TAKING CARE OF YOUR TREADMILL

W A R N I N G

ALWAYS UNPLUG THE TREADMILL FROM THE ELECTRICAL OUTLET BEFORE CLEANING, LUBRICATING, OR SERVICING THE UNIT.

CLEANING

General cleaning of the treadmill will prolong the life of the treadmill and improve performance.

Keep the unit clean by dusting regularly. Be sure to dust the exposed part of the deck on either side of the walking belt and also the side rails.

For best performance, we recommend your treadmill be placed on a treadmill mat. Along with reducing noise, a treadmill mat will help to keep dust debris away from your treadmill’s critical components.

Clean the top of the belt with a wet, soapy cloth. Be careful to keep liquid away from inside the motorized treadmill frame or underneath the belt.

Dust and lint can accumulate under the motor cover and should be vacuumed out at least once a year. To do so, FIRST UNPLUG THE UNIT. Then, remove the motor cover and carefully vacuum under the cover and around the machinery. REPLACE THE COVER BEFORE PLUGGING THE UNIT BACK INTO THE OUTLET.

WALKING BELT AND DECK LUBRICATION

This treadmill is equipped with a pre-lubricated deck and belt system. The deck and belt friction may affect the function and life of your treadmill; we recommend periodic lubrication. We also recommend a periodic inspection of the deck surface under the walking belt. If the deck appears worn, contact our

service department at 800-NAUTILUS (800-628-8458) or e-mailcstech@nautilus.com.

Use the following timetable as a guide to lubricate the deck:

• Light user (less than 3 hours/week)

annually

• Medium user (3-5 hours/week)

every six months

• Heavy user (more than 5 hours/week)

every three months

We recommend that you use the following:
