Care & Maintenance; Cleaning The Equipment - True Fitness TPS100-17 Owner's Manual

CARE & MAINTENANCE:
It is important to perform the minor maintenance tasks described in this section. Failure to maintain the treadmill as described
here could void the TRUE Fitness Warranty. To reduce the risk of electrical shock, always unplug the unit from its power
source before cleaning or performing any maintenance tasks.
Inspection:
TRUE Fitness is not responsible for performing or scheduling regular maintenance or inspections. Users should inspect the
treadmill daily. Check for worn, frayed or missing safety lanyards. Replace missing or worn safety lanyards immediately.
Do not exercise on the treadmill without attaching the safety clip to your clothing. 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
any of these are noticed, obtain service. Do not attempt to use the treadmill until proper service has been performed or damaged
parts have been replaced.
Important:
If you determine that the treadmill needs service, make sure that the treadmill cannot be used inadvertently. Turn the unit off,
and then unplug the power cord from its power source. Remove the magnetic safety key and safety clip and store it in a safe
place. Make sure other users know that the treadmill needs service.

CLEANING THE EQUIPMENT:

After Each Use:
•
Use GymWipes™ Antibacterial wipes or spray a solution of 30 parts water to 1 part mild detergent to
dampen a soft cloth and wipe all exposed surfaces.
•
Use a LCD/screen cleaner or spray a solution of 1 part 91% isopropyl alcohol and 1 part water to dampen a soft
cloth and wipe the surface of the console. This helps remove fingerprints, dust, and dirt.
Weekly:
•
Vacuum any dust or dirt that might have accumulated under or around the treadmill, any motor cover vents
and under the straddle covers. Clogged air vents can prevent adequate cooling to the drive motor, incline
motor, and motor control board causing a shortened life.
•
Check for proper running belt alignment and tension. If running belt adjustment is required see sections
RUNNING BELT ALIGNMENT and TENSIONING THE RUNNING BELT in the following pages.
CAUTION:
Do not use any acidic cleaners. Doing so will weaken the paint or powder coatings and may void the TRUE Fitness Warranty.
Never pour water or spray liquids on any part of the treadmill. Allow the treadmill 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. Do not clean directly underneath the
treadbelt. Most of the working mechanisms are protected inside the motor cover and base of the treadmill. However, for
efficient operation, the treadmill relies on low friction. To keep the friction low, the unit's running belt, staging platforms, and
internal mechanisms must be as clean as possible.
