Cleaning
Wipe the carriage pad, headrest, footbar and shoulder rests with a
soft cloth and a mild, non-abrasive cleaner after each use. Keep the
carriage track and wheels clean from dust and dirt. Wipe the entire
track with a towel and cleaner regularly clean the footbar trunnion
track weekly. clean the frame with a mild, non-abrasive cleaner. Keep
the ropes and springs clear of dust. cotton loops can be machine-
washed. hang to dry.
Lubrication
Lubricate the footbar trunnion track as needed with dry silicone spray
lubricant, available at most hardware or automative stores. Be careful
of over-spray. Do not use a “wet” lubricant like WD 40. It is not neces-
sary to lubricate the carriage track; lubrication will attract dirt and will
make the track difficult to clean. If you hear noise coming from the
track and wheels, use only enough dry silicone to stop the noise. Wipe
off any excess.
If required, use the silicone lubricant on parts that rub together:
pulleys, footbar and standing platform hinges, etc. Apply a drop of
machine oil on the footbar locking pins as needed.
Maintenance
• In everyday commercial use, the springs should be safe to use
for one to two years. Replace any spring that is kinked, bent or
shows separations while at rest. The only acceptable separation
is a very small one where the spring begins to taper down to
the hook.
• Ropes should be replaced when they begin to look heavily
worn.
• Remove hair and debris from the axles of the wheels. Debris
can create pressure on the bearings, causing them to wear. If
you hear noise from the bearings, replace them. Otherwise, no
maintenance on the bearings is required
• Repair any tears in the upholstery with an upholstery repair kit
available at auto parts stores, or have the repair done locally. call
Balanced Body for other upholstery and re-upholstery options.
