10 - Maintenance
Before cleaning or maintenance, please pull the power cable from the wall socket
(not from the treadmill)
1. Cleaning:
The treadmill should be kept clean, preferably with a cover over the belt & motor cover.
Clean it every one to two months. When cleaning, open the cover, clean the dust from motor and
sensor and then check if the screws are loose.
If not used for a while make sure you clean the machine prior to use and run machine by itself to
ensure that dust or foreign objects (insects) have not upset the sensor causing over speeding.
2. Shoes:
Shoes should be soft and clean when running.
3. Lubricate running platform:
Lift the running belt slightly and spray a silicon lubricant (any brand) evenly on the running platform
beneath the belt on each side (every five hours of use).
11 – Running Belt Adjustment
The belt will stretch after time, necessitating adjustment. This is a normal function of the treadmill.
Belt tightness is determined by both the user’s weight
and
speed combination. Only adjust the belt to suit the primary user‘s weight at
their normal usage speed – casual user’s differing weight and speed preference may cause the belt to slip.
WARNING - OVERTIGHTENING THE BELT WILL CAUSE DAMAGE TO THE BELT AND MOTOR!
