PREVENTIVE

MAINTENANCE TIPS

Life Fitness products are backed by the engineering excellence and 
reliability of Life Fitness and are one of the most rugged and trouble-
free pieces of exercise equipment on the market today. Commercial Life 
Fitness equipment are among the most popular of aerobic trainers in 
health clubs, colleges and military facilities worldwide. 

Warning: Safety of the equipment can be maintained only if the 
equipment is examined regularly for damage or wear. Keep the 
equipment out of use until defective parts are repaired or replaced. Pay 
special attention to parts that are subject to wear, as outlined below. 

The following preventive maintenance tips will keep the Life Fitness 
product operating at peak performance: 

• Locate the product in a cool, dry place

• Apply the lubricant to a cotton cloth, then wipe on the upper area of 
the lower fore/aft sliders as needed. Note: only a few drops of lubricant 
are required per usage.

• Clean the display console and all exterior surfaces with an approved or 
compatible cleaner 

(see Life Fitness approved cleaners)

 and a microfi bre 

cloth

• Long fi ngernails may damage or scratch the surface of the console; use 
the pad of the fi nger to press the selection buttons on the console

• Clean the top surface of the pedals regularly

• Keep the pedal straps fastened securely when using the bikes
