Daily Maintenance; Weekly Maintenance; Monthly Maintenance - Star Trac Pro Owner's Manual

P M
REVENTATIVE AINTENANCE
Star Trac strongly recommends performing regular preventive maintenance on your STAR TRAC PRO / PRO S TREADMILL.
Without regularly scheduled maintenance, normal wear and tear may cause cumulative effects, such as misalignment or prema-
ture wear. This may result in downtime. For this reason, we highly recommend following the maintenance schedules.. Additionally,
unusual symptoms, such as display codes and blown circuit breakers, should be reported to STAR TRAC PRODUCT SUPPORT
DEPARTMENT at (800) 503-1221, or USA 1-714-669-1660.

DAILY MAINTENANCE

Remove excessive accumulations of dust, dirt, and other substances by using a clean soft cloth and a non-abrasive liquid clean-
er, such as Formula 409 or FANTASTIK. Wipe down the display board, handrails, shroud and heart rate grips.
NOTE: DO NOT spray the cleaner directly onto the display board or heart rate grips. Do not use liquid cleaner under the run-
ning belt.
To ensure the longevity of the running belt, clean under the running belt with a soft, dry cloth. To clean, slide the cloth between
the running belt and deck from one side of the frame to the other (you may need a ruler or similar tool to slide the towel under
the belt), then, holding the edges of the cloth, pull the cloth from the headroller down to the tailroller.
NOTE: DO NOT clean the running belt by activating the treadmill.
Inspect the running belt for alignment and tension. Do not tighten the running belt every day. If you notice slipping, adjust the
running belt tension using the instructions provided in "Adjustments-Slipping-Running Belt" (later in this chapter), or contact
Product Support as described at the beginning of this chapter.
Ensure the power cord is not under the treadmill and is positioned away from the elevation screws. This will prevent the power
cord from being pinched or from binding up the elevation screws.

WEEKLY MAINTENANCE

Vacuum the floor under and around the treadmill. Do so with the treadmill at its maximum elevation or moved to another spot.
NOTE: Take care not to damage the power cord while vacuuming.
Inspect the inside surface of the running belt and the top surface of the running deck for unusual wear. Check the belt for a
"glazed" condition (a smooth almost melted appearance). If the running belt appears glazed, replace the running belt and flip
or replace the running deck.
NOTE: Never install a new running belt on a used deck.
Inspect the display and handrail screws for security, and retighten if necessary.
Inspect the display panel/keypad for wear.
BI-WEEKLY MAINTENANCE
WARNING: To prevent personal injury, always turn the treadmill off and unplug the power cord before performing maintenance
inside the motor compartment.
Remove the motor shroud and vacuum around the motor and its ventilation holes. Avoid bumping or damaging parts normal-
ly protected by the shroud.

MONTHLY MAINTENANCE

Wipe the elevation screws down with a clean dry cloth and coat them with silicon lubricant spray to prevent rust accumulation.
ADJUSTMENTS
The running belt and its headroller, drive belt, tailroller, and running deck are designed to be self-centering, slip-free, and smooth-
operating without the need for frequent adjustments. Running belt sideward movement, slipping, or grinding after extended use,
or thumping during initial use, may be corrected by the following procedures:

Position the display on the neck, taking care not to pinch the
cables between the neck and the display. Once the display is prop-
erly positioned, install the two 5/16"-18 bolts to secure the display
to the neck.
Once the display has been secured in place, route the display
cables through the cutout in the neck, and into the motor com-
partment.
