Care, Cleaning and Maintenance
WARNING
Turn off your training device and remove the plug from the mains before you carry out any maintenance, cleaning, servic
-
ing, repairs or similar on your training device. Check without fail that your device is completely disconnected from the mains
and turned off before you start with any work. Only reconnect your training device back to the mains when all works are
completed and the device has been completely put back together again.
Before re-starting the training device or before starting it back up again after a longer training
break interval
Make sure that the treadmill is standing firmly on the ground. There should be no items on or underneath the device. Check
that there is an even film of lubricant (silicon) on the treadmell deck. If this is not the case, then apply a film of silicon provid
-
ed by the distributor.
Service and Cleaning Intervals:
Clean the treadmill belt each time after training with a damp cloth to remove any sweat and or liquids. Do not use solvents.
Dry off the cleaned areas thoroughly.
Treadmill Belt Lubrication Check: 1 x per Week
If the lubrication is not sufficient, lubricate it immediately and adapt the interval between checks accordingly. The lubrica
-
tion checks require to be done more often at shorter intervals. If the device has a folding mechanism and has been left in a
folded position for a long period of time, check to see if it is lubricated sufficiently.
Belt Track Check: 1 x per Week
The belt track must be checked reularly. If the belt is running off to one side, this should be corrected immediately. Find and
read the appropriate instructions on how to do this in this Manual.
Cleaning the Motor Compartment: 1 x per Month
To clean the motor compartment undo the screws on the motor cover and lift it up.
WARNING: Only do this if the training device is switched off and the plug on the mains cable is removed from the socket.
Remove all visible dust with a small vacuum cleaner nozzle. Do not under any circumstances use any cleaning liquids or
compressed air.
Fixing Materials Check: 1 x per Month
Check the screws, nuts and bolts at least once a month and tighten them if necessary.
Why is maintenance work on my treadmill so important?
In order to have long term enjoyment with your treadmill it is important to carry out some basic maintenance on a regular
and thorough basis. The required intervals depend strongly on how much your training is used. For this reason, the mainte
-
nance may need to be carried out at much shorter intervals than the ones recommended.
What can happen if maintenance works are not done properly?
When in use friction is caused between the treadmill belt and the deck. Any type of friction causes wear and will reduce
the service life of your training device. Friction is reduced by lubricating between the deck and the belt and this in turn will
increase the service life of the treadmill. If the belt is run with too little lubrication, significant heat will be produced on the
running deck. The surface of the deck and the running belt will get damaged. Friction may then become so high that a static
charge may occur and it is highly likely that, if touched, it can be discharged via the frame into the body. This is not only
very unpleasant but it can also destroy the electronic components in the treadmill.
Why do I have to clean the motor compartment?
Movement of the treadmill belt and motor ventilator cause the belt to draw in dust from the enviroment. Dust will gather both
underneath and in the device. At some point so much dust could collect in the device to cause a short-circuit in the electron-
ic components. To avoid this happening, it is necessary to clean the device regularly.
Damages caused by failure or lack of maintenance and care are excluded from the warranty
and guarantee.
The costs of repairing an training device which has not been properly maintained can very quickly amount to several hun-
dred Euro.
A high price which can be avoided by carrying out regular care and maintenance.
Safety Distance
Safety Distance
Select a suitable place to keep your training device with a free safety area space of at least 200 cm long and 100 cm wide
behind the training device. Furthermore, during training, a safety distance down the length of the treadmill with a minimum
width of 100 cm should be kept to the right and/or lefthand side of the treadmill.
What to do in an Emergency
Stop training immediately if you realise that you cannot keep up with the pace, if you start feeling sick or if any other emer-
gency situation arises, pull the safety key out with the string to make an emergency stop.
Hold on firmly with both hands onto the handrails and place your feet on each side of the tread belt.
If you trip during training, hold onto the handrails immediately with both hands, support yourself with your hands and arms
on the handrails and put your feet on the footrails on either side of the belt.
You should practice this several times so that you will know what to do if an emergency situation arises.
Wear the safety key every time you use the treadmill. Make sure that all third parties are familiar with the safety instructions
and that they always use the safety key correctly whilst they are training!
