P
REVENTATIVE
Star Trac strongly recommends performing regular preventive maintenance on your STAR TRAC PRO S / PRO / ELITE
TREADMILL. Without regularly scheduled maintenance, normal wear and tear may cause cumulative effects, such as misalign-
ment or premature wear. This may result in downtime. For this reason, we highly recommend following the maintenance sched-
ules.. Additionally, unusual symptoms, such as display codes and blown circuit breakers, should be reported to STAR TRAC
PRODUCT SUPPORT DEPARTMENT at (800) 503-1221, or USA 1-714-669-1660. If any components are found to be worn or
damaged, the treadmill should be removed from service until repairs can be made. Only components supplied or approved by Star
Trac shall be used to maintain and/or repair the treadmill.

DAILY MAINTENANCE

Remove excessive accumulations of dust, dirt, and other substances by using a clean soft cloth and a non-abrasive liquid clean-
er, such as Formula 409
TM
NOTE: DO NOT spray the cleaner directly onto the display board or heart rate grips. Do not use liquid cleaner under the run-
ning 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 or similar tool 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 using the instructions provided in "Adjustments-Slipping-Running Belt" (later in this chapter), or contact
Product Support as described at the beginning of this chapter.
Ensure the power cord is not under the treadmill and is positioned away from the elevation screws. This will prevent the power
cord from being pinched or from binding 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: Take care not to damage the power cord while vacuuming.
Inspect the inside surface of the running belt and the top surface of the running deck for unusual wear. Check the belt for a
"glazed" condition (a smooth almost melted appearance). If the running belt appears glazed, replace the running belt and flip
or replace the running deck.
NOTE: Never install a new running belt on a used deck.
Inspect the display and handrail screws for security, and retighten if necessary.
Inspect the display panel/keypad for wear.

BI-WEEKLY MAINTENANCE

WARNING: To prevent personal injury, always turn the treadmill off and unplug the power cord before performing maintenance
inside the motor compartment.
Remove the motor shroud and vacuum around the motor and its ventilation holes. Avoid bumping or damaging parts normal-
ly protected by the shroud.

MONTHLY MAINTENANCE

Wipe the elevation screws down with a clean dry cloth and coat them with silicon lubricant spray to prevent rust accumulation.
