General Maintenance
Frequency of maintenance is determined by several factors: temperature, humidity, use, ventilation and filtration, shielding and
friction. External maintenance may vary from daily to monthly, internal maintenance from six months in a high-use environment to
a year when used in a lower use setting.
Do not place equipment in direct sunlight as ultra violet rays can damage shields and upholstery.
1. SPOT CHECK LOOSE NUTS AND BOLTS
• Carefully check rotation points.
• Tighten loose parts immediately. Also check for worn parts, seat belts and upholstery pads.
2. SPOT CHECK CABLES AND PULLEYS
• The system is set up properly when the cables are taut and the pins engage easily into the weight stacks. If cables or
pulleys appear to have any damage, including gouges, bulging, discoloration or any wires are exposed, DO NOT USE
MACHINE.
3. UPHOLSTERY PAD TIGHTENING
• Most bolts on upholstery pads can be tightened with a 9/16” combination wrench.
Lubrication
MOVING PARTS
• To clean guide rods, wipe down with a clean cloth and an ammonia-based cleaner. Wipe completely dry. Spray a
generous amount of silicone lubricant on the rods.
• Apply silicone spray onto the guide rods whenever there is any evidence of sticking between the guide rods and the
weight plate bushings.
