Lubrication
Proper cleaning lubrication of guide rods will insure that each machine operates at its highest potential and that
your clients continue to enjoy a smooth efficient motion while exercising. Often lubrication is either neglected or
in many cases facilities over lubricate without cleaning the old dirty lubricant off prior to applying the new. This
results in a build up of dirty contaminants that will cause premature wear and poor operational function.
• Use a general purpose lubricant that does not contain Teflon or solvent (such as 3-IN-ONE® oil.) Apply
the lubricant to a cotton cloth, and then run the cotton cloth up and down the guide rods as needed to
apply a thin coat.
• Also apply oil to the incremental weight guide tracks.
• In some environments that are extremely dry or dusty more frequent cleaning and lubrication may be
required.
