Yearly Institutional Maintenance: Replace the Drive Motor Brushes.

3.Remove Motor Brushes and inspect. They should be replaced if 1/4 inch or less. Inspect motor Commutator for wear
4.When you reinstall motor brushes make sure the brush does not bind up in its holder. The motor brush must move freely the full length with zero resistance. If resistance is present you must carefully dress out the brush until the correct tolerance is achieved.
Motor brushes should be checked every 6 months on institutional treadmills and after 6 years on home units.
