• Visually inspect cables for wear at and around connections and along the entire length of the cable. Always replace
at first sign of wear.
Once a Week
• Visually inspect all hardware for loosening, tampering or wear.
• Check jam nut at top of weight stack for tightness.
• Check condition of hand grips.
• Check cables for stretch and adjust as necessary by loosening the large Jam Nut on top of the weight stack and by
screwing in the Threaded Plug until cable is tight and the weight stack pin goes in all holes easily. Securely tighten
the large Jam Nut when finished.
• Inspect shrouds for damage and clean as necessary.
Once a Month
• Clean guide rods with Break-Free® brand lubricant (part number SK50-P0005-0000). Clean tops of bearings at
stack and inspect for heavy buildup on rods below the head plate. Lift half of stack and do a visual inspection, then
clean as necessary.
• Inspect hardware on all machines and tighten any bolts or nuts that may have loosened over the life of the product.
Notes
• Use polishing compound (such as car wax) and remove shoe scuffs from powder coated surfaces as necessary.
Cleaning the Shrouds
• Adherence to regular and proper cleaning procedures is recommended to preserve the appearance.
NOTE: Spray the approved cleaner on a towel, and then wipe down the shrouds to avoid saturation of shroud
inlays.
Minimize Scratches
• Wash the shrouds with an approved or compatible cleaner. Do not scrub brushes on the shrouds. Fresh paint
splashes, grease and smeared glazing compounds can be removed easily before drying by rubbing lightly with
isopropyl alcohol. Afterward, a warm final wash should be made.
Approved and Compatible Cleaners
Two preferred cleaners have been approved by reliability experts: PureGreen 24 and Gym Wipes. Both cleaners will
safely and effectively remove dirt, grime and sweat from equipment. PureGreen 24 and the Antibacterial Force
formula of Gym Wipes are both disinfectants that are effective against MRSA and H1N1.
PureGreen 24 is available in a spray which is convenient to use. Apply the spray to a microfiber cloth and wipe down
the equipment. Use PureGreen 24 on the equipment for at least 2 minutes for general disinfection purposes and at
least 10 minutes for fungus and viral control.
Gym Wipes are large, durable pre-moistened wipes to use on the equipment before and after workouts. Use Gym
Wipes on the equipment for at least 2 minutes for general disinfection purposes.
Contact Customer Support Services to order these cleaners (1-800-351-3737 or email:
customersupport@lifefitness.com).
Mild soap and water or a mild non-abrasive household cleaner can also be used to clean the display and all exterior
surfaces. Use a soft microfiber cloth only. Apply the cleaner to the microfiber cloth before cleaning. DO NOT use
ammonia or acid based cleaners. DO NOT use abrasive cleaners. DO NOT use paper towels. DO NOT apply cleaners
directly to the equipment surfaces.
Removal of Paint, Marking Pens, or Labels
• Butyl cellosolve works well for removal of paints, marking pen inks, lipstick, etc.
• Labels, stickers, etc. may be removed using kerosene. When the solvent will not penetrate sticker material, apply
heat (hair dryer) to soften the adhesive and promote removal. GASOLINE SHOULD NOT BE USED.
Important Hazards
• DO NOT use abrasive or highly alkaline cleaners on the shrouds.
• NEVER scrape shrouds with squeegees, razor blades or other sharp instruments.
• DO NOT clean shrouds in hot sun or at elevated temperatures.
• NEVER use benzene, gasoline, acetone or carbon tetrachloride on the shrouds.
