Care & 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 Fitness Warranty. To reduce the risk of electrical shock, always
unplug the unit from its power source before cleaning or performing any maintenance tasks.
Inspection:
Inspect the treadmill daily. 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 you notice any of these,
obtain service.
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.
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. To order parts or to contact a
TRUE Authorized Service representative, please visit www.truefitness.com.

Cleaning the Equipment:

Most of the working mechanisms are protected inside the motor cover and base of the treadmill. However, for
efficient 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. TRUE recommends the treadmill be cleaned
before and after each workout. Use mild soap and water to dampen a soft cloth and wipe all exposed surfaces.
This helps remove any dust or dirt.
CAUTION: Do not use any acidic cleaners. Doing so will weaken the paint or powder coatings and
may void the TRUE Fitness Warranty. Never pour water or spray liquids on any part of the treadmill. Allow
the treadmill to dry completely before using. Frequently vacuum the floor underneath the unit to prevent the
accumulation of dust and dirt, which can affect the smooth operation of the unit. Use a soft nylon scrub brush to
clean the running belt. Do not clean directly underneath the treadbelt.

Storing the Chest Strap:

Store the chest strap in a place where it remains free of dust and dirt such as, in a closet or drawer. Be sure
to protect the chest strap from extremes in temperature. Do not store it in a place that may be exposed to
temperatures below 32° F (0° C). To clean the chest strap, use a sponge or soft cloth dampened in mild soap and
water. Dry the surface thoroughly with a clean towel.
