MAINTENANCE
Regular maintenance of your elliptical is necessary to extend the life of your machine and will
allow it to continue to function properly. Keep the elliptical, especially the console, out of direct
sunlight to prevent screen damage or premature wear.
Cleaning
Keep the machine clean and free of any debris by vacuuming around the moving parts and
wiping the machine. It is recommended that a soft cloth and mild detergent be used cleaned with
a soft cloth and mild detergent. Do not use abrasives or solvents on any of the plastic parts. Be
careful to not get excessive moisture on the console display panel as this might cause an
electrical hazard. Immediately wipe off any perspiration on the elliptical after each use.
Lubrication
Regularly inspect your machine for any loose connections and tighten them.
Creating a consistent lubrication routine on the moving parts of the elliptical can
stop it from squeaking.
1. Check the floor where the elliptical sits to verify the floor is level. An uneven floor could create
unnecessary stress on the moving parts of the elliptical, creating squeaks.
2. Spray an aerosol multi-purpose or silicon-based lubricant onto the bolts that connect the
handlebars to the lower arms. The lower arms support the footpads or pedals on the elliptical.
3. Spray the lubricant onto the bolts connecting the foot bars to the crank and the bolts
connecting the crank to the mainframe.
Storage
Store the elliptical trainer in a clean and dry environment away from children and pets.
