Before cleaning or carrying out any maintenance on your treadmill, ensure the power is turned off
and the power cord removed from the plug socket.
At least once a year, the motor cover on your treadmill should be removed and any dust or debris
vacuumed up to maintain the smooth operation of the motor and drive system. Contact the Elite
Fitness Service Department for further information on servicing your treadmill.
CLEANING
General cleaning the unit will greatly prolong the treadmills working life.
Keep the treadmill clean by dusting regularly. Be sure to clean the exposed parts of the deck
surface on both side of the walking belt and also the side rails. Make sure the soles of your shoes
are clean , This reduces the build up of foreign material underneath the running belt. The top of
the belt can be cleaned with a wet, soapy cloth. Be careful to keep liquid away from the electrical
components and underneath the running belt.
This treadmill’s running belt and deck are equipped with a pre-lubricated, low maintenance deck
system. The belt/ deck friction may play a major role in the function and life of your treadmill, thus
requiring periodic lubrication. We recommend a periodic inspection of the deck.
We recommend lubrication of the deck according to the following timetable
—
Light user (less than 3 hours/ week) annually
—
Medium user (3-5 hours/ week) every six months
—
Heavy user (more than 5 hours/ week) every three months
Treadmill lubricating oil can be purchased from your nearest Elite Fitness store or our Service
Department.
—
In order to maintain and prolong the working life of your treadmill, we suggest you power off
the treadmill for 10 minutes after every 2 hours of running use.
—
A loose running belt may slip when you are running and may require a small adjustment; if the
running belt is over tightened it can affect the performance of the motor and add extra wear
to the rollers. For ideal tension, the running belt can be lifted 50-75mm from the central part
of the running deck.
