Equipment Maintenance
WARNING:
Routine inspection and maintenance is of critical importance to ensure
maximum safety and performance. We use the highest quality materials available, but
wear is inevitable. Be advised that dangerous conditions can arise even during a
warranty period. A warranty does not negate the owner’s responsibility to thoroughly,
carefully and daily inspect the machine. Consult your physician before starting your
exercise program. For your own safety, do not begin any exercise program without
proper instruction.
1. Check Rope
While the machine is not in use carefully inspect the rope for damage and tears.
Carefully inspect connection of rope ends and make sure that stitching (threads) are
not torn or damaged. Do not use equipment until damaged rope has been replaced.
2. Upholstery
Wipe down after every workout.
Periodically take the time to use a mild soap or mild vinyl upholstery cleaner. Avoid
using any abrasive cleaner not intended for use on vinyl.
Keep sharp or pointed objects out of your pockets and clear of all upholstery.
3. Nuts/Bolts/Fasteners
Periodically inspect all nuts and bolts. Tighten if needed. If bolts seem to loosen
periodically, use Loctite 242 for a long-term cure.
Go through a re-tightening sequence periodically to ensure that all hardware is
properly tensioned.
4. Adjustments / Locking Pins / Tightening Knobs
Check all pieces for signs of visible wear or damage.
Check springs in Snap Links and Pop Pins for proper tension and alignment.
If the spring sticks or has lost its rigidity, replace it immediately.
5. Anti-Skid Surfaces
Replace if they appear worn or become slippery.
6. Lubrication
Periodic lubrication of seat slides and bearings is required. Use WD-40 or engine oil
with cloth to wipe all slide and bearing surfaces.
7. Warning Instruction Labels
Inspect and familiarize yourself with all safety warnings and other user information on
decals. Replace decals if damaged, illegible, or removed.
