The C956 or C954 requires little maintenance to keep it running smoothly and
efficiently. However, you, as club manager or owner, are responsible for typical
maintenance tasks such as, cleaning the unit to keep it free from dust and dirt
accumulation. If you fail to maintain the treadmill as described below, it could
affect or void the Precor limited warranty.
CLEANING
THE
EQUIPMENT
DANGER - To REDUCE THE RISK
OF
elECTRICAL
SHOCK, ALWAYS UNPLUG THE UNIT FROM ITS
POWER SOURCE BEFORE CLEANING IT OR PERFORMING ANY MAINTENANCE TASKS.
Most of the working mechanisms are protected inside the treadmill's hood and
solid base. However, for efficient operation, the treadmill relies on low friction.
To
keep the friction low, the treadmill must be as clean as possible.
It is recommended that the running bed and belt be cleaned daily. Use a damp,
soft cloth to clean the staging platform, running bed and between the belt and
running bed surface as far as you can easily reach. This removes any dust or dirt
which might affect the smooth operation of the unit.
CAUTION: Never
pour
water
or
spray
liquids
on
the
display
console,
hand-
rails,
or
treadmill.
Allow
the
treadmill
to
dry
completely
before
using.
Periodically, clean the treadmill's frame, display console, handrails and running belt
with a dampened (not dripping wet),
clean cloth using a diluted solution of Simple
Green<l'J.
To
clean the grooves
on
the belt, use a soft nylon scrub brush. Vacuum the
floor underneath the unit every week to prevent the accumulation of dust and dirt.
The Precor Heart Rate equipment requires little maintenance beyond keeping
it
dust free. Dampen a sponge or soft cloth in mild soap and water to wipe the
POLAR<l'J
chest strap. Dry the surface thoroughly with a clean towel.
ALIGNING
THE
RUNNING
BELT
The correct alignment of the running belt is critical to the smooth operation of the
treadmill. The belt is properly aligned at the factory. However, during shipping and
handling or by use on an uneven surface, the belt
may
move off center and
require a few simple adjustments.
Before aligning the running belt, check its operation by following the procedure in
Checking the Alignment
of
the Running Belton page 19.1f you determine
thatthe
belt needs alignment, follow the instructions here.
CAUTION: Special care
must
be taken when
aligning
the
running
belt.Turn
OFF the
treadmill
while
adjusting
or
working
near
the
rear roller. Remove
any
loose
clothing and tie back
your
hair. Be very careful
to
keep
your
finger
or
any
other
object
clear
of
the
belt
and rollers,
especially
in
front
of
the
roller
and
behind
the deck. The treadmill
will
not
stop
immediately
if
an
object
becomes
caught
in the belt
or
rollers.
Realigning the belt takes a few simple adjustments.
