Like cars, fitness products require maintenance. Regular maintenance extends product
life, and failure to maintain products can void the manufacturer's warranty. Copy the
maintenance log sheet, and record maintenance work for each fitness product.
Daily tasks
1. Use a clean, lint-free towel, dampened with a mixture of Simple Green® all-purpose
cleaner and water, to thoroughly clean the product exterior.
2. Inspect parts for looseness, and secure all loose screws. Make sure that the product
is safe for operation. If safety issues arise, place an “Out of Order” sign on the
product, and call for service.
3. Make sure the machine is working properly.
Monthly tasks
1. Inspect walk belt alignment. The walk belt should rotate in the middle of the deck,
without tending to one side or the other. Adjust alignment if necessary. Inspect the
walk belt for wear. The bottom should be smooth and well lubricated. The top should
have no tears or cracks. Apply SportsArt Liquid Silicone lubricant. Replace the walk
belt as necessary.
Quarterly tasks
1. Inspect the walk deck for wear. The surface of the deck should be smooth, without
cracks or grooves. Wipe the deck clean. If necessary, flip the deck to wear the other
side, or replace the deck as needed.
2. Inspect the rotation of rollers on walk belt guides. They should spin freely.
3. Inspect the front roller for normal rotation. It should spin freely, without excessive
noise. Clean the roller as needed.
4. Inspect the rear roller for normal rotation. It should spin freely, without excessive
noise. Clean the roller as needed.
5. Remove dust and debris inside the motor compartment. Follow safety precautions,
and then vacuum around components to keep them clean and cool.
Yearly tasks
1. Inspect the drive belt once a year. Replace the drive belt once every three years.
Replace Silicone lubricant every 40000km.
