SRFFIT006B Maintain and use equipment Preventive maintenance will help you avoid accidents or injury due to machines breaking down or malfunctioning. Routine maintenance of your treadmill exercise equipment should include cleaning and inspecting the walking belt. Use a dry cloth to clean the area between the walking belt and the deck underneath. Don't use cleaning solvents, as these can damage the paint, the lubrication, or other surfaces. On all equipment, check for loose bolts, frayed cables, cracked weight plates and make sure all moving parts glide smoothly. Any metal parts or chrome should be kept dry and dust free. Wipe after every workout and polish and oil every week or so. Taking care of your fitness equipment will insure a longer life for the apparatus. 18/09/2018

SRFFIT006B Maintain and use equipment How to Take Care of Your Treadmill Exercise Equipment Perspiration Every time you finish a workout, you should take a dry towel and wipe any sweat from off the treadmill. Sweat has corrosive properties and over time can damage the belt on your treadmill exercise equipment. Sweat can also make the belt slick and therefore unsafe for anyone planning to exercise on it after you. 18/09/2018

SRFFIT006B Maintain and use equipment Dust Dust and dirt can also interfere with your electronic board and inhibit the movement of the belt. Because of this, you should dust your treadmill exercise equipment at least once a week; a clean dry cloth should be used to remove dust from the belt and the area under the belt, and you can use a moist cloth on the electronic board, but be sure that it is only moist, and not dripping wet. Every two or three months, you should gently remove the hood of the machine to wipe away any dust or dirt that has accumulated inside. 18/09/2018

SRFFIT006B Maintain and use equipment Belt Maintenance Once a month or so, you should check the belt on your treadmill to make sure it is aligned and that it still fits snugly. The belts on some of the new machines especially tend to loosen after the first few uses. You can usually find the screws to tighten the belt at the back of the machine - but be careful not to tighten too much. A quarter turn may be all that is needed. A gentle tug will get the belt back into alignment if it is askew. Remember that if you have trouble tightening or realigning the belt, you should seek advice from the manufacturer or the fitness store where you bought your treadmill exercise equipment. Most new treadmill machines do not require belt lubrication, and therefore you should only lubricate your belt if the manufacturer specifically recommends it. Most of the manufacturers who do recommend regular lubrication sell kits with instructions and all the equipment you need to make quick work of the task. Caring for your treadmill is not at all time consuming, and taking the proper care of your equipment will extend the life of the machine. If you are uncertain about the specific care that is recommended for your treadmill, contact the manufacturer for additional information. 18/09/2018
