Replacing Motor Brushes - LifeSpan APEX Owner's Manual

6. Replacing Motor Brushes

After extended use, the motor brushes in your treadmill motor will wear down, and this can lead to motor
failure. It is important that you maintain your motor by replacing the brushes on either side of the motor
when they are worn down. We recommend that you check your motor every 1000 hours of usage.
IMPORTANT: Before beginning the replacement of your motor brush, ensure that the treadmill is off and
unplugged from the electrical socket.
1. Remove the cover from the motor by squeezing it
from the sides.
3. Pull the clip out from its position.
2. You'll find the motor brush held in with a clip, with
the lead plugged in.
4a. Hold the clip out of the way with a screwdriver or
similar object. Keep the screwdriver in this position
until step 9.
