Other Preventive Maintenance
Other preventive maintenance activities must be completed by a qualified service technician at the
recommended intervals listed in the Service Schedule at the end of this chapter. These activities include:
• Measure the motor brushes and replace worn motor brushes
• Replace the running deck and bushings
• Replace the running belt
Elevation Motor Lubrication — In time the elevation motor pivot points may develop a squeak.
Lubricate the upper and lower bolts and the spacers with a small amount of lithium grease. NOTE: You
can buy lithium grease at an auto parts store.
Static Electricity — Depending upon where you live, you may experience dry air, causing a common
experience of static electricity. This may be especially true in the winter time. You may notice a static
build-up just by walking across a carpet and then touching a metal object. The same can hold true while
working out on your treadmill. You may experience a shock due to the build-up of static electricity on
your body and the discharge path of the treadmill. If you experience this type of situation, you may want
to increase the humidity to a comfortable level through the use of a humidifier.
