GENERAL MAINTENANCE
1. Wipe down all areas in the sweat path with a damp cloth after each workout.
2. If a squeak, thump, clicking or rough feeling develops the main cause is most likely one of two
reasons:
I. 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. 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.
3. If squeaks or other noises persist, check that the unit is properly leveled. There are 4 leveling pads on
the bottom of the rear rails, use a 14mm wrench (or adjustable wrench) to adjust the levelers.
