Care & Maintenance
It is important to perform the minor maintenance tasks described in this section. Failure to maintain the
treadmill as described here could void the TRUE Fitness Warranty. To reduce the risk of electrical shock,
always unplug the unit from its power source before cleaning or performing any maintenance tasks.
Inspection:
Inspect the treadmill daily. Look and listen for loose fasteners, unusual noises, worn or frayed power cords,
and any other indications that the equipment may be in need of service. If you notice any of these, obtain
service.
IMPORTANT:
If you determine that the treadmill needs service, make sure that the treadmill cannot be
used inadvertently. Turn the unit O
ff
, and then unplug the power cord from its power source. Make sure
other users know that the treadmill needs service.
Cleaning the Equipment:
TRUE recommends the treadmill be cleaned before and after each workout. Use mild soap and water to
dampen a soft cloth and wipe all exposed surfaces. This helps remove any dust or dirt.
Clean the display console regularly with mild soap and water or a mild household cleaner. DO NOT use
paper towels, ammonia or acid based cleaners. *
CAUTION:
Do not use any acidic cleaners. Doing so will weaken the paint or powder coatings and may
void the TRUE Fitness Warranty. Never pour water or spray liquids on any part of the treadmill. Allow the
treadmill to dry completely before using. Frequently vacuum the floor unde neath the unit to prevent the
accumulation of dust and dirt
, which can aff
ect the smooth operation of the unit.
*When cleaning the exterior of the unit, a non-abrasive cleaner and soft cotton cloth are strongly
recommended. At no time should cleaner be applied directly to any part of the equipment; use non-
abrasive cleaner of soft cloth and then wipe the unit.
Storing the Chest Strap:
Store the chest strap in a place where it remains free of dust and dirt such as, in a closet or drawer. Be sure
to protect the chest strap from extremes in temperature. Do not store it in a place that may be exposed to
temperatures below 32° F (0° C). To clean the chest strap, use a sponge or soft cloth dampened in mild soap
and water. Dry the surface thoroughly with a clean towel.
Long-Term Storage:
When the treadmill is not in use for any length of time, tur
n it off
. Make sure that the power cord is
unplugged from the power source and is positioned so that it will not become damaged or interfere with
people or other equipment.
