Inspect
• Overall machine – We highly recommend that you visually inspect the
machine daily and that you thoroughly inspect all the hardware to make sure
every nut, bolt and fastener is secure every 2 months.
• Springs, Safety Chain and Clips – We strongly recommend that you inspect
all springs, safety chain and clips weekly. Severe nicks, abrasions or metal
fatigue may develop as a result of frequent use and could lead to premature
spring breakage. Not replacing springs in a timely manner increases the risk
of failure. While the breakage or deformation of a spring and the resulting
potential for serious injury is a remote possibility, periodic inspection of your
springs is critical. The springs are zinc- and nickel-plated to prevent rust
or corrosion from perspiration, condensation and humidity. Variation in the
brightness of the finish is the result of different plating batches and does not
affect the superb performance of our springs.
• Tracking System – The sealed bearings in the Carriage Wheels are
permanently lubricated and require no further lubrication. You should
inspect the Wheel Axles every 2 months.
• Retractable Risers – Be sure to inspect both the steel plate and the
retractable riser knob for wear on the thread. Failure to secure this
part fully during exercise could result in injury and/or damage to your
equipment.
• Primary Leather Straps – Inspect as needed depending upon your
environment. Apply a coat of leather conditioner to your primary straps as
it will prevent them from drying out and cracking. Leather straps naturally
stretch a bit through use; sometimes the stretching will occur unevenly from
strap to strap. You may find that you adjust one strap for length and not the
other. Multiple holes allow you to adjust the length of your straps to suit your
preference. Generally, after a month or two the straps will stabilize.
