Maintaining the M9.5sp Treadmill

Cleaning the Treadmill
The M9.5sp Programmable Treadmill Ergometer requires little maintenance to
keep it running smoothly and efficiently. Typical maintenance tasks include
cleaning the treadmill and aligning the running belt. Instructions for both
procedures are provided in this section.
Cleaning the Treadmill
Your Precor treadmill relies on low friction for efficient operation. To keep the
friction low, the treadmill must be as clean as possible.
CAUTION: Turn OFF the treadmill and disconnect the power cord before
cleaning.
Before a workout, use a damp, soft cloth to clean the staging platform, running
bed, and between the belt and running bed surface as far as you can easily
reach. This removes any dirt or dust which might affect the smooth operation of
the treadmill.
Vacuum underneath the unit every week to prevent the accumulation of dust
and dirt on the running belt.
Periodically, clean the treadmill’s frame, control panel assembly, and running
belt. Use mild soap and water for this. To clean the running belt, use a soft
nylon scrub brush. Never pour water or spray liquids on the control panel. Allow
the treadmill to dry completely before using.
Aligning the Running Belt
The correct alignment of the running belt is critical to the smooth operation of
the treadmill. The belt is properly aligned at the factory. However, during
shipping and handling or by use on an uneven surface, the belt may move off
center and require a few simple adjustments.
Before adjusting the running belt, check its operation by following the steps in
Checking the Alignment of the Running Belt
earlier in this manual. If you
determine that the belt needs adjustment, follow the instructions here.
CAUTION: To avoid injury, special care must be taken when adjusting the
running belt. Turn OFF the treadmill and wait for the running belt to come
to a complete stop before adjusting or working near the rear roller.
Remove any loose clothing and tie back your hair. Be very careful to keep
your fingers or any other object clear of the belt and rollers. The treadmill
will not stop immediately if any object becomes caught in the belt or
rollers.
