Section One | Maintenance
WHAT KIND OF ROUTINE MAINTENANCE IS REQUIRED?
We use sealed bearings throughout our ellipticals so lubrication is not needed. The most important
maintenance steps are to wipe perspiration off the unit after each use and periodically checking the
assembly bolts for tightness.
HOW DO I CLEAN MY ELLIPTICAL?
Clean with soap and water cleaners only. Never use solvents on plastic parts.
Cleanliness of your elliptical and its operating environment will keep maintenance problems and service
calls to a minimum. For this reason, AFG recommends that the following preventive maintenance
schedule be followed.
AFTER EACH USE (DAILY)
Turn off the elliptical by unplugging the power cord from the wall outlet
• Wipe down the elliptical with a damp cloth. Never use solvents, as they can cause damage to the
elliptical.
• Inspect the power cord. If the power cord is damaged, contact AFG.
• Make sure the power cord is not underneath the elliptical or in any other area where it can become
pinched or cut.
WEEKLY
Clean underneath the elliptical, following these steps:
• Turn off the elliptical.
• Move the elliptical to a remote location.
• Wipe or vacuum any dust particles or other objects that may have accumulated underneath the
elliptical.
• Return the elliptical to its previous position.
EVERY MONTH
• Inspect all assembly bolts and pedals on the machine for proper tightness.
• Clean any debris off of the pedal arm wheels and guide rails.
