Maintaining the Commercial Treadmill
Because of its advanced design, the treadmill requires little maintenance
beyond periodic cleaning, which is explained in this section. Keep in mind that,
as owner of this machine, you are solely responsible for its maintenance.
CAUTION: Turn OFF and unplug the treadmill from the power outlet before
performing any maintenance tasks, such as cleaning. Remove the secu-
rity key and store it in a safe place to prevent unauthorized use.
CLEANING THE TREADMILL
Your Precor treadmill relies on low friction for efficient operation. To keep the
friction low, the treadmill must be as clean as possible.
Everyday 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 dirt or dust which might affect the smooth operation of the treadmill.
Vacuum underneath and around the unit every week to prevent the accumula-
tion of dust and dirt.
CAUTION: Never pour water or spray liquids on the electronic console or
treadmill. Allow the treadmill to dry completely before using.
Periodically, clean the treadmill's frame, electronic console, and running belt.
Use mild soap and water for this. To clean the running belt and the grooves on
the plastic trim, use a soft nylon scrub brush.
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 adjusting the running belt, check its operation by following the steps in
Checking the Alignment of the Running Belt earlier in this manual. If you
determine that the belt needs adjustment, follow the instructions here.
CAUTION: To avoid injury, special care must be taken when adjusting the
running belt. Turn OFF the treadmill and wait for the running belt to come
to a complete stop before adjusting or working near the rear roller. Remove
any loose clothing and tie back your hair. Be very careful to keep your
fingers or any other object clear of the belt and rollers. The treadmill will
not stop immediately if any object becomes caught in the belt or rollers.
