Maintenance Tips

• Inspect the Handles and Grips: Check the handles for signs of wear, cracks, or slippage. Ensure the grips are secure and replace them if necessary to prevent accidents.
• Lubricate Moving Parts: Apply a silicone-based lubricant to the guide rods, pulleys, and any moving components to ensure smooth, quiet movement and reduce friction over time.
• Check the Weight Plates and Pins: Ensure that the weight plates slide smoothly along the guide rods. Check weight pins for proper insertion and make sure they are securely in place before use to avoid mishaps.
• Examine the Seat and Backrest: Regularly check the seat and backrest upholstery for any damage or wear. Clean the surfaces with a mild soap solution and replace the padding if it becomes torn or excessively worn.
• Inspect Fasteners and Bolts: Periodically check all bolts, screws, and fasteners to ensure they are secure. Tighten any loose components to prevent wobbling or instability during use.
• Monitor for Unusual Noises: Listen for any squeaks, grinding, or other unusual sounds during use, which could indicate friction or mechanical issues. Lubricate affected parts and address any unusual sounds promptly.
• Test the Cable and Pulley System: Regularly inspect the cables for any fraying or signs of wear. Ensure that the pulleys are operating smoothly and that the cables are properly aligned. If necessary, replace worn cables to avoid breakage during use.
• Check Machine Stability: Ensure that the machine is stable during use and does not wobble or shift. Tighten any loose bolts or screws to maintain overall stability.
• Schedule Professional Servicing: Arrange for periodic maintenance by a professional technician to inspect internal components, lubricate moving parts, and ensure all systems are functioning correctly. This helps prevent major breakdowns and ensures safe use of the machine.
