Equipment Maintenance
WARNING: Routine inspection and maintenance is of critical importance to ensure maximum safety and performance. We use the highest quality materials available, but wear is inevitable. Be advised that dangerous conditions can arise even during a warranty period. A warranty does not negate the owner’s responsibility to thoroughly, carefully and daily inspect the machine. Consult your physician before starting your exercise program. For your own safety, do not begin any exercise program without proper instruction.
1. Check Rope While the machine is not in use carefully inspect the rope for damage and tears. Carefully inspect connection of rope ends and make sure that stitching (threads) are not torn or damaged. Do not use equipment until damaged rope has been replaced.
2. Upholstery Wipe down after every workout. Periodically take the time to use a mild soap or mild vinyl upholstery cleaner. Avoid using any abrasive cleaner not intended for use on vinyl. Keep sharp or pointed objects out of your pockets and clear of all upholstery.
3. Nuts/Bolts/Fasteners Periodically inspect all nuts and bolts. Tighten if needed. If bolts seem to loosen periodically, use Loctite 242 for a long-term cure. Go through a re-tightening sequence periodically to ensure that all hardware is properly tensioned.
4. Adjustments / Locking Pins / Tightening Knobs Check all pieces for signs of visible wear or damage. Check springs in Snap Links and Pop Pins for proper tension and alignment. If the spring sticks or has lost its rigidity, replace it immediately.
5. Anti-Skid Surfaces Replace if they appear worn or become slippery.
7. Warning Instruction Labels Inspect and familiarize yourself with all safety warnings and other user information on decals. Replace decals if damaged, illegible, or removed.
