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.
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.
