cotton cloth, then run the cotton cloth up and down the guide rods as needed.

Wipe down upholstery with a mild soap and water or comparable all purpose cleaner.
• Visually inspect cables for wear at and around connections and along entire length of
cable. Always replace at first sign of wear.
ONCE A WEEK
•
Visually inspect all hardware for loosening, tampering or wear.
• Check jam nut on weight stack for tightness.
• Inspect all accessory and or carabiner clips or connecting links for wear.
• Check condition of hand grips.
• Check cables for stretch and adjust as necessary by loosening the large nut on top
of the weight stack and screw in the threaded plug until cable is tight and the weight
stack pin goes in all holes easily. Tighten the large nut to complete the adjustment.
ONCE A MONTH
•
Clean Guide Rods with break-free on a cloth and wipe off old residue. Clean tops of
bearings at stack and inspect for heavy buildup on rods below head plate (lift half of
stack and do a visual inspection, then clean as necessary).
• Inspect hardware on all machines and tighten any bolts or nuts that may have
loosened over the life of the product.
NOTES
•
Use polishing compound (such as car wax) to clean and remove shoe scuffs from
powdercoated surfaces as necessary.
Removal of Paint, Marking Pen, Labels
Butyl cellosolve works well for removal of paints, marking pen inks, lipstick, etc.
Labels, stickers, etc. may be removed using kerosene. When the solvent will not
penetrate sticker material apply heat (hair dryer) to soften the adhesive and
promote removal. GASOLINE SHOULD NOT BE USED.
