6.1 PREVENTATIVE MAINTENANCE T
IPS
The Life Fitness treadmill is backed by the engineering excellence and reliability of Life Fitness
and is one of the most rugged and trouble-free pieces of exercise equipment on the market
today. Commercial Life Fitness treadmills are among the most popular of aerobic trainers, regu-
larly standing up to marathon use - 18 hours a day, seven days a week - in health clubs, col-
leges and military facilities the world over.
NOTE: Safety of the equipment can be maintained only if the equipment is examined regularly
for damage or wear. Keep the equipment out of use until defective parts are repaired or
replaced. Pay special attention to parts that are subject to wear, as outlined below.
The following preventive maintenance tips will keep the Life Fitness treadmill operating at peak
performance:
• Clean the display console and all exterior surfaces regularly with mild soap and water or
a mild household cleaner. DO NOT use paper towels, ammonia or acid based cleaners.*
• Check operation of the emergency stop system once a week.
• Check the operation of the stop button once a week.
• Inspect and vacuum the area directly surrounding and under the unit regularly.
• Vacuum around the striding belt regularly to keep debris from accumulating.
• Inspect exterior parts regularly for wear, particularly the striding belt, deck and line cord.
• Check to make sure the unit is properly leveled.
• Check the position (centering) of the striding belt.
The optimum operating position of the striding belt is from 1.5 inches (38 mm) to 2.0 inches
(51 mm) from either side of the frame. If the striding belt travels beyond this position, see sec-
tion 6.5, titled How to Adjust and Tension the Striding Belt, or contact Life Fitness Customer
Support Services, for proper alignment instructions, 1-800-351-3737 (USA).
*NOTE: When cleaning the exterior of the unit, a non-abrasive cleaner and soft cotton cloth are
strongly recommended. At no time should cleaner be applied directly to any part of the equip-
ment; use non-abrasive cleaner on a soft cloth and then wipe the unit. Contact Life Fitness cus-
tomer Support Services for more details (See Section 6.7 - “How to Obtain Product Service”).
