Preventative Maintenance Instructions Preventative maintenance (PM) is a schedule of planned maintenance actions aimed at the preven- tion of failures. PM is the best way to preserve and enhance equipment reliability by keeping key components clean and free of debris. PM activities may include cleaning, vacuuming, visual inspec- tions of key components, lubrication, etc.

Get in and out of the equipment carefully. Never operate the machine without shields in place. Use only Nautilus selector pins in weight stack. Never drop or insert any other object into machine opening. Use this machine only as intended or described in its owner’s manual.
Maintenance Schedule Some types of PM need to be performed more often than others. The frequency of PM depends a great deal on the use and environment of the unit. Core has a baseline of procedures that should be performed at pre-determined intervals as shown below, but it is imperative to understand that this is a baseline and PM schedules should be adapted to the environment and usage that the unit receives.
