20 Chapter 6: Care & Maintenance Care & Maintenance It is important to perform the minor maintenance tasks described in this section. Failure to maintain the treadmill as described here could void the Warranty. To reduce the risk of electrical shock, always unplug the unit from its power source before cleaning or performing any maintenance tasks. Inspection: Inspect the treadmill daily. Look and listen for loose fasteners, unusual noises, worn or frayed power cords, and any other indications that the equipment may be in need of service. If you notice any of these, obtain service. IMPORTANT: If you determine that the treadmill needs service, make sure that the treadmill cannot be used inadvertently. Turn the unit Off, and then let users know that the treadmill needs service. Cleaning the Equipment: MOBILITY RESEARCH recommends the treadmill be cleaned before and after each workout. Use mild soap and water to dampen a soft cloth and wipe all exposed surfaces. This helps remove any dust or dirt. Clean the display console regularly with mild soap and water or a mild household cleaner. DO NOT use paper towels, ammonia or acid based cleaners. * CAUTION: Do not use any acidic cleaners. Doing so will weaken the paint or powder coatings and may void the Warranty. Never pour water or spray liquids on any part of the treadmill. Allow the treadmill to dry completely before using. Frequently vacuum the floor underneath the unit to prevent the accumulation of dust and dirt, which can affect the smooth operation of the unit. *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 equipment; use nonabrasive cleaner of soft cloth and then wipe the unit. Long Term Storage: When the treadmill is not in use for any length of time, turn it off. Make sure the power cord is unplugged from the power source and position the power and data cords so that they will not become damaged or interfere with people or other equipment. TREADBELT LUBRICATION For average use of the treadmill, we recommend you lubricate under the tread belt once per year. For heavy use, which is more than 10 hours per week, we recommend that you lubricate every six months. Contact MOBIITY REASEARCH for purchase of lubrication. Only use lubrication provided by MOBILITY RESEARCH. 20

21 TREADBELT LUBRICATION Application Step 1: Perform push off test Enter calibration mode by removing the red magnetic safety key. Then press and hold the UP and DOWN buttons while inserting the safety key. WARNING: DO NOT PRESS START. Pressing START begins calibration and initiates movement of treadmill belt and incline. Keep hands and loose articles of clothing away from belt while belt is moving. WARNING: DO NOT STEP ON TREADMILL BELT DURING CALIBRATION. Calibration initiates movement of treadmill belt and incline. The speed and incline both increases to maximum values during calibration. Due to the high spends and steep incline, stepping on belt during calibration may result in injury. Once in calibration mode elevate to the highest elevation speed should be set to 0. Stand on the tread belt positioning yourself close to the console; push off with moderate force. The elevation combined with your weight and the force of the push should cause the belt to carry you at least ¾ of the way to the end of the machine. If the test does not carry you at least ¾ of the way to the end of the machine, lubricate the belt using the manufactured recommended lubricant. To exit calibration mode remove magnetic safety key. Please contact MOBILITY RESEARCH Technical support for additional information regarding the treadmill lubricant. Step 2: Preparing the Treadmill Unplug treadmill from the wall. The deck and underside of the walk belt should be clean and free from any foreign matter. Use a clean cloth towel to remove debris from deck and underside of the walk belt. Step 3: Apply Silicone to treadmill Cut the corner of the single application lube packet and apply it to deck surface. Expose deck surface by lifting the edge of the running belt. Generously apply the silicone lubricant to the deck surface, spread evenly to cover surface. Repeat from the other side to insure coverage to the center of the deck. Plug the power cord into the wall outlet and power up the unit. Walk on the treadmill at low speed to spread the lubricant evenly through the belt and deck. Machine is now ready for use. 21
