CARE AND MAINTENANCE

It is important to perform the minor maintenance tasks described in this section. Failure to maintain the treadmill as
described here could void the TRUE Warranty. To reduce the risk of electrical shock, always unplug the unit from its power
source before cleaning or performing any maintenance tasks.

INSPECTION

TRUE is not responsible for performing or scheduling regular maintenance or inspections. Users should inspect the
treadmill daily. Check for worn, frayed or missing safety lanyards. Replace missing or worn safety lanyards immediately.
Do not exercise on the treadmill without attaching the safety clip to your clothing. Look and listen for slipping belts, loose
fasteners, unusual noises, worn or frayed power cords, and any other indications that the equipment may be in need
of service. If any of these are noticed, obtain service. Do not attempt to use the treadmill until proper service has been
performed or damaged parts have been replaced.
IMPORTANT! If you determine that the treadmill needs service, make sure that the treadmill cannot be used inadvertently.
Turn the unit off , and then unplug the power cord from its power source. Remove the magnetic safety key and safety clip
and store it in a safe place. Make sure other users know that the treadmill needs service.

CLEANING THE EQUIPMENT

After Each Use
Wipe Exposed Surfaces—Use GymWipes™ Antibacterial wipes or spray a solution of 30 parts water to 1 part mild
detergent to dampen a soft cloth and wipe all exposed surfaces.
Wipe Console—Use an LCD/screen cleaner or spray a solution of 1 part 91% isopropyl alcohol and 1 part water to
dampen a soft cloth and wipe the surface of the console. This helps remove fi ngerprints, dust, and dirt.
Weekly
Vacuum—Use a vacuum to remove any dust or dirt that might have accumulated under or around the treadmill, any motor
cover vents, and under the straddle covers. Clogged air vents can prevent adequate cooling to the drive motor, incline
motor, and motor control board causing a shortened life.
Inspect Belt—Check for proper running belt alignment and tension. If running belt adjustment is required, please see the
following pages for how to adjust.
CAUTION:
!
Do not use any acidic cleaners. Doing so will weaken the paint or powder coatings and may void the TRUE Warranty.
Never pour water or spray liquids on any part of the treadmill. Allow the treadmill to dry completely before using.
Frequently vacuum the fl oor underneath the unit to prevent the accumulation of dust and dirt, which can aff ect the smooth
operation of the unit. Use a soft nylon scrub brush to clean the running belt. Do not clean directly underneath the tread
belt. Most of the working mechanisms are protected inside the motor cover and base of the treadmill. However, for effi cient
operation, the treadmill relies on low friction. To keep the friction low, the unit's running belt, staging platforms, and internal
mechanisms must be as clean as possible.

LEVELING THE TREADMILL

The treadmill has adjustable rear leveling feet. Make sure that the running surface is level. If the treadmill is placed on an
uneven surface, adjusting the rear feet can help, but may not completely compensate for extremely uneven surfaces.
IMPORTANT!
• Do not adjust the leveling feet to such a height that they
detach or unscrew from the machine.
• Always make sure that the running surface is level.
