CLEANING & GENERAL MAINTENANCE
• Wipe down the PawRunner after use. Clean only with a slightly damp cloth.
Do not use chemical or solvent cleaners.
• Inspect for visible damage before use. Do not use if damaged or malfunctioning.
• Inspect and tighten all external bolts periodically.
• Only use with the original parts and accessories provided by the manufacturer.
• Never open the motor housing, other than to perform cleaning and
maintenance procedures described in this manual, or unless instructed to do so
by an authorized service representative. Servicing other than the procedures in
this manual should be performed by an authorized service representative only.
• Never insert or drop any object into any opening.
LUBRICATING THE RUNNING BELT
The most important maintenance for a treadmill is regular, timely lubrication and
care and maintenance of the running belt.
• The running belt must be lubricated if a significant increase in friction is noted.
This will be apparent if the belt makes jerking movements during use.
• Insufficient lubrication and the resulting increase in friction will inevitably
lead to an increase in wear and cause damage to the treadmill’s running belt,
deck, motor, and circuit board.
• How often the treadmill is used will generally determine how often you must
perform maintenance. Typically, treadmills will only need to be lubricated
every few months. However, as use-time will vary greatly from pet to pet, we
recommend you keep a maintenance log and set a specific day each week in
the first 6 months of use to check the lubrication of the running belt.
• To check the belt lubrication, lift up the front third of the belt and feel with
your hand for lubrication under the center of the belt. If lubrication is present,
then write “OK” next to the date in your maintenance log. If there is little or no
lubrication present, then lubricate the belt and record in your maintenance book
accordingly. Over time, you will be able to see how often lubrication is needed.
Even if you choose not to keep a maintenance log, you MUST check the
lubrication of the running belt at least once a week.
• If the treadmill is not used for a long period, you must check the lubrication
of the belt before use and lubricate it if necessary.
CAUTION:
Only use the included bottle of silicone maintenance oil to lubricate
the running belt. Do NOT use any other kinds of silicone, lubricants, or silicone
sprays.
HOW TO LUBRICATE THE RUNNING BELT
1. Make sure that the treadmill is switched off, unplugged,
and that the belt is not moving.
2. Open the bottle of silicone maintenance oil. See
Fig. 1
.
3. Lubrication must be applied under the center of the belt.
Lift one side of the belt high enough that you can reach
the center with the end of bottle’s applicator tip. See
Fig. 2
.
4. Apply one line of silicone oil, about 15ml or 3 teaspoons,
under the center of the belt, from the front to the back
of the treadmill. See
Fig. 3
.
5. If too much oil is applied it can lead to the running belt
slipping. If this occurs, use a dry cloth to remove the
excess oil from the running deck and drive rollers with a
dry cloth.
6. After applying the lubrication, let the running belt run
without any load (no pet on the treadmill) at a speed of
2.5 mph for 3 minutes to evenly distribute the silicone oil.
