Care, Cleaning & Maintenance
WARNING
Before you perform any care, cleaning, maintenance, repair or similar work on your training device, turn off your
exerciser and remove the power cord. Check before starting the planned work that your exerciser is completely
disconnected and switched off. Only when all work is fully completed and the device is completely re-assem
-
bled, may the training device to be reconnected to the mains and turned on.
Before first use or after a long break from training
Check that the treadmill is safe. There must be no objects on or under the device. Make sure that there is a
continuous film of lubricant (silicone) on the running deck. If this is not the case, then use the enclosed silicone
and apply a lubricant film.
Maintenance & Cleaning Intervals:
After each workout, clean the treadmill with a damp cloth to remove possible perspiration and / or other liquid
residues. Under no circumstances use solvents for this purpose. Dry the cleaned areas thoroughly.
Checking the lubrication of the running belt: once a week
If your regular checks show that there is no longer sufficient lubrication, immediately lubricate and adjust the
check interval accordingly. If the treadmill has a folding mechanism and has been standing upright for a long
time, check whether there is still enough lubricant present.
Check the belt run: once a week
The alignment of the running belt must be checked regularly. Should you notice that the belt is running to one
side, this must be corrected immediately. Please read the corresponding section the guide.
Cleaning the motor compartment: once a month
To clean the motor compartment, remove the motor cover bolts and cover.
ATTENTION
: This work may only be performed when the exerciser is switched off and the power plug is re
-
moved. Vacuum the visible dust with the small nozzle of a vacuum cleaner. Never use detergent or compressed
air under any circumstances.
Checking the mounting materials: once a month
Check the bolts and nuts at least once a month. Tighten it, if necessary.
Why is maintenance of my treadmill so important?
In order for you to enjoy your treadmill for a long time, it is important to do some basic maintenance regularly
and conscientiously. The intervals of this work depend very much on the degree of utilization of the device and
therefore, the specified intervals can be quite short.
What can happen if there is a lack of maintenance?
There is friction between the running belt and the running deck when in use. Any kind of friction means wear and
thus reduces the life of your training device. By lubricating between the board and mat with silicone the friction
is reduced, thus increasing the life of both parts. If the treadmill runs dry the running board gets hot, the surface
of the running board and the running belt may be destroyed. Friction can also lead to a static charge which can
discharge on body contact with the frame. This is not only unpleasant, but can also destroy the electronics of
the treadmill.
Why do I have to clean the motor compartment?
Due to movement of the running belt and ventilation of the motor, the treadmill attracts dust from the environ-
ment. This deposits both under and in the device. At some point, the interior of the device would be so dusty that
it causes a short to electronic components. To avoid this, regular cleaning necessary.
Damage caused by neglect or lack of maintenance and care are excluded from the
Warranty and Guarantee.
Costs for the repair of a non-maintained training device can therefore quickly amount to several hundred euros.
A high price that can be avoided by regular care and maintenance
