This section covers the tasks you should perform each week to maintain the
equipment. Perform the following tasks as appropriate for the unit you are
maintaining:
 Condition and deep clean upholstery.
 Clean and lubricate guide rods.
 Inspect cables, connections, and tension.
 Inspect cable handle attachments.
 Inspect pulleys.

Condition and Deep Clean Upholstery
Condition and deep clean the upholstery weekly with a lanolin-based hand
cleaner or upholstery cleaner.
Important: To clean the upholstery, do not use cleaning products that have any of
these ingredients: solvents, alcohol, ammonia, or petroleum. Use a mild
detergent-based cleaner instead.
Discovery Selectorized Line Owner's Manual: Maintenance
Clean and Lubricate Guide Rods
Inspect the exposed areas of the guide rods for cleanliness. Using a dry cloth,
wipe any buildup of dirt or grease from the rods.
Note: On Discovery Selectorized strength equipment, the shroud must be
removed to access the guide rods for inspection, cleaning, and lubricating
(refer to Shroud Removal).
Lubricate the exposed areas of the guide rods by applying a light coat of
®
Teflon spray lubricant. Spray the lubricant on a cloth and then wipe the guide
rods with the cloth. Be careful with any lubricant spray; it can stain carpet and
clothing.
CAUTION: Do not attempt to lubricate the guide rods when the equipment
is in use. Attempting to lubricate between the weight plates without
completely disassembling the stack will result in serious injury.
Important: Do not use petroleum-based lubricants. These lubricants tend to cause a
rapid buildup of dirt and hair on the weight plates, which can cause the plates to
stick together.
