MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE 

Nautilus strongly recommends performing regular preventive maintenance on your 

NAUTILUS INSTINCT ROTARY TORSO

Without  regularly  scheduled  maintenance,  normal  wear  and  tear  may  cause  cumulative  effects,  such  as  misalignment  or 
premature  wear,  resulting  in  downtime.  For  this  reason,  we  highly  recommend  following  the  maintenance  schedules. 
Additionally,  unusual  symptoms,  such  as  excessive  noise  during  use,  stiffness  or  free  play  in  moving  parts,  etc.,  should  be 
investigated  and  necessary  corrective  actions  (adjustment  or  parts  replacement)  should  be  performed.  If  any  components  are 
found to be worn or damaged, the unit should be removed from service until repairs can be made. Only components supplied or 
approved by Nautilus shall be used to maintain and/or repair the unit.

CAUTION:

  DO NOT use lacquer thinner, acetone, or other solvents to clean powder-coated finishes on the framework 

or other structural components. Solvents will dull the finish, and contain components that may remove the  epoxy-
based powder from the frame. 

Framework and other structural components should be wiped down on a daily basis using a moistened with water. This will increase 
the longevity of protective powder-coat finishes. The framework should be inspected while cleaning for evidence of fatigue cracks, 
scratches or chips in the finish, loose hardware, worn or damaged weight belt, and other areas that may require attention. 

Apply easy-application car wax to all powder-coated surfaces quarterly. Regular waxing will aid in preventing premature rusting 
due to corrosives found in perspiration, and will allow loose particles to be removed more easily when performing the daily wipe-
down. 

Procedures to repair scratches and chips depend on the severity of the damage:
