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. 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. The majority of calls to the service department for noise issues can be
traced to loose hardware or the rear rails being dirty.
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 am-
plified 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 before calling the
service department.
General Maintenance
Your new Seated Stepper is engineered and manufactured to the strictest industry standards
and tolerances. All Seated Stepper trainers, no matter who the manufacturer, have a
multitude of moving linkages and parts. Be aware that even with the tightest mechanical
tolerances there still could be a slight amount of play between some parts. This inherent play
can result in slight noises during use such as clicks and small thumps. Please expect that the
Seated Stepper will not be completely silent.
