SAFETY KEY
Your treadmill will not start unless the safety key is placed in position. Attach the clip end securely to
your clothing. This safety key is designed to cut the power to the treadmill if you should fall.
NEVER
USE THE TREADMILL WITHOUT SECURING THE SAFETY KEY CLIP TO YOUR CLOTHING. PULL ON
THE SAFETY KEY CLIP FIRST TO MAKE SURE IT WILL NOT COME OFF YOUR CLOTHING.
MOVING
Your treadmill has a pair of transport wheels built into the frame. To move, make sure the treadmill is
folded and securely latched. Then firmly grasp the handlebars, tilt the treadmill back and roll.
CAUTION!
Our Treadmills are heavy, use care and additional help if necessary when moving. Do not
attempt to move or transport treadmill unless it is in upright, folded position with the lock latch
secured. Failure to follow these instructions could result in injury.
FOLDING
Firmly grasp the back end of the treadmill. Carefully lift the end of the treadmill deck into the upright
position until the foot lock latch engages and securely locks the deck into position. Make sure the deck
is securely latched before letting go. To unfold, firmly grasp the back end of the treadmill. Gently press
down on the foot lock latch with your foot until the lock latch disengages. Carefully lower the deck to
the ground.
MAINTENANCE
Cleanliness of your treadmill and its operation environment will keep maintenance problems and serv-
ice calls to a minumum. 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 Smooth 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 dam-
age 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
•
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.
•
Remove the motor cover and 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.
EVERY 6 MONTHS
It may be necessary to lubricate your treadmill running deck every six months to maintain optimal per-
formance of your treadmill. Only use lubricant provided by Smooth Fitness! Please contact Smooth
Fitness with questions about applying lubricant to your treadmill.
•
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.
