CARE OF THE EXTERIOR
SWIMCROSS
EXERCISE SYSTEM SHELL
Your
ENDLESS POOLS SWIMCROS
S Exercise System has an acrylic
shell. Stains and dirt generally will not adhere to your
SWIMCROSS
Exercise System’s surface. A soft rag or a nylon scrubber should
easily remove most dirt. Most household chemicals are harmful to
your
SWIMCROSS
Exercise System’s shell (see below for detailed
information on cleaning agents). Always rinse off any
SWIMCROSS
Exercise System shell cleaning agent with fresh water.
IMPORTANT:
1. The following products are the ONLY approved cleaning agents for
your
ENDLESS POOLS SWIMCROS
S Exercise System shell: plain
water, Spa Shine, Brillianize
®
or Soft Scrub
®
. The use of alcohol
or any other household cleaner other than those listed to clean the
SWIMCROSS
Exercise System shell surface is NOT recommended.
DO NOT use any cleaning products containing abrasives or solvents
since they may damage the shell surface, specifically: Simple
Green
®
, Windex
®
or Spa Mitt. NEVER USE HARSH CHEMICALS!
Damage to the shell by use of harsh chemicals is not covered under
the warranty. Always rinse off any
SWIMCROSS
Exercise System
shell cleaning agent with fresh water.
2. Iron and copper in the water can stain the
SWIMCROSS
Exercise
System shell if allowed to go unchecked. Ask your
ENDLESS
POOLS
dealer about a Stain and Scale Inhibitor to use if your
SWIMCROSS
Exercise System has a high concentration of
dissolved minerals. (Watkins recommends Stain & Scale Defense.)
3. Keep all cleaners out of the reach of children and use care when
applying.
SWIMCROSS
EXERCISE SYSTEM CABINET
All
SWIMCROSS
Exercise Systems use the exclusive all-climate cabinet
designed for years of performance. The unique design is made from a
rigid polymer for durability and adds a film finish that provides a rich
appearance.
Cleaning consists of simply spraying the cabinet with a mild soap and
water solution to remove any stains and residue.
Do not rub the cabinet with an abrasive material or use abrasive
cleaners as this may damage its surface.
VINYL COVER (OPTIONAL)
The vinyl cover is an attractive, durable foam insulation product. Monthly
cleaning and conditioning are recommended to maintain its beauty.
To clean and condition the vinyl cover without a lifter:
1. Remove the covers from the
SWIMCROSS
Exercise System and
gently lean against a wall or fence.
2. With a garden hose, spray the covers to loosen and rinse away dirt
or debris.
3. Using a large sponge and/or a soft bristle brush, and using a very
mild soap solution (one teaspoon dishwashing liquid with two
gallons of water), or baking soda (sodium bicarbonate), scrub the
vinyl top in a circular motion. Do not let the vinyl dry with a soap film
on it before it can be rinsed clean.
4. Scrub the cover’s perimeter and side flaps. Rinse clean with water.
5. Rinse off the underside of the cover with water only (use no soap),
and wipe it clean with a dry rag.
• IMPORTANT: To remove tree sap, use cigarette lighter fluid (not
charcoal lighter fluid). Use sparingly, and rinse with a saddle soap
solution immediately afterwards, then wipe dry.
