Walking Belt Electrostatic Reduction - Bowflex TreadClimber TC5 Service Manual

Walking Belt Electrostatic Reduction

Your TreadClimber machine may develop a static charge caused by the movement of the walking belts. Follow this procedure to apply an anti-static
®
spray to them to reduce the static electric charges.
Wait a minimum of 60 minutes after the last workout before you apply the anti-static spray, to let hot components cool to room temperature.
1. Remove the batteries from the Console.
2. Carefully apply the anti-static spray to lightly cover the top surface of the walking belts along the front third of the machine.
NOTICE: Hold the spray dispenser approximately 6" (13 cm) above the walking belt and point the spray toward the front of the machine, away from
the motor. Apply the spray only on the belts, not on the deck or mechanism. If spray goes off the belts, wipe the excess spray off the other parts of the
machine.
Note: Be sure to obey the manufacturer safety instructions for the anti-static product.
3. Using your foot, manually advance the walking belts toward the back of the machine, exposing the next unsprayed section.
4. Do steps 2 and 3 again until all sections of the belts are lightly coated with anti-static spray.
5. Wait until the belts are fully dry (approximately 2-4 hours).
6. Inspect the walking belt alignment and tension before using the machine. Refer to the walking belt adjustment and belt tension check procedures.
7. Install the batteries into the Console.
Note: Repeat the procedure to apply anti-static spray if static electric discharge occurs again. The machine will accumulate more static
electric charge when the surrounding air is drier. Be sure to obey the manufacturer safety instructions for the anti-static product.
