III. Maintenance
Your Shuttle Recovery is a high quality rehabilitation and exercise machine and it will function
reliably and efficiently for many years. However, some basic maintenance is necessary to keep
it in peak operating condition. Should your Shuttle exhibit any performance irregularities, use the
following maintenance recommendations to return your machine to peak operation.
Inspect Elasticords
Proper handling and regular maintenance of Elasticords is necessary to prolong the life of your
cords.
Lubrication of your Elasticords (using only Shuttle Systems Silicone Gel) is recommended every
2-3 months. Without lubrication, your cords will become brittle and weak and can result in
decreased carriage resistance. With regular Elasticord lubrication, your cords can provide
proper resistance for 3-5 years.
Lubricating Elasticords:
1. Have an assistant lay on the Carriage and press with one band attached at a time.
2. With a glove, apply a pea-sized amount of Shuttle Systems Silicone Gel to each
Elasticord.
Weak Elasticords can also be caused by improper cord storage. Be sure that Elasticords are
disengaged after each use. To properly disengage cords, remove cord from slot and let cord
gently retract into the machine.
If your Elasticords feel like they are no longer providing enough resistance, replace them.
