Maintenance Tips

• Clean After Each Use: Wipe down the seat, leg pads, backrest, and frame with a non-abrasive disinfectant to remove sweat, dirt, and debris. Keeping it clean prevents grime build-up and extends the lifespan of the machine.
• Inspect Leg Pads and Cushions: Regularly check the leg pads and backrest cushions for signs of wear or damage. Replace any pads that show signs of excessive wear to ensure comfort and proper support during exercises.
• Lubricate Moving Parts: Apply silicone-based lubricant to the guide rods, pivot points, and any moving parts to maintain smooth movement and reduce friction.
• Check Weight Plates and Pins: Ensure that the weight plates slide smoothly along the guide rods without obstruction. Verify that the weight pins are properly secured before each use to avoid them slipping out during exercise.
• Test Adjustment Mechanisms: Check the seat and leg pad adjustment mechanisms for smooth operation and secure locking. If there’s any resistance or difficulty adjusting, address it immediately to avoid damage or discomfort during use.
• Inspect Fasteners and Bolts: Regularly check all screws, bolts, and fasteners for tightness. Tighten any loose parts to prevent instability and ensure a safe, secure workout experience.
• Monitor for Unusual Noises: Listen for any squeaking, grinding, or other unusual noises while using the machine. These could indicate the need for lubrication, parts replacement, or further inspection.
• Examine the Frame and Structure: Regularly inspect the frame for cracks or signs of stress. Any compromised structural components should be addressed immediately to maintain the machine's safety.
• Check for Wear on the Guide Rods: Examine the guide rods for any signs of wear or build-up that may impede smooth movement. Clean the rods regularly and lubricate them as necessary to ensure optimal function.
• Schedule Regular Servicing: Arrange for periodic professional maintenance to check all internal components, lubricate moving parts, and ensure everything is working properly. This helps prevent major issues from developing and ensures the machine’s longevity.
