Treadmills are fitness equipment that simulate running and walking exercises. Running and walking are full-body aerobic exercises. The treadmill is powered by electricity, which drives rollers that move the rubber belt. As you run, the belt moves, and by adjusting the speed of the belt, you can regulate the workout intensity.

Treadmill Regular Maintenance
Clean the Display and Main Unit: Use a neutral detergent and water to clean the display screen and entire main unit. Avoid using ammonia-based or acidic detergents. It is recommended to use a soft, non-abrasive cotton cloth, applying the detergent to the cloth to clean the equipment. Do not apply detergent directly to any part of the machine.

Check the Emergency Stop System: Test the emergency stop system daily.

Check the Belt for Misalignment: Ensure the belt is not misaligned every day.

Check for Loose Fasteners: Check that the machine’s fasteners are not loose.

Vacuum Around the Belt: Use a vacuum to clean around the belt to prevent debris buildup.

Monthly Dusting: Dust the space underneath the treadmill once a month. Apply silicone oil (under the treadmill belt) every 1-2 months.

Check for Wear and Tear: Regularly inspect external wear parts, especially the belt and the running platform. The treadmill should be in use for at least an hour daily to reduce the chance of motor dampness.

Maintenance of the Running Deck: The running deck should be waxed with silicone-based lubricant once every 33-360 months.

Elliptical Trainer Maintenance
Elliptical trainers are full-function fitness machines that simulate elliptical motion, which is an effective full-body aerobic workout. They have low-impact on the lower joints, making them ideal for extended aerobic sessions.

Clean the Pedals and Display: Clean the surface of the pedals and display screen daily to remove dirt and sweat.

Clean the Display and Main Unit: Use a neutral detergent and water to clean the display screen and entire main unit. Avoid using ammonia-based or acidic detergents. Again, use a soft cotton cloth for cleaning and avoid direct application of detergent to the equipment.

Clean the Support and Handrails: Wipe down the support frame and moving handrails daily to remove sweat and dirt.

Strength Equipment Maintenance
Check Electrical Cables: Inspect for any fraying or cuts in the electrical wires. Also, check that screws on various components are not loose and that no parts are wobbly or unstable. If any issues are found, secure them immediately. If they can’t be resolved, notify the manufacturer.

Listen for Abnormal Sounds: Pay attention to any unusual noises during use. If something sounds off, stop using the equipment immediately to prevent further damage, and notify the manufacturer for repairs.

Clean After Use: Wipe the exterior of the machine with a slightly damp cloth after use, paying special attention to areas with sweat stains. If possible, wipe down the machine with a water-based wax once a week to protect against rusting and paint chipping, especially on the weight guide rails and sliding tracks.
