Maintenance Instructions - SPORTSTECH VPX600 Manuel

WARNING
Before cleaning or carrying out any maintenance on your treadmill, ensure the power is turned off
and the power cord removed from the plug socket. At least once a year, the motor cover on your
treadmill should be removed and any dust or debris vacuumed up to maintain the smooth operation
of the motor and drive system.
CLEANING
General cleaning the unit will greatly prolong the treadmills working life. Keep the treadmill clean by
dusting regularly. Be sure to clean the exposed parts of the deck surface on both side of the walking
belt and also the side rails. Make sure the soles of your shoes are clean, this reduces the build up of
foreign material underneath the running belt. The top of the belt can be cleaned with a slightly damp
cloth. Be careful to keep liquid away from the electrical components and underneath the running
belt.
The belt/ deck friction may play a major role in the function and life of your treadmill, thus requiring
periodic lubrication. We recommend a periodic inspection of the deck.
We recommend lubrication of the deck according to the following timetable
• Light user (less than 3 hours/ week) annually
• Medium user (3-5 hours/ week) every six months
• Heavy user (more than 5 hours/ week) every three months
Treadmill lubricating oil can be purchased from your nearest Fitness store or our Service Department.
1. In order to maintain and prolong the working life of your treadmill, we suggest you power off the
treadmill for 10 minutes after every 2 hours of running use.
2. A loose running belt may slip when you are running and may require a small adjustment; if the
running belt is over tightened it can affect the performance of the motor and add extra wear to the
rollers. For ideal tension, the running belt can be lifted 50-75mm from the central part of the running
deck.
