Maintenance Tips

• Clean After Each Use: Wipe down the seat, backrest, handles, and frame with a non-abrasive disinfectant to remove sweat, dust, and debris. Regular cleaning helps prevent build-up and maintain hygiene.
• Inspect the Handles and Grips: Check the handles and grips for any signs of wear, slippage, or damage. Replace or repair any faulty grips to ensure a secure hold during use.
• Lubricate Moving Parts: Apply silicone-based lubricant to the guide rods and pivot points to reduce friction and ensure smooth, quiet operation.
• Check Weight Plates and Pins: Ensure the weight plates are sliding smoothly along the guide rods and that weight pins are securely inserted before each session. Loose pins could cause damage or injury.
• Inspect Upholstery: Regularly check the seat and backrest pads for any tears, signs of wear, or damage. Clean them with a mild soap solution and replace if necessary to maintain comfort and durability.
• Test Adjustment Mechanisms: Ensure the seat and backrest adjustments function properly and lock securely. If any adjustment becomes difficult or loose, tighten or service the mechanism as needed.
• Tighten Fasteners and Bolts: Periodically check and tighten all bolts, screws, and fasteners to ensure the machine remains stable and secure during use.
• Examine Frame and Structure: Regularly inspect the frame for signs of wear or damage, particularly at stress points. Address any structural issues immediately to maintain safety.
