Rotating Or Flipping A Deck; Updating Software - Bodyguard T-30 User Manual

7.9

ROTATING OR FLIPPING A DECK

Treadmill decks are wear items that will eventually need to be rotated, flipped or replaced once a
wear patch has developed in the top black layer and the wood begins to be exposed beneath. Worn
decks will cause the synthetic underside of the walking belts to heat up and wear quicker as well as
increase the friction levels between the walking belt and deck possibly causing the walking belt to
stick to the deck and increase the motor's amperage draw.
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.
When changing the deck inspect the walking belt and if it has worn out it makes sense to change the
walking belt at the same time (see section 7.8).
To rotate, flip or install a new deck follow the same instructions as for changing a walking belt in
section 7.8.

UPDATING SOFTWARE

At times software updates are released for products that may offer new features or improve
performance. The latest version of software for each model may be viewed in the Customer Service
section at www.bodyguardfitness.com.
Note: You may confirm the current software versions on your model by entering the Diagnostic Menu
(see section 6.1) and all your software versions will scroll across the alphanumeric screen before you
press ENTER to see the submenus.
Updating software is very easy and can be done by downloading the correct software file from
bodyguardfitness.com (or receiving it as an attachment via email from the customer service
department) and saving it into the main directory on a USB key (no sub folder). Next, insert the USB
key into the USB port on compatible models when at the HOME SCREEN. If the software on the
USB key is a more recent version then the console will automatically update the software on the unit.
Follow the onscreen instructions about when to remove the USB key and allow the system to reboot
(console will flash quickly). Once the console returns to the HOME SCREEN you can confirm the
new software versions on the unit by reentering the Diagnostic Menu (see section 6.1) and
confirming the updated software versions scroll across the alphanumeric screen.
