2.1 PREVENTATIVE MAINTENANCE

Preventative maintenance is the key to smoothly operating equipment, as well as keeping the user's liability to a minimum.
Equipment needs to be inspected at regular intervals. Defective components must be replaced immediately. Improperly
working equipment must be kept out of use until it is repaired. Ensure that any person(s) making adjustments or
performing maintenance or repair of any kind is qualified to do so.
EVERY DAY (DAILY)
Clean and inspect, following these steps:
•
Turn off the treadmill with the ON / OFF switch, then unplug the power cord at the wall outlet.
•
Wipe down the running belt, deck, motor cover, and console casing with a damp cloth. Never use solvents, as they can
cause damage to the treadmill.
•
Inspect the power cord. If the power cord is damaged, stop using and contact Customer Technical Support.
•
Make sure the power cord is not underneath the treadmill or in any other area where it can become pinched or cut.
•
Check the tension and alignment of the running belt. Make sure that the treadmill belt will not damage any other
components on the treadmill by being misaligned.
•
If any labels are damaged or illegible, contact Customer Technical Support for replacements.
EVERY WEEK (WEEKLY)
