MAINTENANCE
CLEANING
The Trojan Marathon 230 Treadmill can be cleaned with a soft cloth and mild detergent. Do not use
abrasives or solvents on plastic parts. Please wipe your perspiration off the Trojan Marathon 230
Treadmill
after each use.
Please inspect all assembly bolts and pedals on the machine for proper tightness before use.
STORAGE
Store the Trojan Marathon 230 Treadmill in a clean and dry environment away from children.
BELT/DECK/ROLLER LUBRICATION
You should apply the lubrication after approximately the first 40 hours of operation. We recommend
lubrication of the deck according to the following timetable:
•
Light use (less than 3 hours per week) every 6 months.
•
Medium use (3-5 hours a week) every 3 months.
•
Heavy use (more than 5 hours per week) every 6-8 weeks.
See below procedures for lubricating:
1.
Use a soft, dry cloth to wipe the area between the belt and deck.
2.
Spread lubricant onto the inside surface of belt and deck evenly (make sure the machine is turned
off and power is disconnected).
3.
Periodically lubricate the front and rear rollers to keep them at the peak performance. If the
treadmill belt/deck/roller is kept reasonably clean it is possible to expect over 1200 hours before
additional re-lubing is necessary.
HOW TO CHECK RUNNING DECK FOR PROPER LUBRICATION
•
Disconnect the main power supply.
•
Fold the Trojan Marathon 230 Treadmill up into the storage position.
•
Feel the back surface of the running mat.
•
If the surface is slick when touched, then no further lubrication is needed.
•
If the surface is dry when touched, apply a suitable silicone lubricant.
•
We recommend you use a silicone based spray to lubricate your Trojan Marathon 230 Treadmill.
This can be purchased from your local sports retailer or a local hardware store.
BELT ADJUSTMENT
It is very important for joggers and runners to provide a smooth, steady running surface. Adjustment
must be made from the right and left rear roller in order to adjust tension with the Hexagonal Wrench
provided in the parts package. The adjustment bolt is located at the end of the rails as noted in diagram
below:
