Star Trac TR1800S User manual

Dear Valued Customer,
By performing the following quick and easy rewaxing proceedure every 2000 miles (3000km), you will maximize the life of
your running belt, and reduce downtime due to premature wear of the deck and belt. The wax bottle enclosed contains
over 4 full applications. Keep these instructions with the bottle.
Important Note: You must install a new belt and new deck surface together. Most Star Trac decks are double-
sided, meaning they can be flipped to use both sides. Decks come with a coating of wax already impregnated
onto both sides of the deck. Once a deck surface has been used, it should never be used again!
The first initial coating of wax must be soaked into a new running belt. The powdered wax is used as a periodic
supplement to provide continued lubrication thoughout the life of the belt. Failure to install a new belt over a fresh
deck surface will cause the belt to burn along the center walking area, the edges will curl, electrical components
will create so much heat as to begin to fail, and will not be covered under warranty.
TREADMILL RUNNING BELT & DECK REWAXING PROCEDURE
TIME REQUIRED FREQUENCY
5 Minutes Every 2000 miles
(3000km) of use.
TOOLS & MATERIALS
1 Bottle or bag of wax powder
1 Clean towel
1 Paint stick or ruler
Diluted all-purpose cleaner
ySimple Green - 50% w/Water
y409 - 50% w/Water
WARM UP BELT:
Before applying wax, the belt should be warmed up. Run belt for several minutes, or apply wax within 5 minutes after
use. After applying wax, it will need to be walked in for maximun absorbtion. *If warming up the belt with no user, do not
leave treadmill unattended.
CAUTION: POWER OFF AND UNPLUG THE TREADMILL
1. CLEAN DECK & BELT:
A. Using the stick or ruler, slide a towel under the middle of the belt, from one side to the other.
B. Hold the edges of the towel and pull towards the back of the unit, then towards the front, then all the way back
again. Slide the belt to wipe completely.
2. LIFT BELT: Lift the left side (facing the display) of the belt, about 12 inches back from the front cover (see figure).
Hold the belt up to elevate it from the deck. *It is not necessary to loosen the belt from the rear adjustment.
3. SPREAD WAX:
•Bottle: Flip up the nozzle on the cap of the wax bottle. Point the nozzle at the deck. Be sure that the bottle is
tilted at a downward angle. Give the bottle 2 squeezes while aiming the wax under the belt on top of the deck.
Gently shake the bottle between each squeeze.
•Bag: Open bag enough to get 1 teaspoon of wax out. You will not need a heaping spoonful, rather just enough to
fill the spoon, a little over level. Spread the wax under the belt, gently blowing it to avoid piles or clumps.
4. Repeat Steps: Repeat steps 2 & 3, about 18 inches from the end of the deck.
5. Repeat Steps: Repeat steps 2, 3 & 4, on the right side of the unit.
6. WALK: Plug in the unit and turn it on. Start the treadmill at 1 mph and walk on the all sections of the belt and deck
for a minute to ensure the wax has been evenly distributed. Then proceed into a normal workout to allow the wax to
work into the belt properly.
7. CLEANUP: Wipe the side of the deck to remove any excess wax that was not absorbed.
