5.1 Preventive Maintenance Tips

The Life Fitness treadmill is backed by the engineering excellence and reliability of Life
Fitness and is one of the most rugged and trouble-free pieces of exercise equipment on the
market today. Commercial Life Fitness treadmills are among the most popular of aerobic
trainers, regularly standing up to marathon use — 18 hours a day, 7 days a week — in
health clubs, colleges and military facilities the world over.
The following preventive maintenance tips will keep the Life Fitness treadmill operating at
peak performance:
Clean the display console and all exterior surfaces regularly with mild soap and water or
l
a mild household cleaner. DO NOT use paper towels, ammonia or acid based cleaners.*
Check operation of the stop button once a week.
l
Vacuum the striding belt regularly to keep debris from accumulating.
l
Inspect exterior parts regularly for wear, particularly the striding belt and deck.
l
Inspect and vacuum the area under unit regularly.
l
Check the position of the striding belt.
l
The optimum operating position of the striding belt is from 3/16" (4.7mm) to
11/16" (17.4mm) on the Life Fitness 9000 treadmill or 1/4" to 7/8" (6.4mm to
22mm) on the 9100HR and 9500HR treadmills from either side of the frame
extrusions. If the striding belt travels beyond this position, see "How to Adjust
and Tension the Striding Belt" or contact Life Fitness Customer Support
Services for proper alignment instructions.
*NOTE: When cleaning the exterior of the unit, a non-abrasive cleaner and soft cotton
cloth are strongly recommended. At no time should cleaner be applied directly
to any part of the equipment; use non-abrasive cleaner on a soft cloth and then
wipe the unit.
