PREVENTIVE

 

MAINTENANCE TIPS

Life Fitness products are backed by the engineering excellence and 
reliability of Life Fitness and are one of the most rugged and trouble-
free pieces of exercise equipment on the market today. Commercial Life 
Fitness equipment are among the most popular of aerobic trainers in 
health clubs, colleges and military facilities worldwide. 

Warning: Safety of the equipment can be maintained only if the 
equipment is examined regularly for damage or wear. Keep the 
equipment out of use until defective parts are repaired or replaced. Pay 
special attention to parts that are subject to wear, as outlined below. 

The following preventive maintenance tips will keep the Life Fitness 
product operating at peak performance: 

• Locate the product in a cool, dry place

• Apply the lubricant to a cotton cloth, then wipe on the upper area of 
the lower fore/aft sliders as needed. Note: only a few drops of lubricant 
are required per usage.

• Clean the display console and all exterior surfaces with an approved or 
compatible cleaner (see Life Fitness approved cleaners) and a microfibre 
cloth

• Long fingernails may damage or scratch the surface of the console; use 
the pad of the finger to press the selection buttons on the console

• Clean the top surface of the pedals regularly

• Keep the pedal straps fastened securely when using the bikes

LIFE FITNESS APPROVED CLEANERS 

Two preferred cleaners have been approved by Life Fitness reliability 
experts: PureGreen 24 and Gym Wipes. Both cleaners will safely and 
effectively remove dirt, grime and sweat from equipment. PureGreen 24 
and the antibacterial force formula of Gym Wipes are both disinfectants 
that are effective against MRSA and H1N1. PureGreen 24 is available 
in a spray which is convenient for gym staff to use. Apply the spray to 
a microfibre cloth and wipe down the equipment. Use PureGreen 24 on 
the equipment for at least two minutes for general disinfection purposes 
and at least 10 minutes for fungus and viral control. Gym Wipes are large, 
durable pre-moistened wipes to use on the equipment before and after 
workouts. Use Gym Wipes on the equipment for at least two minutes for 
general disinfection purposes. 

Contact customer support services to order these cleaners (1 800 351 
3737 or email: [email protected]). 

LIFE FITNESS COMPATIBLE 

CLEANERS 

Mild soap and water or a mild non-abrasive household cleaner can 
also be used to clean the display and all exterior surfaces. Use a soft 
microfibre cloth only. Apply the cleaner to the microfibre cloth before 
cleaning. DO NOT use ammonia or acid-based cleaners. DO NOT use 
abrasive cleaners. DO NOT use paper towels. DO NOT apply cleaners 
directly to the equipment surfaces.
