CLEANING:

Routine cleaning of your unit will extend the life of your unit.

WARNING! To prevent electrical shock, be sure the power to the treadmill is OFF and the unit is unplugged from the wall electrical outlet before attempting any cleaning or maintenance.

AFTER EACH WORKOUT:

Wipe off the console and other treadmill surfaces with a clean, water dampened soft cloth to remove excess perspiration. USE NO CHEMICALS.

WEEKLY:

Use of a treadmill mat is recommended for ease of cleaning. Dirt from your shoes contacts the belt and eventually makes it to underneath the treadmill. Vacuum underneath treadmill once a week.

WARNING: Do not over-lubricate the walking board. Excess lubricant should be wiped off with a clean towel.

DECK LUBRICATION:

The walking belt has been pre-lubricated at the factory. However, it is recommended that the walking board be checked periodically for lubrica- tion to ensure optimal treadmill performance. Every 30 days or 30 hours of operation, lift the sides of the walking belt and feel the top surface of the walking board as far under as you can reach. If you feel signs of silicone, no further lubrication is required. If it feels dry to the touch, lubrication is needed. Please note that this unit comes with an automated reminder to lubricate your treadmill once every 30 hours (E66 blinking in your incline window). Ironman Fitness recommends “Lube N Walk” for cleaning and lubricating the treadmill belt and deck. Ask your retailer or call Ironman Fitness at 800-750-4766.

TO APPLY LUBRICANT TO THE WALKING BOARD

1.) Take foam wand applicator, without lube, and insert it in between the walking belt and deck, exposing the two plastic tabs at either end of the walking belt. Take both tabs and run the wand back and fort along the entire length of your deck. Remove the applicator and prepare for lubrication.

2)Apply about a dime’s worth of lubrication onto the side of the applicator wand hat was not used for removing dirt and debris (step 1). You can add more or less lubricant, depending on your lubrication schedule.

3)Insert the wand between the walking belt and deck, exposing the two white plastic tabs at either end of the walking belt.

4)Take both of the tabs and run the wand back and forth along the entire length of your deck. You are done until your next scheduled lubrication date.

5)Allow the silicone to ‘set’ for one minute before using the treadmill.
