Treadmill Maintenance Guide
MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE..........
LOOK AFTER YOUR TREADMILL & SAVE ££’s
Regular maintenance and safety checks extends the lifespan of your
treadmill and ensures safe operation:
BEFORE EVERY USE:
1. Always inspect the safety key to ensure that it stops the treadmill when pulled away from the display.
2. Check and tighten any loose screws / fittings. Even under normal use, fittings may come loose so
always check to ensure everything is tight. Loose fittings may cause excessive wear / increase the
chance of injury.
3. Check the power cable for damage and replace if necessary.
4. Wipe down the outer surfaces of the treadmill with a clean damp lint free cloth. Make sure the cloth
is only damp and not soaked. Do not use any strong cleaning chemicals i.e alcohol based products
and never spray any liquids directly on to your treadmill.
ONCE A MONTH:
1. Perform the basic daily checks listed above.
2. Inspect the running belt for excessive wear. Contact your retailer if the belt looks damaged.
3. Check the belt and adjust the tension / alignment if necessary. Refer to the user manual or mainte-
nance instructions within this guide and DO NOT overtighten.
3-4 MONTHS:
1. Perform both the basic daily & monthly checks listed above.
2. Lubricate the running surface with the lubricant provided. Alternatively you can purchase a good
quality treadmill lubricant (silicone spray) online. Lubricant goes between the under side of the
belt and the running surface. Please refer to the user manual or maintenance instructions within
this guide and DO NOT over lubricate the running surface or use lubricant on the side you stand
on.
EVERY 6 MONTHS:
1. Perform all the daily, monthly and quarterly checks listed above.
2. Power off the treadmill and allow a few minutes for the unit to discharge before removing the
power cable. Now remove the motor cover (shown in the components guide section). DO NOT
touch any electrical components to prevent the risk of shock or damage to the treadmill. Use a
vacuum cleaner to carefully remove any dust. Be careful not to knock any parts while cleaning and
do not use any liquids. A vaccum cleaner is sufficient to clean the internal parts.
3. Inspect the motor belt for wear / damage. If the belt looks cracked or frayed then contact your
retailer for a replacement. The motor belt should easily last a year under normal use.
