Maintenance and Tips

Daily Cleaning
It is recommended to wipe the treadmill down after each use to keep the
treadmill clean and dry. A mild detergent may be used at times to help
remove all dirt and salt from the belt, painted parts and the display.
Monthly Cleaning
This cleaning includes removing the motor cover and cleaning around the
motor and electronics. It is recommended to clean the motor compartment if
the treadmill is in an area where there might be plush carpet fibers that could
get pulled up into the motor compartment. It is a good idea at this time to
tighten all assembly hardware and check power cord for damage, or anything
else that would indicate the need for service.
Safety and Integrity
The safety and integrity designed into the machine can only be maintained
when the treadmill is regularly examined for damage and repaired. Worn
or damaged components shall be replaced immediately or the treadmill
be removed from service until the repair is made. Pay special attention to
components most susceptible to wear.
!
WARNING: Keep treadmill stable on flat ground.
!
WARNING: Unplug the power cord before removing the motor cover.
IMPORTANT: If service is required, turn the power off and remove the
power cord to ensure the unit cannot be used. Let all other users know
the treadmill needs service.
CAUTION: Acidic cleaning detergents may damage painted or powder
coated surfaces and should not be used. Such cleaners may void the
LifeSpan warranty.

Belt Lubrication
Use only 100% silicone and avoid using aerosol silicone sprays which include
additives and petroleum distillates. One ounce of silicone should be used for
each application. LifeSpan offers 100% silicone lubricant that can be ordered
at www.LifeSpanFitness.com.
The walking belt comes pre-lubricated from the factory. The TR800B and
TR1200B should be lubricated every 50 hours of use. The TR5000B comes with
a maintenance free belt and doesn't require lubrication.
To lubricate, unplug your TR800B and TR1200B. Slide your hand under the
belt and lift the belt away from the deck. Apply about a dozen sprays toward
the center of the belt from each side. Rotate the belt 1/3 and repeat this
application. Rotate another 1/3 and repeat once more. Plug the treadmill in
and walk for a few minutes to disperse lube evenly.
NOTE: When lubricating the belt, make sure the treadmill is on a surface
that can be easily cleaned. After lubricating clean any excess silicone off
the walking surface of the belt and side rails.
