Weekly Inspection
1. Inspect the painted surfaces of the exposed frame for any rust,
bubbling, or chips during the weekly cleaning. The salt in perspiration
will damage unpainted surfaces. Repair the damaged area with a
touch-up paint kit provided by StairMaster
Inc. (part number 22181).
2. Inspect the pedal footstraps at both the inside and outside
attachment sites. Replace the footstraps if they are torn or ripped.
3. 3300 CE only: Inspect the seat post and the seat adjustment pin. The
seat post should slide up and down freely in the plastic collar with the
adjustment pin pulled out. Clean the seat post of any accumulated
grime with a clean rag. The seat adjustment pin should completely
engage the holes in the seat post. If the seat adjustment pin spring
action is sticky, apply a few drops of 30W motor oil, or the equivalent
lubricant, to the pin shaft.

must use the plastic nozzle extension if you lubricate the chain
through this hole. Insert the nozzle extension into the hole and spray
the chain while turning the pedal crank counterclockwise. Three
revolutions of the crank will ensure lubrication of the entire chain—
make sure that you do not over-lubricate the chain.
