• Clean weight stack guide rods with dry towel and lubricate
with TFL- 50 wet lube. Do not use silicone or any other
type of lubricant. Wipe guide rods clean and apply
lubricant from the top down, allowing slight excess to
run down guide rods and into the weight stack. If using
a spray can or bottle, be sure to shield the rest of the
unit from over spray as product can stain. Occasionally,
have an assistant lift the weight stack at different weight
values (exercise extreme caution when performing this
maneuver), and apply lubricant to the portions of the
guide rods that are usually hidden by the weight stack if
they seem dry. Weight stack guide rods should be clean
and have a light layer of lubricant on them for optimal
performance. Failing to wipe guide rods clean first will
lead to unwanted resistance and premature wear on
bushings.
• Clean linear bearing guide rods on Smith machines (E155)
with a dry towel and lubricate with multipurpose grease.
Do not use silicone or any other type of lubricant. Atlantis
recommends the spray can format of Super Lube
®
, an
excellent multipurpose Teflon-based lubricant.
• Lightly grease stainless steel seat shafts and backrests,
accessory bars, and pivoting handles with multipurpose
grease or Super Lube
®
. Never lubricate the piston shaft of
a hydraulic or gas spring shock.
• Inspect all labels. Replace any damaged or missing labels.
• Tighten all nuts and bolts.
