CARE AND MAINTENANCE
Your elliptical is made of the highest quality materials. It is so important that you take care
of your elliptical on a regular basis.
1. Your elliptical is for indoor use only and should not be used or stored in damp areas.
Wipe all perspiration from your elliptical after each use.
2. The elliptical should be dusted and cleaned on a regular basis to stop build-up of dust.
Use Windex or an alcohol-based cleaner on a clean cloth, on a regular basis. Do not use
any abrasive cleaners and/ or polish as this will damage the surface.
3. Regularly check tightness of nuts, bolts, and pins, etc.
4. If a squeak, thump, clicking or rough feeling develops the main cause is most likely one
of tworeasons:
i. The hardware was not sufficiently tightened during assembly. All bolts that were
installed during assembly need to be tightened as much as possible. It may be
necessary to use a larger wrench than the one provided if you cannot tighten the bolts
sufficiently. I cannot stress this point enough; 90% of calls to the service department
for noise issues can be traced to loose hardware or the rear rails being dirty.
ii. Dirt build-up on the rear rails and polyurethane wheels are also a source of noise.
Noise from build-up on the rails can cause a thumping sound that you would swear is
coming from inside the main body of the machine because noise travels, and is
amplified in the tubing of the frame. Clean the rails and wheels with a lint free cloth
and rubbing alcohol.
Stubborn build-up can be removed with your thumbnail or a non-metallic scraper, like
the back edge of a plastic knife. After cleaning, apply a small amount of lubricant on
the rails with your fingers or a lint free cloth. You only need a thin coat of lubrication,
wipe off any excess.
If squeaks or other noises persist, check that the unit is properly leveled before calling
the service department at 1-888-707-1880.
Transportation
The elliptical is equipped with two transport wheels which
are engaged when rear of the elliptical is lifted.
LUBRICATION
1. Pour 2c.c of the lubricant under the middle of the rail. You
must lubricate the rails every three months
2. If the user felt the exercise is not smooth or there were
some noise during exercising, please pour 2 c.c.of the
lubricant on the middle of Rails.
