Daily Maintenance.53; Weekly Maintenance.53 - Star Trac 4500 Owner's Manual

Preventive Maintenance
Star Trac strongly recommends performing regular preventive maintenance on your
STAR TRAC
4500 TREADMILL.
Without regularly scheduled maintenance, normal wear and tear may
cause cumulative effects, such as misalignment or premature wear. This may result in downtime.
For this reason, we highly recommend following the maintenance schedules below. Also, report
unusual symptoms, such as display codes and blown circuit breakers, to STAR TRAC PRODUCT
SUPPORT DEPARTMENT at (800) 503-1221, or USA 1-714-669-1660.
Daily Maintenance
• Remove excessive accumulations of dust, dirt, and other substances by using a clean soft cloth
and a liquid non-abrasive cleaner, such as Formula 409 or FANTASTIK. Wipe down the display
board handrails, shroud, heart rate grips (if avail.). Note: Do not spray directly onto the display
board or heart rate grips, do not use cleaner under the running belt.
• To ensure the longevity of the running belt, clean under the running belt with a soft, dry cloth.
To clean, slide the cloth between the running belt and deck from one side of the frame to the
other (you may need a ruler to slide the towel under the belt). Then, holding the edges of the
cloth, pull the cloth from the headroller down to the tailroller. Note: Do not clean the running
belt by activating the treadmill.
• Inspect the running belt for alignment and tension. Do not tighten the running belt every day. If
you notice slipping, adjust the running belt tension by using the instruction in Adjustments-
Slipping-Running Belt, which follows or contact Product Support, see section Product Support
for instructions.
• Ensure the power cord is not under the treadmill and away from the elevation screws. This will
prevent the power cord from being pinched or bind up the elevation screws.
Weekly Maintenance
• Vacuum the floor under and around the treadmill. Do so with the treadmill at its maximum
elevation or moved to another spot. Note: Careful not to damage the power cord.
• Inspect the inside surface of the running belt and the top surface of the running deck for unusual
wear. Check whether the belt feels glazed (a smooth almost melted appearance). If the running
belt appear glazed, replace the running belt and flip or replace the running deck. Note: Never
install a running belt on a used deck.
