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 several 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
IV. If squeaks or other noises persist, check that the unit is properly leveled. There are 2 leveling pads on the bot-
tom of the rear stabilizer, use a 14mm wrench (or adjustable wrench) to adjust the levelers.
