Maintenance Instructions

WARNING! Before performing any maintenance to your treadmill, always unplug the power cord from the surge protector.

CLEANING

Routine cleaning of your Smooth treadmill will extend the life of your treadmill. WARNING! To prevent electrical shock, be sure the power to the treadmill is OFF and the unit unplugged from the wall electrical outlet before attempting any cleaning or maintenance.

AFTER EACH WORKOUT: Wipe off the console and other treadmill surfaces with a clean, water dampened soft cloth to remove excess perspiration. USE NO CHEMICALS.

WEEKLY: Use of a treadmill mat is recommended for ease of cleaning. Dirt from your shoes contacts the belt and eventually makes it to underneath the treadmill. Vacuum underneath treadmill once a week.

DECK LUBRICATION

The walking belt has been pre-lubricated at the factory. However, it is recommended that the walking board be checked periodically for lubrication to ensure optimal treadmill performance. Your treadmill should not have to be lubricated usually within the first year or 500 hours of use. If you have questions, call us at (888) 340-0482.

Every 30 days or 30 hours of operation, lift the sides of the walking belt and feel the top surface of the walking board as far under as you can reach. If you feel signs of silicone, no further lubrication is required. If it feels dry to the touch, follow the instructions below.

Please use Lube ‘N Walk (can be purchased from your dealer or call the number on the front of the manual), or a non-petroleum based silicone such as “Napa 8300” (available at most stores).

TO APPLY LUBRICANT TO THE WALKING BOARD

1)Position the walking belt so that the seam is located on top and in the center of the center of the walking board.

2)Insert the spray nozzle into the spray head of the lubricant can.

3)While lifting the side of the walking belt, position the spray nozzle between the walking belt and the board approximately 6” from the front of the treadmill. Apply the silicone spray to the walking board, moving from the front of the treadmill to the rear. Repeat this on the other side of the belt. Spray approximately 4 seconds on each side.

4)Allow the silicone to ‘set’ for one minute before using the treadmill.
