3. Carefully turn each of the Poly-V pulleys counterclockwise, and check for
smoothness of operation during quarterly lubrication. Reinstall the left
side cover.
Lubrication
The following components need periodic lubrication: the drive chain assemblies,
the step chains, the heel link chains, the pedal return springs, pedal shafts,
sprockets, and the pedal bushings. Remove the covers to access the components.
1. Place a protective mat on the floor while you lubricate your machine.
A rubber floor mat is available from StairMaster
®
Health & Fitness
Products, Inc.
2. Each week lubricate the entire length of the chains, and around each
sprocket with an aerosol synthetic chain lubricant (e.g. PJ-1
®
).
3. Thoroughly clean all of the chains every 3 months. Use a mild
degreaser and a stiff brush to remove dirt and corrosion from the
chains. Remember to lubricate the chains after cleaning them.
4. To protect the pedal return springs from corrosion, wipe the entire
length of each pedal spring with a cloth dampened with 30W motor
oil. Replace the spring if it is rusty or otherwise damaged.
5. Remove the pedals every 3 months. Clean the pedal bushings
and the pedal shafts. Protect the pedal shafts from corrosion with a
thin coat of mineral oil before reassembling.
MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS
TO REDUCE THE POSSIBILITY OF SLIPPING, BE SURE THE PEDAL
AREA IS FREE OF GREASE OR OIL. WIPE ANY EXCESS OIL OFF
THE MACHINE SURFACES.
