Common Questions - Horizon Fitness TREADMILL ELITE Owner's Manual

C O M M O N P R O D U C T Q U E S T I O N S
ARE THE SOUNDS MY TREADMILL MAKES NORMAL?
All treadmills make a certain type of thumping noise due to the belt riding over the rollers, espe-
cially new treadmills. This noise will diminish over time, although may not totally go away. Over time,
the belt will stretch, causing the belt to ride smoother over the rollers.
WHY IS THE TREADMILL I HAD DELIVERED LOUDER THAN THE ONE AT THE
STORE?
All fitness products seem quieter in a large store showroom because there is generally more back-
ground noise than in your home. Also, there will be less reverberation on a carpeted concrete floor
than on a wood overlay floor. Sometimes a heavy rubber mat will help reduce reverberation through
the floor. If a fitness product is placed close to a wall, there will be more reflected noise.
WHEN SHOULD I BE WORRIED ABOUT A NOISE?
As long as the sounds your treadmill makes are no louder that a normal conversational tone of voice,
it is considered normal noise. If your treadmill is louder than this, you may want to call the Horizon
Fitness Customer Service Center @ 1.888.993.3199. Sometimes an initial diagnosis can be made
over the phone.

WHAT KIND OF ROUTINE MAINTENANCE IS REQUIRED?
We use sealed bearings throughout our treadmill so lubrication is not needed. The most important
maintenance step is to simply wipe your perspiration off the treadmill after each use.
HOW DO I CLEAN MY HORIZON FITNESS TREADMILL?
Clean with soap and water only. Never use solvents on plastic parts.
HOW OFTEN DOES MY HORIZON FITNESS TREADMILL NEED
TO BE LUBRICATED?
Our testing has shown that under normal use, your treadmill will work properly without a breakdown
in the lubrication system for years. However, to keep your treadmill runnining without problems, we
recommend that lubrication be added once a year. Please use the lubrication provided by Horizon
Fitness only.
