CLEANING THE EQUIPMENT

Daily Cleaning
Wipe all machines with a water dampened cloth and dry completely. This includes painted parts, chrome plated parts
(except guide rods), plastic parts, and upholstered pads. It is important not to leave parts damp. This will increase the
potential for corrosion to occur.
CAUTION: Certain anti-bacterial cleaners and other harsh cleaning agents can induce corrosion on the machine
!
components. These solutions can also dry out and cause cracking and splitting on the upholstery.
Heavy Duty Cleaning
● Guide Rods (if equipped)—Clean and lubricate with a Tefl on Spray. Be sure to coat the entire guide rod. Spraying
lubricant into the cap plate bushings is also recommended.
● Chromed Adjustment Tubes—Wipe away dust and dirt before applying a Tefl on spray lubricant. TRUE recommends
using Tri-Flow TM or a similar brand.
● Linear Bearings—Clean the linear shaft and lubricate (as required) with Tefl on based grease. Keeping linear bearings
clean and lubricated is critical to long life and good performance.
● Painted Frames—If you have scuff marks, grease or a heavy dirt buildup on frame components, start with a mild
soap solution or a diluted solution of a product such as Simple Green with a dilution of 32:1. If you cannot remove the
marks using those methods, use a car polish/cleaner. DO NOT use solvents such as lacquer thinner, mineral spirits or
acetone. For deeper scuff marks, use an automobile fi nish rubbing compound.
● Upholstery—For heavy duty cleaning, use a mild soap solution. This method should be suffi cient in the majority of
instances. In severe stain cases, you can use a solution of 5-10% household bleach diluted with water. Be sure to test
an inconspicuous area fi rst. DO NOT use chemical cleaners on the vinyl upholstery. You can also use a lanolin based
hand cleaner to clean your upholstery. Wipe off after cleaning with a damp cloth and thoroughly dry.
● Plastic Parts—Use a mild soap solution to clean dirt and grease marks.
● Labels—Use a mild soap solution to clean dirt and grease marks.
● Shrouds—Use a mild soap solution to clean dirt and grease marks.
CAUTION: Do not use any acidic cleaners. Doing so will weaken the paint or powder coatings and may void the TRUE
!
Warranty. Never pour or spray liquids on any part of the equipment. Allow the equipment to dry completely before using.
CAUTION: If you determine that the equipment needs service, make sure that the equipment cannot be used
!
inadvertently and ensure other users know that the machine needs service.
