all aspects of product
maintenance and repair. All
products should be used only by qualified and properly trained personnel, following proper

application and use should be periodically evaluated by qualified personnel. Only qualified and
properly trained technicians should
perform maintenance, repair and replacement

available to repair or maintain unsupported products. Older products may not be UL listed (if
the product does not have a UL label it is not a listed product), and may not comply with
applicable installation or other regulations or requirements if relocated to a new facility.
Many municipalities require
a
product to be UL listed before
an electrician
will
connect power
to them. Often the cost of updating an older product to comply with current safety regulations is
greater than the value of the product.

To remove the "Lubricate Machine" message on a Challenge Titan 200, you need to enter "Dealer Mode" and update the dealer name and phone number settings. Follow these steps:

1. Turn off the power.
2. While turning the power back on, press and hold both the left and right arrow keys.
3. Continue holding the arrow keys for a few seconds after the machine powers up.
4. Once in Dealer Mode, use the up and down arrow keys to select characters and the right arrow key to move to the next character or line.
5. Enter the desired dealer information.
6. When finished, turn off the power.

This process resets the lubrication alarm display.
