6.1PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE TIPS

The Life Fitness Treadmill is backed by the engineering excellence and reliability of Life Fitness and is one of the most rugged and trouble-free pieces of exercise equipment on the market today. Consumer Life Fitness Treadmills are among the most popular of aerobic trainers in health clubs, colleges and military facilities the world over.

Note: Safety of the equipment can be maintained only if the equipment is examined regularly for damage or wear. Keep the equipment out of use until defective parts are repaired or replaced. Pay special attention to parts that are subject to wear, as outlined below.

REMARQUE : pour conserver un matériel sûr, il convient de l'inspecter régulièrement afin de déceler tout signe d'usure ou d'endommagement. N'utilisez pas l'appareil tant que les pièces défectueuses n'ont pas été réparées ou remplacées. Portez une attention toute particulière aux pièces qui s'usent, comme indiqué ci-dessous.

The following preventive maintenance tips will keep the Life Fitness Treadmill operating at peak performance:

•Clean the display console and all exterior surfaces with an approved or compatible cleaner (see Life Fitness Approved Cleaners) and a soft cotton cloth.

DO NOT use ammonia or acid based cleaners. DO NOT use abrasive cleaners. DO NOT use paper towels, DO NOT apply cleaners directly to equipment surfaces.*

•Check operation of the emergency stop system once a week.

•Check the operation of the stop button once a week.

•Inspect and vacuum the area directly surrounding and under the unit regularly.

•Vacuum around the striding belt regularly to keep debris from accumulating.

•Inspect exterior parts regularly for wear, particularly the striding belt, deck and line cord.

•Check to make sure the unit is properly leveled.

•Check the position (centering) of the striding belt.

The optimum operating position of the striding belt is from 1.5 inches (38 mm) to 2.0 inches (51 mm) from either side of the frame. If the striding belt travels beyond this position, see section 6.5 titled How to Adjust and Tension the Striding Belt, or contact Life Fitness Customer Support Services for proper alignment instructions at1-800-351-3737 (USA).

*Note: When cleaning the exterior of the unit, a non-abrasive cleaner and soft cotton cloth are strongly recommended. At no time should cleaner be applied directly to any part of the equipment; use non-abrasive cleaner on a soft cloth and then wipe the unit. Contact Life Fitness Customer Support Services for more details (refer to page one).

LIFE FITNESS APPROVED CLEANERS

Two preferred cleaners have been approved by Life Fitness reliability experts: PureGreen 24 and Gym Wipes. Both clean- ers will safely and effectively remove dirt, grime and sweat from equipment. PureGreen 24 and the Antibacterial Force for- mula of Gym Wipes are both disinfectants that are effective against MRSA and H1N1.

PureGreen 24 is available in a spray which is convenient for gym staff to use. Apply the spray to a microfiber cloth and wipe down the equipment. Use PureGreen 24 on the equipment for at least 2 minutes for general disinfection purposes and at least 10 minutes for fungus and viral control.

Gym Wipes are large, durable pre-moistened wipes to use on the equipment before and after workouts. Use Gym Wipes on the equipment for at least 2 minutes for general disinfection purposes.
