Keep Your Treadmill Clean And Dust Free
Dusting between the belt and deck at least once a week
will ensure longevity of the machine. The deck should be kept dry and
debris-free at all times. In addition, make sure the area where you
place your treadmill is relatively dust-free, to minimize the dust from
getting between the belt and/or the deck.
Apply the following
cleaning procedure once a week or as needed:
Wipe down display with a mild solution of non-phosphate cleaner on
damp soft cotton. Cloth should be damp, not wet.
Wipe down handrails and traction strips with soft cotton cloth and
mild soap and water. Cloth should be damp, not wet.
Vacuum or wipe down the deck area between treadbelt and frame.
For once a month cleaning:
Unplug treadmill. Let it sit for 10 minutes. Take off motor cover and
vacuum inside the motor area, being very careful not to directly touch
the static-sensitive electronics.
Slide clean towel under tread belt and wipe deck and under the belt.
Rotate belt 180 degrees and repeat.
Apply lubrication (only when recommended) under tread belt.
Check drive belt tension and adjust as necessary.
Check tread belt tension and tracking and adjust as necessary.
Cleanliness is necessary to keep your treadmill 'healthy' from inside as
well as from outside. So, just keep it clean.
