Lubrication
Proper cleaning lubrication of guide rods will insure that each machine operates at its highest
potential and that your clients continue to enjoy a smooth efficient motion while exercising. Often
lubrication is either neglected or in many cases facilities over lubricate without cleaning the old
dirty lubricant off prior to applying the new. This results in a build up of dirty contaminants that will
cause premature wear and poor operational function.
•
Use a general purpose lubricant that does not contain Teflon or solvent (such as 3-IN-ONE®
oil.) Apply the lubricant to a cotton cloth, and then run the cotton cloth up and down the
guide rods as needed to apply a thin coat.
•
Also apply oil to the incremental weight guide tracks.
•
In some environments that are extremely dry or dusty more frequent cleaning and lubrica-
tion may be required.
