Maintenance Instructions
15
WARNING! Before performing any maintenance to your treadmill, always unplug the power cord from
the surge protector.
CLEANING
Routine cleaning of your Keys Fitness treadmill will extend the life of your treadmill. WARNING! To
prevent electrical shock, be sure the power to the treadmill is OFF and the unit unplugged from the wall
electrical outlet before attempting any cleaning or maintenance.
AFTER EACH WORKOUT: Wipe off the console and other treadmill surfaces with a clean, water
dampened soft cloth to remove excess perspiration. USE NO CHEMICALS.
WEEKLY: Use of a treadmill mat is recommended for ease of cleaning. Dirt from your shoes contacts
the belt and eventually makes it to underneath the treadmill. Vacuum underneath treadmill once a week.
DECK LUBRICATION
The walking belt has been pre-lubricated at the factory. However, it is recommended that the walking
board be checked periodically for lubrication to ensure optimal treadmill performance.
Every 30 days or 30 hours of operation, lift the sides of the walking belt and feel the top surface of the
walking board as far under as you can reach. If you feel signs of silicone, no further lubrication is
required. If it feels dry to the touch, follow the instructions below.
KEYS recommends “Lube N Walk” for cleaning and lubricating the treadmill belt and deck. Ask your
retailer or call KEYS at 800-340-0482. You may also use silicone such as “Napa 8300” (available at most
stores).
TO APPLY LUBRICANT TO THE WALKING BOARD
1) Position the walking belt so that the seam is located on top and in the center of the center of the walk-
ing board.
2) Insert the spray nozzle into the spray head of the lubricant can.
3) While lifting the side of the walking belt, position the spray nozzle between the walking belt and the
board approximately 6” from the front of the treadmill. Apply the silicone spray to the walking board,
moving from the front of the treadmill to the rear. Repeat this on the other side of the belt. Spray
approximately 4 seconds on each side.
4) Allow the silicone to ‘set’ for one minute before using the treadmill.
WARNING: Do not over-lubricate the walking board. Excess lubricant should be wiped off with a clean
towel.
