Product Owner’s Manual: Maintenance 27
Maintenance
It is important to perform the minor maintenance tasks described
below. Failure to maintain the unit as described in this section could
void the Precor Limited Warranty.
To reduce the risk of electrical shock, always
unplug the unit from its power source (an
optional power adapter in the case of self-
powered units) before cleaning it or performing
any maintenance tasks.
Daily Inspection
Look and listen for slipping belts, loose fasteners, unusual noises,
worn or frayed power cords, and any other indications that the
equipment may be in need of service. If you notice any of these, obtain
service.
Important: If you determine that the unit needs service, disconnect
any power connections and move the unit away from the exercising
area. Place an OUT OF SERVICE sign on it and make sure all
patrons and users know that they must not use the unit.
On treadmills, check for worn, frayed or missing safety lanyards.
Replace missing or worn safety lanyards immediately. Make sure users
attach the safety clip to their clothing before exercising on the
treadmill.
To order parts or to contact a Precor authorized service provider in
your area, refer to Obtaining Service.
Daily Cleaning
Precor recommends the unit be cleaned before and after each
exercise session. Use mild soap and water to dampen a clean, soft
cloth and wipe all exposed surfaces. This helps remove dust and dirt.
CAUTION: Do not use any acidic cleaners. Doing so will weaken
the paint or powder coatings and void the Precor Limited
Warranty. Never pour water or spray liquids on any part of the
unit. Allow the unit to dry completely before using.
Frequently vacuum the floor underneath the unit to prevent the
accumulation of dust and dirt, which can affect the smooth operation
of the unit. Use a soft nylon scrub brush to clean the running belt on
treadmills or the grooves on units with foot pedals.
CAUTION: On treadmills, as you clean the hood or side rails, be
aware of the handrail extensions so you do not inadvertently hit
your head or injure yourself.
