Maintenance of Firepaw Dog Treadmills
Firepaw Dog Treadmills are designed with high-quality materials, requiring minimal maintenance. However, to ensure optimal performance and longevity, we recommend the following care tips:
Bearings in Aluminum Wheels and Shafts
-
Lubrication: Periodically apply a thin grease (e.g., WD-40 or similar) to the bearings.
-
For intensive use or use in dusty areas: Lubricate once a month.
-
For less frequent use in a dust-free room: Lubricate every 2–3 months.
Wooden Running Belt: Cleaning and Protection
-
Moisture Protection:
The wooden running belt may deform with exposure to moisture. Although it is treated with a protective coating, the dog’s nails may wear down the top layer over time.
Apply a natural varnish periodically to protect the wood in humid areas or where water contact is possible. -
Cleaning:
Use a natural wood cleaner for the running area. Avoid harsh chemicals.
Plastic Sides: Cleaning and Prevention
-
Heat Sensitivity: Keep the sides away from direct sunlight or heaters to prevent deformation.
-
Cleaning: Use water or a window cleaner with a clean cloth or sponge to avoid scratches.
Metal Frame
-
Made of powder-coated solid steel for durability.
-
Care Tip: Avoid prolonged exposure to moisture to maintain the paint and appearance.
Nuts, Bolts, and Running Belt Integrity
-
Before each intensive use session, and at least once a month in all cases, check that all nuts and bolts are properly tightened, as well as the overall condition of the running belt.
-
If you notice a loose locking nut, it must be replaced together with its corresponding bolt to ensure safety and stability.
-
If you observe even a minor defect or irregularity in the structure of the running belt, please contact us immediately and send photos so we can provide assistance.
Mini Mill Belt Maintenance
-
The slats are connected by a rubber belt.
-
Maintenance: Apply a silicone spray to the belt once a month to maintain flexibility and prevent wear.
Important: Never change parts or make treadmill adjustments without our instructions especially on the running belt
