Chapter 5: Maintaining the Peak PilateSystem

You have purchased a high quality piece of equipment that is constructed of the finest components and materials. Proper
maintenance requires only a small, but very important investment of your time in a regular routine maintenance program.
The following assortment of basic tools is required to service our equipment:
• Allen Wrench sizes 2 mm, 2.5 mm, 3 mm, 4 mm, 5 mm, and 6 mm
• Open End Wrench sizes 7 mm, 10 mm, 12 mm, 13 mm, and 15 mm
• Standard size Philips Head screwdriver
If you are using the equipment in a studio or club environment, we strongly suggest the following
maintenance program.
Overall Machine
Springs
Safety Chain and Clips
Tracking System (Carriage rollers and inside of rails)
Frame
Upholstery
Tracking System
Springs
Ropes
Foot Loops

Safety Clips

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. Even with
extensive pre-testing and rigorous quality inspection, the possibility of failure exists. In addition, severe nicks or abrasions
may develop as a result of misuse and could lead to premature spring breakage. Not replacing springs in a timely manner will
also lead to 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-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. Remove any debris that might be entwined between the wheel and steel carriage
frame, and tighten the axles if any wheel "play" is evident. Wheel "play" is unlikely but worth a periodic check.
