MAINTENANCE AND CARE
Your Total Gym 26000 will offer you years of easy operation if you follow these simple tips for maintenance and care.
With periodic cleaning, moving parts and rolling surfaces will maintain their smooth function.
Use chrome or car polish on all chrome parts to keep your Total Gym 26000 looking its best and to prevent dust build-up.
Clean rail surfaces on a regular basis with a non oil-based window cleaner.
CAUTION
: DO NOT use any lubricants or silicone based products
on the rails or rollers. This will cause the rollers to slide rather than roll, and will damage the rollers.
You may use lubricant on folding hinges when needed. When lubricating these parts, remove any residue of lubricant from
the cables, rails or roller surfaces.
Clean the glideboard material with a non oil-based window cleaner. DO NOT use Armor All
®
or like substances.
These will make the glideboard slippery. Wipe down your Total Gym 26000 with a clean cloth.
Regularly check the following parts for signs of fraying, cracking or wear:
• cables and nylon coating
• pulleys
• rollers
• glideboard
• frame
• handles
•foam rubber parts
If parts need replacement, call our Customer Service Department at

HOW TO READ THE RESISTANCE CHART FOR TOTAL GYM 26000
(SEE NEXT PAGE)
Total Gym 26000 uses a variable-angle incline plane to create exercise resistance by modifying your body weight–a steeper angle generates
more resistance. The Resistance Chart for Total Gym 26000 is calculated to indicate the resistance load at each level relative to a percentage
of body weight. Down the left side of the chart, note the Total Gym 26000 levels 1-10. Each level’s degree of slope is noted. Across the top, the
numbers represent body weight in ten-pound increments. Below each weight reference in pounds are two corresponding columns. Each left
column represents percentage of body weight. Each right column shows the actual amount of load in pounds. An additional Resistance Chart
has also been supplied with weight references in kilograms.
EXAMPLE in lbs:
A 150 lb person using level 5 would be lifting 51 pounds or 34% of total body weight. When figuring exercises that incorporate
the bilateral pulley cables, use 50% of the charted numbers.
EXAMPLE in kgs:
A 70 kg person using level 5 would be lifting 24 kilograms or 34% of total body weight. When figuring exercises that
incorporate the bilateral pulley cables, use 50% of the charted numbers.
