CLEANING THE EQUIPMENT
Most of the working mechanisms are protected inside the casing. However, for
efficient operation, the C846 relies on low friction. To keep the friction low, the
C846 pedals and internal mechanisms must be as clean as possible.
v
To clean all exposed surfaces on the C846, it is recommended that you use
a diluted solution of mild soap. Clean the C846 everyday with a soft cloth,
dampened (not dripping wet) in the solution.
CAUTION: Do not use any acidic cleaners. Doing so will weaken the
unit’s coating and void the Precor Limited Warranty. Never pour water
or spray liquids on any part of the C846. Allow the C846 to dry completely
before using.
v
Periodically, clean the grooves on the foot pedals using a soft nylon scrub
brush. Vacuum the floor underneath the unit to prevent the accumulation of
dust and dirt.
v
