Common Product Questions - Horizon Fitness Omega Owner's Manual

COMMON PRODUCT QUESTIONS

Are the sounds my treadmill makes normal?
All treadmills make a certain type of thumping noise due to the belt
riding over the rollers, especially new treadmills. This noise will diminish
over time, although may not totally go away. Over time, the belt will
stretch, causing the belt to ride smoother over the rollers.
Why is the treadmill I had delivered louder than the one at the
store?
All fitness products seem quieter in a large store showroom because
there is generally more background noise than in your home. Also,
there will be less reverberation on a carpeted concrete floor than on a
wood overlay floor. Sometimes a heavy rubber mat will help reduce
reverberation through the floor. If a fitness product is placed close to a
wall, there will be more reflected noise.
When should I be worried about a noise?
As long as the sounds your treadmill makes are no louder that a
normal conversational tone of voice, it is considered normal noise. If
your treadmill is louder than this, you may want to call the Horizon
Fitness Customer Service Center @ 1.888.993.3199. Sometimes an
initial diagnosis can be made over the phone.
MAINTENANCE
What kind of routine maintenance is required?
We use sealed bearings throughout our treadmill so lubrication is not
needed. The most important maintenance step is to simply wipe your
perspiration off the treadmill after each use.
How do I clean my Horizon Fitness Treadmill?
Clean with soap and water cleaners only. Never use solvents on plastic
parts.
