5 | Maintaining the M9.4 Electronic Treadmill |
Ergometer | |
The M9.4 treadmill requires little maintenance to keep it running smoothly and | |
efficiently. Typical maintenance tasks include cleaning the treadmill and | |
adjusting the running belt. Instructions for both procedures are provided in this |
section.
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.
CAUTION: Turn OFF the treadmill and unplug the power cord before cleaning.
Before a workout, use a damp, soft cloth to clean the staging platforms, running bed, and under the belt as far as you can easily reach. This removes any dirt or dust that might affect the smooth operation of the treadmill.
Vacuum underneath the treadmill 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 mild soap and water. To clean the running belt, use a soft nylon scrub brush. Do not pour water or spray liquids on the electronic console. Allow the treadmill to dry completely before using.
Adjusting the Running Belt
Before adjusting the running belt, check its operation by following the procedure in Checking the Alignment of the Running Belt earlier in this manual. If you determine that the belt needs adjustment, follow the instructions here.
CAUTION: Special care must be taken when adjusting 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 M9.4 treadmill is designed to carry people who weigh up to 350 pounds at speeds from 0.5 to 12 miles per hour. The treadmill will not stop immediately if any object becomes caught in the belt or rollers.
