unusual symptoms, such as display codes and blown circuit breakers, should be reported to STAR TRAC CUSTOMER SERVICES

any components are found to be worn or damaged, the TreadClimber
should be removed from service until repairs can be made. Only components supplied or approved by Star Trac shall be used to

Daily Maintenance
■
Remove excessive accumulations of dust, dirt, and other substances by using a clean soft cloth and a non-abrasive liquid cleaner,
such as Formula 409
TM
or FANTASTIK
TM
. Wipe down the display board, handrails, shroud and heart rate grips.
NOTE: DO NOT spray the cleaner directly onto the display board or heart rate grips. Do not use liquid cleaner under the running belt.
■
To ensure the longevity of the running belts, clean under the running belts with a soft, dry cloth. To clean, slide the cloth between the
running belt and deck from one side of the frame to the other (you may need a ruler or similar tool to slide the towel under the belt),
then, holding the edges of the cloth, pull the cloth from the headroller down to the tailroller.
NOTE: DO NOT clean the running belt by activating the treadmill.
■
Inspect the running belts for alignment and tension. Do not tighten the running belt every day. If you notice slipping, adjust the run-
ning belt tension using the instructions provided in “Adjustments-Slipping-Running Belt” (later in this chapter), or contact Customer
Services as described at the beginning of this chapter.
■
Ensure the power cord is not under moving parts of the TreadClimber. This will prevent the power cord
from being pinched or from binding up the treadles.
Weekly Maintenance
■
Vacuum the floor under and around the TreadClimber. Do so by moving the TreadClimber by STAR TRAC with its rollers to another
spot.
NOTE: Take care not to damage the power cord while vacuuming.
■
Inspect the inside surface of the running belt if the belt fiber are frayed excesively, (it will feel fuzzy to the touch), replace the belt.
NOTE: Never install a new running belt on a used deck.

Inspect the display and handrail screws for security, and retighten if necessary.

protected by the shroud.
