Cleaning
Keeping your Impact Strength™ units clean is an important component of preventative maintenance and
the overall aesthetics of your product. While your clients will appreciate clean equipment free of sweat, dirt
and other contaminants proper care and cleaning will extend the life of your product and reduce premature
aging and wear.
•
Upholstery should be cleaned daily with a mild soap and water mix or an approved antibacterial
cleaner.
•
Hand grips should be cleaned daily with a mild soap and water mix or an approved antibacterial
cleaner.
•
Main frame should be cleaned weekly with mild soap and water mix dampened cloth or an
approved antibacterial cleaner to remove all dust and accumulated contaminants.
•
Guide rods should be cleaned monthly with a cotton cloth prior to lubrication. It is critical to remove
all old lubricants and accumulated contaminants prior to applying lubrication.
•
Internal tower and weight stack should be cleaned once every six months with a mild soap and
water dampened cloth to remove all dust and accumulated contaminants. Caution should be taken
to not leave excess moisture after cleaning.
•
Note – do not use cleaners that contain solvents, alcohol or abrasives.
Inspection
Visual inspection of your Impact Strength™ units will insure a safe environment for your clients and alert
you to any issues that may require maintenance prior to equipment failure. Proper, timely visual inspection
is a critical component to the long term care of your product.
•
Belts and cables should be inspected weekly for damage including cracked vinyl housing, fraying
metal strands, twisting or excessive rubbing on pulleys. Any incident of wear should elicit immediate
replacement of damaged belts or cable.
•
Belts may become loose over time and require adjustment to maintain proper function – refer to the
machine’s specific installation manual for belt and cable tension instructions.
•
Fasteners, hardware and attachments should be checked monthly for looseness. Tighten as
required using appropriate tools.
•
Handgrips should be checked for wear or damage monthly and replaced as needed.
•
Upholstery should be inspected for wear or damage monthly and replaced as needed.
•
Pulleys should be inspected every six months for integrity, cracking or rubbing leading to excessive
wear. Any incident of wear should elicit immediate replacement of damaged pulley.
•
Main frame and tower should be inspected every six months for signs of unusual wear, corrosion or
structural integrity issues.
Lubrication
Proper cleaning lubrication of guide rods will insure that each machine operates at its highest potential and
that your clients continue to enjoy a smooth efficient motion while exercising. Often lubrication is either
neglected or in many cases facilities over lubricate without cleaning the old dirty lubricant off prior to
applying the new. This results in a build up of dirty contaminants that will cause premature wear and poor
operational function.
•
Use a general purpose lubricant that does not contain Teflon or solvent (such as 3-IN-ONE
®
oil.)
Apply the lubricant to a cotton cloth, and then run the cotton cloth up and down the guide rods as
needed to apply a thin coat.
•
Also apply oil to the incremental weight guide tracks.
•
In some environments that are extremely dry or dusty more frequent cleaning and lubrication may
be required.
