Maintenance Tips

• Tighten hardware: Regularly inspect and secure all bolts and frame joints to maintain stability under heavy commercial use (~903 lbs machine).
• Weight stack care: Ensure smooth guide-rod movement; clean rods periodically to reduce friction and noise.
• Safety lock indicators: Verify arm “locked” indicators function correctly before each use for safe operation.
• Accessory inspection: Check stabilizing handles and attachments for secure fit and wear.
• Deep monthly cleaning: Remove dust from stack housings, pivot points, and internal cable paths.
