TREADMILLS - Continued
Treadmill Bi-Annual Maintenance
1)
Remove wax build-up from the front and rear rollers of the machine (a flat screwdriver or a paint scraper /
putty knife work best) (Figures 9 & 10).
Figure 9
Figure 10
2)
Inspect the underside of the running belt for damage – checking/cracking, glazed surface.
3)
If the belt has damage or wear to it that warrants replacement, please note that the running deck must also be
flipped when a new belt is installed. If the deck has previously been flipped, and no longer has an unused side
available, it needs to be replaced when the new belt is installed. A new belt must ALWAYS be installed to run
on a new deck surface in order to maximize the lifespan of both items.
4)
During normal operating conditions, the running belt replacement and deck service may need to be done every
10,000 miles for T1x and T3x treadmills and 20,000 miles for T5x and T7x treadmills.
5)
T1x, T1xe, T3x, T3x-06, & T3xi-06 UNITS ONLY – Clean the commutator on the drive motor. To do so:
a.
Remove the front motor cover.
b.
Remove the cooling fan from the motor (Figure 11).
c.
Press a commutator stone (available upon request from Matrix Fitness Systems) to the commutator on
the motor (Figure 12) and slowly turn the belt to clean the commutator.
6) T1x, T1xe, T3x, T3x-06, & T3xi-06 UNITS ONLY – Clean the motor brushes, replace if needed.
