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.

Clean and lubricate guide rods using a cotton cloth and break-free lubricant. Apply the lubricant to the cloth, then wipe up
and down the guide rods as needed.
Inspect weight belt for excessive wear or other damage. Check weight belt for proper tension (weight belt deflection at any
point should not exceed 25 mm); adjust as needed. (See

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:
