BEFORE YOU START
CARE OF YOUR TREADCLIMBER® FITNESS MACHINE
Helpful Hints
Read all maintenance instructions thoroughly before beginning any repair 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® fitness machine facing the console ready to exercise. 
Initial Service
Upon receiving your TreadClimber® fitness machine, use a soft, clean towel to wipe off the dust that may have 
accumulated during shipping. Your new fitness machine will require minor assembly. Refer to the Assembly Guide in this 
manual for details.
Accessories
For best performance, we recommend your TreadClimber® fitness 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® fitness 
machine’s motor and belts, and will reduce static electricity, which could otherwise cause a sudden charge to the 
TreadClimber® fitness 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, it gives your workout area a clean, finished look.
For more information on this accessory and other Bowflex® products available from Nautilus, Inc. check out: www.
nautilus.com or www.treadclimber.com. Or contact a Nautilus Representative listed in the Important Contact Numbers 
section of this manual. 
Cleaning 
General cleaning of the TreadClimber® fitness machine will prolong the life of your machine and improve performance.
Keep the unit clean by dusting regularly. Be sure to dust exposed portion of the deck, either side of the walking belts and 
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. 
ALWAYS TURN-OFF THE POWER SWITCH AND UNPLUG THE POWER CORD 
FROM  THE  WALL  OUTLET  BEFORE  CLEANING  TO  AVOID  THE  RISK  OF 
ELECTROCUTION, SHOCK OR PERSONAL INJURY.
