Preventive maintenance (PM) is a schedule of planned maintenance actions aimed at the prevention
of failures. PM is the best way to preserve and enhance equipment reliability by keeping key com-
ponents clean and free of debris. PM activities may include cleaning, vacuuming, visual inspections
of key components, lubrication, etc. The better your PM program is, the more dramatically you can
increase the life of your product and significantly reduce equipment failures.
To keep it in top condition, perform regular daily, weekly, and monthly preventative maintenance
routines outlined below. It is the sole responsibility of the owner of this equipment to ensure that
regular maintenance is performed. Worn or damaged parts must be replaced immediately, or the
equipment removed from service until the repair is made.
Maintenance Schedule
Some types of PM need to be performed more often than others. The frequency of PM depends a
great deal on the use and environment of the unit. Core has a baseline of procedures that should
be performed at pre-determined intervals as shown below, but it is imperative to understand that
this is a baseline and PM schedules should be adapted to the environment and usage that the unit
receives.

1 - Wipe console with a soft, non-abrasive cloth to remove all sweat after each use. Use a soft, non-abrasive cloth and mild spray cleanser to clean the console. Never use
abrasive cleaning liquids, cleaning liquids with an oil base, ammonia, or alcohol.
Preventive Maintenance Cautions
• While maintaining equipment you will want to avoid spraying any liquids directly onto any surface of the unit.
Always spray cleaning solutions onto a clean towel first then wipe the unit.
• Do not use glass cleaners or any other household cleaners on the console. The console should be cleaned with
a damp cloth and dried on a daily basis. Cleaning solutions can be made of a 5:1 dilution ratio, where 5 parts
water are mixed with 1 part of Simple Green®, Fantastik®, or 409®. Do not spray water, or cleaner directly onto
console surfaces.
