Other Preventive Maintenance
Other preventive maintenance activities must be completed by a qualified service technician
at the recommended intervals listed in the Service Schedule at the end of this chapter. These
activities include:
• Measure the motor brushes and replace worn motor brushes
• Replace the running deck and bushings
• Replace the running belt
Elevation Motor Lubrication — In time the elevation motor pivot points may develop a
squeak. Lubricate the upper and lower bolts and the spacers with a small amount of lithium
grease. NOTE: You can buy lithium grease at an auto parts store.
Static Electricity — Depending upon where you live, you may experience dry air, causing a
common experience of static electricity. This may be especially true in the winter time. You
may notice a static build-up just by walking across a carpet and then touching a metal object.
The same can hold true while working out on your treadmill. You may experience a shock due
to the build-up of static electricity on your body and the discharge path of the treadmill. If you
experience this type of situation, you may want to increase the humidity to a comfortable level
through the use of a humidifier.
