6.1PREVENTATIVE MAINTENANCE TIPS

The Life Fitness T-Series 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. Commercial Life Fitness treadmills are among the most popular of aerobic trainers, regularly standing up to marathon use - 18 hours a day, 7 days a week - in health clubs, colleges and military facilities the world over. This same technology, engineering expertise, and reliability has gone into the Life Fitness T-Series treadmills.

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.

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

•Clean the display console and all exterior surfaces regularly with mild soap and water or a mild household cleaner. DO NOT use paper towels, ammonia or acid based cleaners. *

•Check operation of the Emergency Stop System once a week.

•Check the operation of the Stop Key once a week.

•Inspect and vacuum the area under unit regularly.

•Wipe accumulated dust from rear support brace located underneath the rear roller. Be sure the treadmill belt is not moving at this time.

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

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

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

•Check the power cord for damage once a month.

The optimum operating position of the striding belt is from 1.75" (45 mm) to 2.25" (57 mm) from either side of the frame. If the striding belt travels beyond this position, see "How to Adjust and Tension the Striding Belt" or contact Life Fitness Customer Support Services for proper alignment instructions, 1-800-328-9714 (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.
