GENERAL MAINTENANCE
WARNING: Always unplug your treadmill prior to cleaning in order to avoid electrical hazard or
shock.
BELT & DECK
Your treadmill uses a very high-efficient low-friction deck. Performance is maximized when the deck is
kept as clean as possible. Use a soft, damp cloth, or paper towel to wipe the edge of the belt and the
area between the belt edge and the frame. Also reach as far as practical directly under the belt edge.
This should be done once a month to extend belt and deck life. A mild soap and water solution along
with a nylon scrub brush will clean the top of the textured belt. Allow to dry before using.
BELT DUST
This occurs during normal break-in or until the belt stabilizes. Sometimes the black dust from the belt
will appear on the floor behind the treadmill, this is normal.
GENERAL CLEANING
Dirt, dust, and pet hair can block air inlets and accumulate on the running belt. Please vacuum
underneath your treadmill on a monthly basis to prevent excess build-up of dirt that can get sucked up
and get into the inner workings under the motor cover. Once a year, you should remove the black
motor hood and vacuum out dirt that may accumulate. UNPLUG POWER CORD BEFORE THIS TASK.
Cleaning metal surfaces may be accomplished by using a soft cotton or terry cloth rag with a light
application of car wax. Do not use aerosol sprays or pump bottles as they may deposit wax upon the
walking or computer surface. Under no circumstances are you to use ammonia, oils, silicones, or any
other compounds on the rubberized walking surface. The use of such materials may cause serious
injury to the body and/or deteriorate the performance of the walking surface. Only clean the
rubberized walking surface with a damp cloth (water only). From time-to-time the computer surface
may collect dust or finger prints. The use of harsh chemicals will destroy the protective coating and
cause a static build up that will damage the components. This surface may be cleaned with specially
prepared chemicals found in most computer supply stores especially made for anti-static surfaces. It is
strongly recommended that you purchase such a cleaning compound.
BELT
ADJUSTMENTS
Tread-belt Tension Adjustment
- Belt tension is not critical for most users. It is very important for
joggers and runners in order to provide a smooth, steady running surface. Adjustment must be
made from the right and left side of the rear roller in order to adjust tension with the 6 mm Allen
wrench provided in the parts package. The adjustment bolt is located at the end of the right and
left side rails as noted in diagram below.
Tighten the rear roller only enough to prevent slippage at the front roller. Turn the tread-belt tension
adjusting bolt in increments of 1/4 turn and inspect for proper tension.
