Maintenance

It is important to perform the minor maintenance tasks described in this section. Failure to maintain the treadmill as described here could void the Precor Limited Warranty.

DANGER

To reduce the risk of electrical shock,

 

always unplug the unit from its power

 

source before cleaning it or

 

performing any maintenance tasks.

Inspection

Inspect the treadmill daily.

1.Look and listen for slipping belts, loose fasteners, unusual noises, worn or frayed power cords, and any other indications that the equipment may be in need of service. If you notice any of these, obtain service.

Important: If you determine that the treadmill needs service, make sure that the treadmill cannot be used inadvertently. Turn the unit Off, and then unplug the power cord from its power source. Make sure other users know that the treadmill needs service.

2.Check for worn, frayed or missing safety lanyards. Replace missing or worn safety lanyards immediately. Do not exercise on the treadmill without attaching the safety clip to your clothing.

To order parts or to contact a Precor authorized service provider in your area, refer to Obtaining Service.

Cleaning the Equipment

Most of the working mechanisms are protected inside the hood and base of the treadmill. However, for efficient operation, the treadmill relies on low friction. To keep the friction low, the unit’s running belt, staging platforms, and internal mechanisms must be as clean as possible.

Precor recommends the treadmill be cleaned before and after each workout. Use mild soap and water to dampen a soft cloth and wipe all exposed surfaces. This helps remove any dust or dirt.

CAUTION: Do not use any acidic cleaners. Doing so will weaken the paint or powder coatings and void the Precor Limited Warranty. Never pour water or spray liquids on any part of the treadmill. Allow the treadmill to dry completely before using.
