OTHER SCHEDULED PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE:
TRUE recommends that scheduled maintenance be performed by a qualified service technician. Please contact your
dealer or visit www.truefitness.com to contact a local TRUE authorized service technician.
Monthly:
Clean guide rods and lubricate with a Teflon lubricant.
Every 6 months:
Lubricate pivot bearings with lithium grease.
CLEANING THE EQUIPMENT:
Daily Cleaning:
Wipe all machines with a water dampened cloth and dry completely. This includes painted parts, chrome plated parts
(except guide rods), plastic parts, and upholstered pads. It is important not to leave parts damp. This will increase the
potential for corrosion to occur.
CAUTION:
Certain anti-bacterial cleaners and other harsh cleaning agents can induce corrosion on the machine components. These
solutions can also dry out and cause cracking and splitting of the upholstery.
Heavy Duty Cleaning:
Guide Rods
: Clean and lubricate with a Teflon Spray. Be sure to coat the entire guide rod. Spraying lubricant into the cap
plate bushings is also recommended.
Chromed Adjustment Tubes:
Wipe away dust and dirt before applying a Teflon spray lubricant. TRUE Fitness
recommends using TriFlow or a similar brand.
Painted Frames:
If you have scuff marks, grease or a heavy dirt buildup on frame components, start with a mild soap
solution or a diluted solution of a product such as Simple Green. If you cannot remove the marks using those methods,
use a car polish/cleaner. DO NOT use solvents such as lacquer thinner, mineral spirits or acetone. For deeper scuff marks,
use an automobile finish rubbing compound.
Upholstery:
For heavy duty cleaning, use a mild soap solution. This method should be sufficient in the majority of
instances. In severe stain cases, you can use a solution of 5-10% household bleach diluted with water. Be sure to test an
inconspicuous area first. DO NOT use chemical cleaners on the vinyl upholstery. You can also use a lanolin based hand
cleaner to clean your upholstery. Wipe off after cleaning with a damp cloth and thoroughly dry.
Plastic Parts:
Use a mild soap solution to clean dirt and grease marks.
Labels:
Use a mild soap solution to clean dirt and grease marks.
Shrouds:
Use a mild soap solution to clean dirt and grease marks.
CAUTION
:
Do not use any acidic cleaners. Doing so will weaken the paint or powder coatings and may void the TRUE Fitness
Warranty. Never pour or spray liquids on any part of the equipment. Allow the equipment to dry completely before using.
