Keep Your Horizon Series Product in Shape

Keep your Horizon Series product operating in tip-top shape by following the recommended maintenance schedule found in your owner's manual. Some things to keep in mind:

After each use
  • Inspect the power cords. Contact Horizon Fitness if they're damaged.
  • Unplug and wipe away any dust or other particles that have accumulated on or near your treadmill or elliptical using a damp cloth. Never use solvents, as they can damage the products.
  • Make sure the power cord is not underneath the equipment or in any other area where it can become pinched or cut.
  • Check the tension and alignment of your treadmill's running belt. A misaligned belt could potentially damage other machine components.
Weekly
  • Clean the area underneath your treadmill or elliptical. Start by unplugging it and moving it to a remote area. Remember to fold up your treadmill to the upright position with the lock latch secure. Vacuum any dust particles or other objects that may have accumulated underneath the product.
Monthly
  • Inspect and tighten all assembly bolts and pedals for proper tightness.
  • Ellipticals: Clean any debris off of the pedal arm wheels and guide rails.
  • Treadmills: It is very important to clean the motor and lower board area. Failure to do so may cause premature failure of key electrical components. Consult your owner's manual for the proper steps to take to access and clean this area.
6 Months
  • For your Horizon Series treadmill, lubricate the area underneath the belt and on top of the running deck to maintain optimal performance. Consult your owner's manual for step-by-step instructions.

If you have additional questions or concerns about maintenance of your Horizon Series product, please contact Customer Tech Support.
