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
Perform a daily inspection of the treadmill.
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. Obtain service should you notice any of the above.
Important: If you determine that the treadmill is in need of service, move it away from the main workout area and place an large “Out of Service” sign on it.While it is awaiting service, remove the power cord so no one can use the treadmill.
2.Check for worn, frayed, or missing safety lanyards. Replace missing or worn safety lanyards immediately. A safety lanyard with its security clip must be fastened to the treadmill’s red STOP button. Do not allow users on a tread- mill without it.
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 treadmill’s hood and solid base. However, for efficient operation, the treadmill relies on low friction. To keep the friction low, the treadmill must be as clean as possible.
It is recommended that the running bed and belt be cleaned daily. Use a damp, soft cloth to clean the staging platform, running bed and between the belt and running bed surface as far as you can easily reach. This removes any dust or dirt which might affect the smooth operation of the unit.
CAUTION: Never pour water or spray liquids on the display console, hand- rails, or treadmill. Allow the treadmill to dry completely before using.
Periodically, clean the treadmill’s frame, display console, handrails and running belt with a dampened (not dripping wet), clean cloth using a diluted solution of mild soap and water.To clean the grooves on the belt, use a soft nylon scrub brush.Vacuum the floor underneath the unit every week to prevent the accumulation of dust and dirt.
