  • Page 50: General Maintenance

    TREADMILLS – USER MANUAL GENERAL MAINTENANCE Bodyguard Treadmills have been designed to provide many years of quality use. However, in order to maintain product safety, performance and to maximize the life the product, some general maintenance should be performed periodically.

  • Page 51: Drive Belt Tension Check

    TREADMILLS – USER MANUAL compressed air and blow out any accumulated dust from inside the motor and on the motor control board as well as any other effected components. • Check the drive belt tension to ensure it is not too loose (results in the belt slipping on the drive motor pulley and front roller pulley and creating a jerking feel) or too tight (puts strain on the drive motor shaft and results in the drive system working much harder than necessary as well as putting increased strain on the front roller bearings which can cause them to wear prematurely).

  • Page 52: Walking Belt Tension Check

    This will cause damage to the edge of the walking belt resulting in fraying. Bodyguard treadmills use crowned rollers that are contoured to help keep the belt centered, however, if the front and rear rollers are not parallel then the walking belt will drift...
  • Page 53 TREADMILLS – USER MANUAL rollers are adjusted at the time of installation and again during general maintenance to apply the correct amount of walking belt tension. It is important that when adjusting the walking belt tension via the rear rollers the two rear roller screws are adjusted equally so the rear roller remains parallel with the front roller.

  • Page 54: Deck & Walking Belt Condition Check

    Extreme Amperage (Error 60) warning has been triggered. Determining the condition of your deck and walking belt is very easy on a Bodyguard Treadmill as there are built in electronic systems which allow you to get real-time performance feedback on the amperage (DC) being drawn by the drive motor as well as its average over a period of time.

  • Page 55: Average Amperage

    Note: If maintained periodically per the General Maintenance Timetable (see section 7.1), Bodyguard’s walking belts can usually be lubricated several times over years of use (thousands of miles/kilometers). Eventually, the walking belt becomes so worn that the lubricant is no longer effective at lowering the friction level between the walking belt and deck and AFDS Maintenance Warnings will continually appear on screen.
  • Page 56 (4) areas of use resulting in longer deck life before requiring replacement. 4. Once the deck and underside of the belt is clean and dry, apply official Bodyguard lubricant into the front middle part of the deck where the feet strike. Never put other sprays or liquids on the deck or add lubricant to a dirty deck or belt as this may cause gumming problems and increase friction between the two parts.

  • Page 57: Changing A Walking Belt

    Replacement walking belts can be ordered from your service provider or Bodyguard Customer Service. When changing the walking belt inspect the deck surface and if there are signs of significant wear it is recommended to flip or rotate the deck at the same time (see section 7.9)

  • Page 58: Rotating Or Flipping A Deck

    Bodyguard’s treadmill decks are treated with phenolic on both sides and specially designed to be able to be rotated and flipped so an unused surface can be placed where the user’s feet strike. If the entire deck surface is worn, replacement decks can be ordered from your service provider or Bodyguard Customer Service.

  • Page 59: Troubleshooting Problems

    “!” on PROFILE “X” on PROFILE Maintenance warnings are part of Bodyguard’s built-in safety feature called AFDS (Advanced Friction Detection System). AFDS makes users aware when the treadmill’s drive system is working harder than usual by displaying a Maintenance Warning on the console. This is usually caused by too much friction between the deck and walking belt and can be usually resolved by performing Deck and Belt Cleaning and Lubrication.

  • Page 60: Walking Belt Problems

    TREADMILLS – USER MANUAL WALKING BELT PROBLEMS If your walking belt is not centered or feels like it is slipping or sticking when you are exercising it is a serious safety concern and needs to be rectified immediately. Note: The General Maintenance information in section 7, covers deck and walking belt maintenance including cleaning, lubrication, alignment and setting the correct belt tensions.

  • Page 61: Common Noises

    TREADMILLS – USER MANUAL COMMON NOISES There are different types of noises that can be heard from a treadmill depending on the workload, age and condition of the equipment. Treadmills do have a lot of moving components creating operational noise but if you feel there is a noise over and above what is considered normal then diagnosing the cause of noises can be made easier by taking a simple step-by step approach.
