5The M9.20/s Low Impact Treadmill requires little maintenance to keep it running

smoothly and efficiently. However, the customer is responsible for the typical

maintenance tasks such as, cleaning the treadmill and adjusting the running

belt. If you fail to maintain the treadmill as described below, it could affect or

void the limited warranty.

CAUTION: Turn OFF the treadmill and disconnect the power cable before

performing most maintenance tasks.

Your Precor treadmill relies on low friction for efficient operation. To keep the

friction low, the treadmill must be as clean as possible.

Before a workout, use a damp, soft, clean cloth to clean the side platforms and

running bed, (refer to Diagram 15 to view the different parts of the treadmill).

This removes any dirt or dust that might affect the smooth operation of the

treadmill.

Vacuum the floor underneath the unit every week to prevent the accumulation of

dust and dirt on the running belt.

Periodically clean the treadmill’s frame, electronic console, and running belt

using a damp cloth soaked in a solution of mild soap and water. To clean the

running belt and the groves on the plastic trim strip, use a soft nylon scrub

brush. Never pour water or spray liquids on the electronic console. Allow the

treadmill to dry completely before using.

Before aligning the running belt, check its operation by following the procedure

. If you determine that the belt

needs alignment, follow the instructions here.
