Fitness Equipment Maintenance

---

All preventive maintenance activities must be performed on a regular basis. Performing routine preventive maintenance actions can aid in providing safe, trouble-free operation of all strength equipment.

• Upholstery: Wipe down soiled upholstery with recommended cleaning products such as gym wipes or a mild solution of 10% household liquid dish soap and 90% warm water. 
• Frames: Wipe down with gym wipes or a mild solution of car wash soap and water, dry thoroughly. For chrome tubes or areas of heavy use apply a coat of car wax to resist corrosion from sweat. 

• Inspect all bolts for looseness, tighten as required.
• Inspect all cables and belts for wear or damage.
• Inspect all handles and grips for wear or damage, particularly handle connecting points.
• Inspect all snap links for proper latching or wear.
• Inspect all labeling for readability; this includes placards, warning and caution decals.
• Inspect all weight stacks for proper alignment and operation.
• Wipe all guide rods clean, and lubricate with a lightweight motor oil.

• Replace all belts and cables at least once a year. 

All treadmills need to be installed on a dedicated circuit with independent grounds. This is important for proper function and safety reasons. It will also extend the life of certain components.

All preventive maintenance activities must be performed on a regular basis. Performing routine preventive maintenance actions can aid in providing safe, trouble-free operation of all cardiovascular equipment.

• Wipe any liquid spills immediately. After each workout, use Gymwipes to wipe any perspiration from grips or painted surfaces.
• Do not apply harsh solvents to displays or plastic surfaces, they may damage or discolor.

• Vacuum in and around machine. Remove covers to vacuum inside, carefully clean around motors and electronics. CAUTION: Be sure to unplug unit before removing covers, high voltages may still be present.
• Inspect power cords (if present) for damage in the housing or to the outlet prongs.
