parts that are subject to
wear, as outlined below.
The following preventive maintenance tips will keep the Life Fitness product operating at peak performance:
• Locate the product in a cool, dry place.
• Clean the display console and all exterior surfaces with an approved or compatible cleaner (see Life Fitness
Approved Cleaners) and a microfiber cloth.
• Long fingernails may damage or scratch the surface of the console; use the pad of the finger to press the
selection buttons on the console.
• Check operation of the emergency stop system once a week.
• Check the operation of the stop button once a week.
• Inspect and vacuum the area directly surrounding and under the unit regularly.
• Vacuum around the striding belt regularly to keep debris from accumulating.
• Inspect exterior parts regularly for wear, particularly the striding belt, deck and line cord.
• Check to make sure the unit is properly leveled.
• Check the position (centering) of the striding belt.
Note: Normal belt operating position is for the belt to be located within the belt travel indicators on the rear
roller guards as shown in Section 2.1 of the Activate Cardio Series Operation Manual. Refer to Tracking (Center-
ing) A Striding Belt in Section 2.1 of the Operation Manual or contact Life Fitness Customer Support Services for
proper alignment instructions.

Two preferred cleaners have been approved by Life Fitness reliability experts: PureGreen 24 and Gym Wipes. Both clean-
ers will safely and effectively remove dirt, grime and sweat from equipment. PureGreen 24 and the Antibacterial Force for-
mula of Gym Wipes are both disinfectants that are effective against MRSA and H1N1. PureGreen 24 is available in a
spray which is convenient for gym staff to use. Apply the spray to a microfiber cloth and wipe down the equipment. Use
PureGreen 24 on the equipment for at least 2 minutes for general disinfection purposes and at least 10 minutes for fungus
and viral control. Gym Wipes are large, durable pre-moistened wipes to use on the equipment before and after workouts.
Use Gym Wipes on the equipment for at least 2 minutes for general disinfection purposes.
Contact Customer Support Services to order these cleaners (1-800-351-3737 or email: customersupport@lifefitness.com).
