Product Owner’s Manual: Maintenance 19
Maintenance
It is important to perform the minor maintenance tasks described
below. Failure to maintain the treadmill as described in this section
could void the Precor Limited Warranty.
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,
ensure that the treadmill cannot be used inadvertently. Turn the
unit OFF, and then unplug the power cord from its power source.
Make sure users know that the treadmill needs service.
2. Check for worn, frayed or missing security lanyards. Replace
missing or worn security lanyards immediately. Make sure users
attach the security clip to their clothing before exercising on the
treadmill.
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 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.
Periodically, clean the running belt using a soft nylon scrub brush.
Frequently vacuum the floor underneath the unit to prevent the
accumulation of dust and dirt, which can affect the smooth operation
of the unit.
