General Maintenance
1. Wipe down all areas in the sweat path with a damp cloth after each workout.
2. If a squeak, thump, clicking or rough feeling develops, the main cause is most likely one of two reasons:
i. The hardware was not sufficiently tightened during assembly. All bolts that were
installed during assembly need to be tightened as much as possible. It may be
necessary to use a larger wrench than the one provided if you cannot tighten the bolts sufficiently. The
majority of calls to the service department for noise issues can be traced to loose hardware or the rear
rails being dirty.
ii. Dirt build-up on the rear rails and polyurethane wheels are also a source of noise. Noise from build-up
on the rails can cause a thumping sound that you would swear is coming from inside the main body
of the machine because noise travels and is amplified in the tubing of the frame. Clean the rails and
wheels with a lint free cloth and rubbing alcohol. Stubborn build-up can be removed with your
thumbnail or a non-metallic scraper, like the back edge of a plastic knife. After cleaning, apply a
small amount of lubricant on the rails with your fingers or a lint free cloth. You only need a thin
coat of lubrication, wipe off any excess.
3. If squeaks or other noises persist, check that the unit is properly leveled before calling the service
department.
Elliptical Noises
Your new elliptical is engineered and manufactured to the strictest industry standards and tolerances. All
elliptical trainers, no matter who the manufacturer, have a multitude of moving linkages and parts. Be aware
that even with the tightest mechanical tolerances there still could be a slight amount of play between some parts.
This inherent play can result in slight noises during use such as clicks and small thumps. Please expect that the
elliptical will not be completely silent.
