Preventative Maintenance

It is important to perform the minor maintenance tasks described in this section. Failure to
maintain the equipment as described here could void the Precor Limited Warranty.
DANGER To reduce the risk of electrical shock, always unplug the equipment from its power
source before cleaning it or performing any maintenance tasks.

Inspection

Inspect the treadmill daily.
1. 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 you notice any of
these, obtain service.
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. Make sure other users know that the treadmill needs service.
2. 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.
To order parts or to contact a Precor authorized service provider in your area, refer to
Obtaining Service.

Cleaning the Equipment

Most of the working mechanisms are protected inside the hood 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 (see Treadmill Deck and Running Belt Cleaning procedure below), staging
platforms, and internal mechanisms must be as clean as possible.
Precor recommends the treadmill be cleaned before and after each workout to remove dust,
dirt, water, and sweat. Use mild soap and water to dampen a soft cloth and wipe all exposed
surfaces.
CAUTION: Do not use any acidic cleaners. Doing so will weaken the paint or powder coatings
and void the Precor Limited Warranty. Never pour water or spray liquids on any part of the
treadmill, and remove any accumulated sweat from the treadmill after use. Allow the treadmill
to dry completely before using it again.
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.
