MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS
Lubrication
There are five components that require periodic lubrication: the weight stack
guide rods, the pedal arm chains, the drive chain, the pedal arm return springs,
and the lower spring stop assembly (see Figure 7). These lubrication proce-
dures, if performed as outlined, will minimize chain wear and maximize parts
life. You will need to remove the seat, seat tray and the left side cover to
lubricate these components.
1. Place a protective mat on the floor when you are oiling your machine.
A rubber floor mat is available from StairMaster

2. Lubricate the drive and pedal arm chains weekly using SAE 30W
motor oil. Rotate the 8-inch Poly-V pulley counterclockwise while you
drip oil onto the drive chain and pedal arm chain rollers, especially on
the section of the pedal arm chains which are in contact with the
drive hub sprockets. Let the oil soak in for a few minutes and then
remove any excess oil with a dry rag.
3. Remove the chains every three months to thoroughly clean and
lubricate them. Use a mild degreaser and a stiff brush to remove dirt
and corrosion from the chains.
4. Wipe the weight stack guide rods weekly (do not remove the weight
stack covers) with a rag dampened with window cleaner in order to
clean off the old lubricant and prevent buildup. To lubricate the guide
rods, spray silicon lubricant onto a clean rag and wipe the guide rods.
5. In order to keep the pedal arm return springs free of corrosion, wipe
the springs with an oil-dampened rag once each week.
