Care of your TreadClimber
®
Exercise Machine
Helpful Hints
Read all maintenance instructions thoroughly
before beginning work. In some cases, an
assistant is required to perform the necessary
tasks. All references to the right or left side, and to
the front or back are made as if you were on the
TreadClimber ® machine ready to exercise.
Initial Service
Upon receiving your TreadClimber ® machine, use
a soft, clean towel to wipe off the dust that may
have accumulated during shipping. Your new
machine will require minor assembly. Refer to the
Assembly Guide section of this manual for details.
Accessories
For best performance, we recommend your
TreadClimber® machine be placed on a rubber
machine (treadmill) mat. Along with reducing
noise, a rubber mat will help keep dust and debris
away from your TreadClimber® machine’s motor
and belts, and will reduce static electricity, which
could otherwise cause a sudden charge to the
TreadClimber® machine’s electronic components.
The Bowflex ® TreadClimber ® Machine Mat is
a professional-quality machine mat designed
specifically to fit under your Bowflex ®
TreadClimber ® fitness machine and provide added
stability. In addition to protecting your floors from
scratches and perspiration, the machine mat
reduces your TreadClimber ® motor’s exposure to
dust and debris. And it gives your workout area a
clean, finished look.

Cleaning
General cleaning of the TreadClimber ® machine
will prolong the life of your machine and improve
performance.
Keep the unit clean by dusting regularly. Be sure
to dust the exposed part of the deck on either side
of the walking belts and also the side rails.
Clean the top of the belt with a damp, soapy cloth
and wipe carefully and thoroughly with a dry cloth.
Be careful to keep liquid away from inside the
base frame and beneath the belts.
