LifeFitness has stopped supporting the wax kits for their treadmills with the auto-waxer systems. Some machines used a square refill kit while other machines had a rectangular wax kit. The OEM item for the square refill kit was GK26-00002-0054. The OEM item for the rectangular wax kit was GK58-00002-0002. Due to the age of the machines with the auto-waxer systems, Life Fitness discontinued these wax kits. The wax kits are no longer sold.
Treadmills with auto-waxer systems include the models 7500, 9100, 9500, 9700, 93T, 95Te, 95Ti, 97Te, and 97Ti. If you have one of these machines that is out of wax and wish to keep the machine in service, you can bypass the waxer. This is the same process you would follow when replacing your belt and deck with a waxless setup.
You will cap off the connections at the wax pump for the wax kit and the hose that supplies the spray nozzle. See the example below.
The waxer pump will remain connected electronically. This means you will still report wax at reminders as you have done in the past. The caps will prevent any wax ooze or mess created by the pump. The cap will keep the wax pump from completely drying out and freezing up; which could cause another error.
If your machine requires lubrication, this will have to be applied manually like other machines without the wax system.
