PREVENTATIVE MAINTENANCE
Your TreadClimber® must be maintained by perfoming regular Preventative Maintenance. Failure to
perform regularly scheduled preventative maintenance can lead to premature wear; cumulative and other
effects, such as misalignment and create safety hazards for the user. Failure to perform regular Preventative
Maintenance will lead to unnecessary downtime and may void your warranty. For this reason, we highly
recommend following the maintenance schedules listed in this manual.
DAILY MAINTENANCE
■
Remove excessive accumulations of dust, dirt, and other substances by using a clean soft cloth and a
non-abrasive liquid cleaner,
such as Formula 409
™
or FANTASTIK
™
. Wipe down the display board,
handrails, shroud and heart rate grips.
NOTE: DO NOT spray the cleaner directly onto the display board or heart rate grips. Do not use
liquid cleaner under the walking belt.
■
To ensure the longevity of the walking belts, clean under the walking belts with a soft, dry cloth. To clean,
slide the cloth between the walking belt and deck from one side of the frame to the other (you may need
a ruler or similar tool to slide the towel under the belt), then, holding the edges of the cloth, pull the cloth
from the headroller down to the tailroller.
NOTE: DO NOT clean the walking belt by activating the unit.
■
Inspect the walking belts for alignment and tension. Do not tighten the walking belt every day. If you
notice slipping, adjust the walking belt tension using the instructions provided in “Adjustments-
Slipping-Walking Belt” (later in this chapter), or contact Customer Services as described at the beginning
of this chapter.
■
Ensure the power cord is not under moving parts of the TreadClimber This will
prevent the power cord from being pinched or from binding up the treadles.
WEEKLY MAINTENANCE
■
Vacuum the floor under and around the Tread Climber. Do so by moving the Tread Climberwith its rollers
to another spot.
NOTE: Take care not to damage the power cord while vacuuming.
■
Inspect the inside surface of the walking belt if the belt fiber are frayed excesively, (it will feel fuzzy to the
touch), replace the belt.
NOTE: Never install a new walking belt on a used deck.
■
Inspect the display and handrail screws for security, and retighten if necessary.
■
Inspect the display panel/keypad for wear.
