MAINTENANCE
Cleaning
1. DO NOT USE GLASS CLEANERS OR ANY OTHER
HOUSEHOLD CLEANERS ON THE CONSOLE.
Clean the console daily with a water-dampened
cloth and wipe dry after cleaning.
2. Clean the exterior of the machine daily using
soap and water or a diluted, non-mineral based
household cleaner such as Fantastic
®
.
3. Elevate the treadmill to maximum incline and
vacuum the fl oor under weekly it to prevent excess
dust and dirt from interfering with operation.
4. Depending upon the treadmill environment,
dust and or lint can accumulate under the hood.
Periodic internal cleaning should be done by a
qualifi ed service personnel.
Inspection
1. Frame: Inspect the frame for any rust, bubbling, or
paint chips during the weekly cleaning. The salt in
perspiration can damage the unpainted surfaces.
Repair the damaged area with a touch-up paint kit
purchased from Nautilus (call Customer Service
for order information).
2. Inspect the power cord and walking belt for wear.
3. Check the position of the walking belt; be sure it is
not rubbing against the frame. The belt should be
evenly spaced on the deck within 0.25 inch; adjust
if necessary.
4. Remove potential hazards from the treadmill area.
NOTICE: Dry mop the deck under the belt only. Do not
add any lubricants. Adding lubricants can
ruin the proprietary friction-control surface.
Do not use detergents or cleaning agents on
any part of the deck.
Do not let liquid enter the treadmill or
display.
Do not remove the treadmill hood: dangerous
voltages are present. Components are
serviceable only by qualifi ed service personnel.
Treadmill Belt Adjustments
Secure long hair and loose clothing before
working near the treadmill walking surface or
pulleys.
As the treadmill walking belt stretches through use
it will become necessary to tension the belt. This
often occurs within the fi rst few months of use.
Adjust the belt tension whenever the belt slips or
moves unsteadily during operation. The belt tension
is adjusted by moving the rear roller of the treadmill
back to reduce slack. This is accomplished by turning
the adjustment bolts located on the back of
the treadmill.
NOTICE: Do not over tighten walking belt! The belt
need only be tight enough to prevent it from
slipping during use. Excessive belt tension
will decrease belt life and can damage the
treadmill rollers and drive system.
