Care of the Machine
The Bowflex
®
TreadClimber
®
machine’s safety and integrity can only be maintained when it is regularly examined
for damage and immediately repaired. It is the sole responsibility of the owner to ensure that regular maintenance
is performed. Worn or damaged components must be replaced immediately and the TreadClimber
®
machine shall
remain unused until the required repair is made. Only manufacturer-supplied or approved components shall be
used to maintain and repair the TreadClimber
®
machine.
Always unplug your TreadClimber
®
machine from the outlet before cleaning or servicing the unit.
Helpful Hints
Read all of the maintenance instructions thoroughly before assembling or using the TreadClimber
®
exercise machine. In some
cases, an assistant is required to perform the necessary maintenance tasks. All references to the right or left side, and to the
front or back are made as if you were on the TreadClimber
®
machine ready to exercise.
Initial Service
Use a soft, clean towel to wipe off the dust that may have accumulated during shipping. The TreadClimber
®
machine will
require minor assembly. Refer to the Assembly Guide section of this manual for details.
Accessories
For the best performance, we recommend that the TreadClimber
®
machine be placed on a rubber machine (treadmill) mat.
The rubber mat will help keep dust and debris away from the TreadClimber
®
machine’s motor and belts, reduce noise and
increase stability. The Bowflex
®
TreadClimber
®
Machine Mat is professional quality and is designed specifically to fit under
the Bowflex
®
TreadClimber
®
fitness machine. The mat protects floors from scratches and perspiration and it gives workout
areas a clean, finished look.

Cleaning
General cleaning of the TreadClimber
®
machine will prolong the life of the machine 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 belts and the side rails.
Clean the top of the belt with a damp, soapy cloth and wipe carefully and thoroughly with a dry cloth. Be careful to keep
liquid away from inside the base frame and beneath the belts.
