Maintenance

NordicTrack's

WalkFit"

aerobic

exerciser

is

built

to

require

minimum

maintenance.

Performing

the

following

mainte-

nance

tips

will

help

to

ensure

the

safe

and

efficient

opera-

tion

of

your

WalkFit

exerciser.

CLEAN

YOUR

WALKFIT

We

recommend

that

you

wipe

down

your

WalkFit

with

a

clean,

dry

cloth

after

each

workout.

Periodically

inspect

the

fl

ywheel

and

drag

strap

for

a

build-

up

of

dirt

or

gummy

residue.

If

such

a

buildup

does

exist,

clean

the

fl

ywheel

and

drag

strap

as

instructed

in

the

sec-

tions

that

follow.

The

frequency

of

cleaning

depends

upon

the

surrounding

conditions

and

how

much

you

use

your

WalkFit.

Erratic

or

jerky

resistance

may

occur

if

the

fl

ywheel

and

drag

strap

are

not

cleaned

properly.

If

this occurs,

clean

the

fl

ywheel

and

drag

strap

as

instructed.

OIL

THE

UPPER

-BODY

EXERCISER

There

are

four

round,

leather

brake

pads

at

the

base

of

the

arm

exerciser.

If

they

begin

to

squeak,

place

a

few

drops

of

light

household

oil

on

each

pad

and

exercise

for

two

to

three

minutes

(using

the

poles).

Let

the

oil

stand

overnight

and

wipe

off

any

excess

oil

before

using

your

WalkFit.

Figure

1:

Place

a

few

drops

of

house-

hold

oil

on

each

of

the

four

brake

pads.

NOTE:

Do

not

use

too

much

oil

or

it

may

splatter.

CLEANING

THE

FLYWHEEL

1.

Place

500

-grit

sandpaper

between

the

drag

strap

and

the

fl

ywheel.

The

sandpaper

should

be

folded

to

fit

neatly

into

the

groove

of

the

fl

ywheel

with

the

grit

against

the

fl

ywheel.

2.

Exercise

for

two

to

three

minutes.

Remove

the

sandpaper.

3.

Wipe

the

flywheel

groove

with

a

clean

cloth

dampened

with

rubbing

alcohol.

4.

Wipe

the

fl

ywheel

with

a

dry,

lint

-free

cloth.

REMOVE

AND

CLEAN

THE

DRAG

STRAP

1.

Disconnect

and

remove

the

drag

strap

from

the

fl

y-

wheel.

Be

sure

to

note

how

the

drag

strap

is

routed

on

the

WalkFit.

2.

Scrub

both

sides

of

the

drag

strap

with

a

dry,

clean

cloth

or

stiff

bristled

brush.

Or,

hold

both

ends

of

the

drag

strap

in

one

hand

and,

with

your

other

hand,

snap

the

drag

strap

like

you

would

a

belt.

Never

wash

the

drag

strap

with

water

or

any

cleaner

because

it

will

shrink.

3.

Place

the

drag

strap

back

on

the

WalkFit

with

the

side

that

was
