3.10: How Power Input Versus Displayed Value is Calculated

Total power, as displayed in Watts on the console, is calculated from the measured speed of the fan and the resistance provided by the Eddy Current Brake. Variability of the fan power due to atmospheric conditions is compensated for by incorporating feedback from an on-board barometric pressure and temperature sensors.

Chapter 4: Maintenance

All preventive maintenance activities must be performed on a regular basis. Performing routine preventive maintenance actions can aid in providing safe, trouble-free operation of all Life Fitness equipment.

Life Fitness is not responsible for performing regular inspection and maintenance actions for your machines. Instruct all personnel in equipment inspection and maintenance actions and also in accident reporting and recording. Life Fitness representatives are available to answer any questions that you may have.

4.1: Warnings

Note:
Note:
Warning: Equipment hazard.

To avoid serious injury or death replace worn or damaged components immediately and keep the equipment out of use until repair is completed.

4.2: Clean Unit

Tools Required
  • Cleaning solution
  • Rubbing alcohol
  • Clean cloth
  • Vacuum
After Each Use

Wipe up any liquid spills immediately. After each workout, use a cloth to wipe up any remaining perspiration from the handrails and painted surfaces.

Be careful not to spill or get excessive moisture between the edge of the display panel and the console, as this might create an electrical hazard or cause failure of the electronics.

As Needed

Vacuum any dust or dirt that might accumulate under or around the unit. Cleaning this area should be done as often as indicated in the Service Schedule.

Clean Console
Notice: Do not spray cleaning solution directly on the console.

Direct spraying could cause damage to the electronics and may void the warranty.

  • Spray a mild cleaning agent on a clean cloth.
  • Clean the console and cup holder with a damp cloth.
Clean Base
  • Spray a mild cleaning agent on a clean cloth.
  • Clean the base of the unit with a damp cloth.

4.3: Batteries

The console is powered with two, D cell, alkaline batteries.

If the battery level is 10% or lower, The console will display LOW BATTERY at start up.

Replace the batteries if LOW BATTERY appears at start up,

Storage or long non-use periods

When not using product for more than six months, the batteries should be removed to prevent leakage.

4.3.1: Check Battery Level

The battery level can be checked through the console.
  1. Press and hold the Up arrow and Down arrow for 3 seconds.
  2. Navigate in the Toolbox menu to DIAGNOSTICS with the Down arrow.
  3. Press the GO/Enter key to enter DIAGNOSTICS.

  4. The BATTERY level is displayed on the DIAGNOSTICS screen.

    • Levels 20-100% - Batteries are good.
    • Levels 0-10% - Batteries need to be replaced.
  5. Press the GO/Enter key to go BACK to the toolbox menu.
  6. Press the Down arrow to select EXIT in the setup menu.
  7. Press the GO/Enter key to exit Toolbox.

4.3.2: Battery Life Expectations

Engineering tests show an average battery life of around 1,080 hours (45 days) straight at 24 hours a day which translates to:

  • 1,080 days at 1 hour a day (close to 3 Years)
  • 540 days at 2 hours a day
  • 360 days at 3 hours a day
  • Average battery life is expected to be around 3 years.

Recommended 18,000 mAh Alkaline batteries D-Cell Batteries:

  • Energizer E95
  • Energizer Max
  • Duracell MN1300
  • Duracell PC1300 Pro
  • Panasonic LR20-D
  • The OEM batteries are all very high A/Hr (see above) where generic replacements will not be as good.
Note: Engineering did not test Lithium or Rechargeable batteries. Most rechargeable batteries are 1.2v (vs. 1.5v on an Alkaline battery) so their combined fully-charged starting voltage is only 2.4v and will likely trigger the LOW BATTERY message indefinitely.

4.3.3: Battery Replacement

Replace batteries with two new, D cell, alkaline batteries. If replacement batteries are weak and have a battery level of 40% or lower, the LOW BATTERY screen will continue to be displayed at start up.
Note: Do not use rechargeable batteries.
Tools required:

  • Flat head screwdriver

Notice: Component damage.

Replace with two, D cell, alkaline batteries only. Always use two new equal batteries, of the same current rating and manufacturer.

  1. Remove the battery access cover by loosening the screw using a flat head screwdriver. The screw will remain in the battery access cover.
