MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS
Cleaning
1. DO NOT USE GLASS CLEANERS OR ANY OTHER
HOUSEHOLD CLEANERS ON THE CONSOLE. Clean
the console daily with a water-dampened cloth and
wipe dry after cleaning.
2. Clean the exterior of the machine daily using
soap and water or a diluted, non-mineral based
household cleaner such as Fantastic .
®
Inspection
1. Frame: Inspect the frame for any rust, bubbling, or
paint chips during the weekly cleaning. The salt in
perspiration can damage the unpainted surfaces.
Repair the damaged area with a touch-up paint kit
purchased from Nautilus (call Customer Service
®
for order information).
Checking the Battery Charge
1. Using your multimeter, touch the red lead to the
positive terminal of the battery and the black lead
to the negative terminal.
2. If the voltage level is less than 6.1 VDC, charge the
battery.
Recharging the Battery Back-Up
The Commercial Series EV9.16 and E9.16 elliptical are
both self-powered (cordless) with a rechargeable
battery back-up. Typically, the elliptical can be
operated without plugging in the battery charger. If,
however, the console flickers during operation or
the console display does not light up while using the
machine, then use the battery charger to recharge the
battery back-up.
The battery charger is supplied with the unit and
plugs into a standard 115 volt, 15 amp outlet. (All
major voltage plugs are available.) The plug-in for the
battery charger is located in the rear of the machine
at the base.
Plug the wall pack battery charger into the connector
and charge the battery for approximately 24 hours and
then recheck it. It is okay to use the machine while the
battery charger is connected.
The console will power on as user starts to pedal
machine, and will stay lit for up to 60 seconds in pause
mode. The console will power off after 60 seconds of
stopping exercise.
Battery Disposal
When ordering new batteries, you will need to
properly dispose of (recycle) your old lead-acid
batteries. Most federal and state regulations require
lead-acid batteries to be recycled. Do not throw away
old batteries. Lead is a toxic heavy metal, hazardous
to living organisms. Disposal instructions and a list
of recycling centers are tabulated in the Appendix. If
you have questions, contact the Customer Service
Department at (800) 331-3578.
