Regular maintenance is necessary for optimal performance and long treadmill life. Please read and follow
all instructions below. If the treadmill is not maintained as described, components may wear excessively,
the treadmill may be damaged, and the warranty will be voided. If you have questions about maintenance, call
Customer Care toll-free at 1-800-201-2109, Monday through Friday, 6 a.m. until 6 p.m. Mountain Time (excluding
holidays). CAUTION: Make sure to remove the key and unplug the power cord before performing any main-
tenance procedures.
WEEKLY MAINTENANCE
1. Inspect and properly tighten all external parts of the treadmill.
2. Apply a mild multi-purpose cleaner to a 100% cotton cloth and remove any dust and grime from the handrails,
uprights, foot rails, frame, and motor hood. In addition, wipe the walking platform along the sides of the walk-
ing belt. Do not wipe under the walking belt. Apply a small amount of mild multi-purpose cleaner to a 100%
cotton cloth and wipe the console and the screens. Do not spray cleaner directly onto the treadmill or use
ammonia or acid-based cleaners.
3. Make sure that the walking belt is centered and properly tightened. If it is centered and runs smoothly, do not
make any adjustments. If the walking belt needs to be adjusted, refer to pages 33 and 34.
MONTHLY MAINTENANCE
1. Remove the two screws attaching the motor hood and lift off
the motor hood. Using a hand-held vacuum, clean the area
covered by the motor hood. Be careful to avoid touching
any components.
2. Check the motor belt for wear and cracks. If the motor belt
needs to be replaced, refer to page 44 to order a new motor
belt.
3. Plug in the power cord and insert the key into the console.
Press the START button. Be careful to avoid injury; keep
your hands away from moving parts and make sure that
your clothing cannot become caught in moving parts. While the walking belt is moving, check the motor
for arcing. Next, check the treadmill for unusual noises or odors. If any of these problems exists, call Customer
Care toll-free at 1-800-201-2109. Remove the key and unplug the power cord. Reattach the motor hood with
the two screws.
4. The walking platform should not be lubricated before the
treadmill is used. However, lubricant should be applied after
every month of use. To purchase a lubricant pump or lubricant
packets, call Customer Care toll-free at 1-800-201-2109.
CAUTION: Before applying lubricant, remove the key and
unplug the power cord.
To use a lubricant pump, first prime the pump. Insert the
wand under the walking belt in the location shown by dotted
line A. Center the nozzles under the walking belt and apply
lubricant as you slide the wand forward to dotted line B. Then,
pull the wand back out. To use lubricant packets, open one
packet, reach under one side of the walking belt as far as you
can, and apply the entire packet between dotted line A and
dotted line B. Then, apply a second packet under the other side of the walking belt in the same way. After you
have applied lubricant using a lubricant pump or lubricant packets, plug in the power cord, insert the
key, adjust the speed to 3 mph, and walk on the walking belt for two minutes to spread the lubricant.
