General Maintenance - SOLE E20 Owner's Manual

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 or the rear rails being dirty.
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 non-metallic
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.
3. If squeaks or other noises persist, check that the unit is properly leveled before calling the
service department.
