5 | Maintaining the M9.20/s Low Impact Treadmill |
The M9.20/s Low Impact Treadmill requires little maintenance to keep it running | |
smoothly and efficiently. However, the customer is responsible for the typical |
maintenance tasks such as, cleaning the treadmill and adjusting the running belt. If you fail to maintain the treadmill as described below, it could affect or void the limited warranty.
CAUTION: Turn OFF the treadmill and disconnect the power cable before performing most maintenance tasks.
Cleaning the Treadmill
Your Precor treadmill relies on low friction for efficient operation. To keep the friction low, the treadmill must be as clean as possible.
Before a workout, use a damp, soft, clean cloth to clean the side platforms and running bed, (refer to Diagram 15 to view the different parts of the treadmill). This removes any dirt or dust that might affect the smooth operation of the treadmill.
Vacuum the floor underneath the unit every week to prevent the accumulation of dust and dirt on the running belt.
Periodically clean the treadmill’s frame, electronic console, and running belt using a damp cloth soaked in a solution of mild soap and water. To clean the running belt and the groves on the plastic trim strip, use a soft nylon scrub brush. Never pour water or spray liquids on the electronic console. Allow the treadmill to dry completely before using.
Aligning the Running Belt
Before aligning the running belt, check its operation by following the procedure in Checking the Alignment of the Running Belt. If you determine that the belt needs alignment, follow the instructions here.
Realigning the belt takes a few simple adjustments. If you are unsure about this procedure, call your authorized Precor dealer for service (see Obtaining Service).
CAUTION: Special care must be taken when aligning the running belt. Turn OFF the treadmill while adjusting or working near the rear roller. Remove any loose clothing and tie back your hair. Be very careful to keep your fingers or any other object clear of the belt and rollers, especially in front of the roller and behind the deck. The treadmill will not stop immediately if an object becomes caught in the belt or rollers.
Take the following steps to adjust the running belt on the M9.20/s treadmill. To ensure your safety, make all adjustments while the treadmill is OFF.
1. Make sure the treadmill is OFF and the running belt has completely stopped.
