MAINTENANCE AND CARE
CAUTION: Before you perform any care, cleaning, maintenance, repair, or similar
work on your treadmill, switch off the power and remove the power cable from the
electrical socket. Check before starting the planned work that your treadmill is
completely disconnected and switched off. Only when all work is fully completed, and
the device is completely re-assembled, may the treadmill be reconnected to a wall
outlet and switched 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 supplied silicone to apply a lubricant film.
MAINTENANCE & CLEANING INTERVALS
After each workout, clean the treadmill with a damp cloth to remove any perspiration
and/or other liquid residues. Never use solvents or chemical cleaners to clean the
treadmill. Dry the cleaned areas thoroughly.
CHECK THE LUBRICATION OF THE RUNNING BELT: ONCE A WEEK
If your regular checks show that there is no longer enough lubrication, lubricate
the belt immediately and shorten the inspection interval accordingly. Please see
LUBRICATING THE TREADMILL BELT on page 32 for instructions.
CHECK THE ALIGNMENT OF THE RUNNING BELT: ONCE A WEEK
The alignment of the running belt must be checked regularly. If you notice that
the belt is running to one side, this must be corrected immediately. Please see
ADJUSTING THE TREADMILL BELT on page 34.
CLEAN THE MOTOR COMPARTMENT: ONCE A MONTH
To clean the motor compartment, remove the motor cover bolts and cover. Vacuum
the visible dust with the small nozzle of a vacuum cleaner. Never use detergent or
compressed air under any circumstances.
CAUTION: This work may only be performed when the treadmill is switched off
and the power plug is removed.
CHECK THE MOUNTING MATERIALS: ONCE A MONTH
Check the bolts and nuts at least once a month. Tighten, if necessary.
WHY IS MAINTENANCE OF MY TREADMILL SO IMPORTANT?
In order to enjoy using your treadmill for many years, it is important to regularly and
consistently do basic maintenance. The maintenance interval will depend very much
on how often you use your treadmill, and therefore the intervals may need to be
shorter than specified.
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 creates wear which reduces the life of your treadmill. By lubricating
between the belt and the deck with silicone oil, this friction is reduced, thus increasing
the life of both parts. If the treadmill runs dry, the running deck will get hot, and
the surface of the running deck and the running belt may be damaged or destroyed.
Friction can also lead to a static charge which can discharge on contact with the
frame. This is not only unpleasant but can also destroy the treadmill’s electronics.
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 environment. This dust will be deposited both under and in
the machine. Without cleaning, the interior of the treadmill would at some point get
so dusty that a short would be caused in the electronic components. To avoid this,
regular cleaning is necessary.
DAMAGE CAUSED BY NEGLECT OR LACK OF MAINTENANCE AND CARE ARE
EXCLUDED FROM THE WARRANTY.
