Cybex Arc Trainer Owner's & Service Manual

Lubrication

The Arc Trainer is designed with no-maintenance parts. Although there are
grease fittings on the pillow blocks, re-lubrication of the bearings is not
required.
Elevation Motor Lubrication — In time the elevation motor pivot points may
develop a squeak. If a squeak is present, a qualified service technician should
remove the elevation motor by following the Elevation Motor procedure in the
Service chapter. Lubricate the upper and lower bolts and the spacers with a
small amount of lithium grease. NOTE: Lithium grease is available at most auto
parts stores.
Locating a Squeak — In the unlikely event that a squeak may develop, you
should first lubricate the elevation motor pivot points as described above. If the
squeak continues, check that the primary and secondary belts have not
become misaligned. If the machine has been damaged, a squeak may come
from the moving parts, such as the foot plate arms or linkage rods. In this case,
the damaged parts should be replaced by following the appropriate procedure
in the Service chapter.

Environment of the Arc Trainer

Static Electricity — Depending upon where you live, you may experience dry
air, causing a common experience of static electricity. This may be especially
true in the winter time. You may notice a static build-up just by walking across
a carpet and then touching a metal object. The same can hold true while
working out on your unit. You may experience a shock due to the build-up of
static electricity on your body and the discharge path of the unit. If you
experience this type of situation, you may want to increase the humidity to a
comfortable level through the use of a humidifier.
Humidity — Do not install the unit in an area of high humidity, such as in the
vicinity of a steam room, sauna, indoor pool, or outdoors. Exposure to
extensive water vapor, chlorine, and/or bromine could adversely affect the
electronics as well as other parts of the machine.
