5. Maintenance
Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your treadmill.
5.1 Lubrication
The treadmill features an individual easy-self lubrication hole. Refer to the physical manual for the exact location. Apply the recommended lubricant (typically silicone-based) into this hole as per the schedule provided in the physical manual (e.g., every 3 months or after a certain number of hours of use). Proper lubrication reduces friction and extends the life of the running belt and motor.
5.2 Cleaning
- Always unplug the treadmill before cleaning.
- Wipe down the console and exterior surfaces with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents.
- Periodically vacuum underneath the treadmill to remove dust and debris that can accumulate.
5.3 Storage
To store the treadmill, lift the running deck until it locks into the upright, folded position. The hydraulic system assists in this process. The built-in transportation wheels allow for effortless movement. Store in a dry, cool place away from direct sunlight.
