GENERAL
MAINTENANCE
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. I cannot
stress this point enough; 90% of calls to the service department for noise issues can be
traced to loose hardware.
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 amplified, 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 nonmetallic 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.
III. The crank arm nut needs to be retightened.
3. If squeaks or other noises persist, check that the unit is properly leveled. There are 2 leveling
pads on the bottom of the rear stabilizer, use a 14 mm wrench (or adjustable wrench) to adjust
the levelers.
