To clean the motor components, you must remove the two Phillips head screws that hold the
motor cover in place. Lift the cover, and put it and the screws aside. Use a vacuum
attachment or hand vacuum to clean the exposed elevation assembly, drive motor, lower
electronics and the surrounding areas.
Also use a dry cloth for the areas that you can't reach with the vacuum cleaner. If the machine
has not been used for some time or is excessively dirty, use a dry cloth to wipe all exposed
areas. Replace the cover and screws when finished.
With the help of another person, lift the rear of the treadmill and roll it back from its present
position so as to vacuum the floor area underneath the unit. Wipe clean the underside of
the 710T to prevent dirt and dust build-up. When finished, return the treadmill to its
normal position.
Contact Heart Rate Grips — Contaminants, such as hand lotions, oils or body powder, may
come off on the contact heart rate grips. These can reduce sensitivity and interfere with the
heart rate signal. It is recommended that the user have clean hands when using the contact
heart rate. Clean the grips using a cloth dampened with a cleaning solution containing alcohol.
The grips are the only part of the treadmill you should use a cleaning solution containing alcohol.
In addition, the nickel plating on the 710T may become tarnished and blackened with time.
This may reduce sensitivity and interfere with the heart rate signal. Use an emery cloth to
remove the tarnish from the exposed nickel plating on the heart rate grips.
Running Belt Maintenance
Belt and Deck — Clean the belt and the deck surfaces to minimize the effect of friction
between the wood deck and the running belt. Clean the underside of the running belt and the
top of the running deck surface by wiping them with a clean dry towel. This should be done
often to prevent premature wear of the deck, running belt, and the drive motor system. See
the Service Schedule in this chapter to determine the minimum recommended cleaning.
The running belt may become loose and slip on the drive roller with each foot plant. The 710T
is equipped with visual indicators of belt tension. These are located at the rear of the treadmill
where the two 3/4" bolts protrude from the plastic end caps. See Figure 1. These are
designed to indicate if the running belt is at the proper tension to insure safe operation of the
unit. If the belt has become loose, the silver colored washer located under the bolt will move
out slightly from the protruding tab molded in the end cap. See the Service Schedule in this
chapter to determine the minimum recommended checking of the belt tension.
