Regular maintenance of your elliptical is necessary to extend the life of your
machine and allow it to continue to function properly. lease keep the elliptical,
especially the computer console, out of direct sunlight to prevent screen damage
or premature wear.
Cleaning
Keep the machine clean and free of any debris by vacuuming around the moving
parts and wiping the machine down with a clean cotton cloth. The elliptical can be
cleaned with a soft cloth and mild detergent. Do not use abrasives or solvents on
plastic parts. Be careful not get excessive moisture on the computer display panel
as this might cause an electrical hazard or electronics to fail. Immediately wipe
your perspiration off the elliptical after each use.
Lubrication
Regularly inspect your machine for any loose connections and tighten them.
Creating a consistent lubrication routine on the moving parts of the elliptical can
stop it from squeaking.
1. Check the floor where the elliptical sits to verify the floor is level. An Uneven
floor could create unnecessary stress on the moving parts of the elliptical,
creating a squeak.
2. Spray an aerosol multi-purpose or silicon-based lubricant onto the bolts that
connect the handlebars to the lower arms. The lower arms support the
footpads or pedals on the elliptical.
3. Spray the lubricant onto the bolts connecting the foot bars to the crank and the
bolts connecting the crank to the mainframe.
Storage
Store the elliptical trainer in a clean and dry environment away from children.
