Keeping your stair steppers
clean and in optimum
working order should be
any Fitness Center’s top
priority. With the following
stair stepper maintenance
schedule, you’ll be on your way to less malfunctions and smoother
operation.
Daily
Remove excessive accumulations of dust, dirt, sweat, and other sub-
stances by using a clean soft cloth and a liquid non abrasive cleaner
such as fitness equipment polish. Wipe down the display board,
handrails, covers, heart rate grips, steps, and frame. Make sure sweat is
wiped clean o of the unit so that the machine will not rust.
Weekly
• Vacuum the oor under and around the stepper. You may want to
move the stepper so that you can fully remove all of the dust from under
the machine.
• Check all of the screws on the handrails, display and covers to make
sure they are tight. Retighten if necessary.
• Test each stepper in the user mode. Make sure you can adjust the
speed in which the steps are moving. If there is any unusual resistance or
noise, inform an owner or manager so that they may make arrangements
to have the unit inspected and possibly repaired.
Monthly
• You must remove the covers, shut the stepper o and unplug it to
perform the monthly maintenance.
• Using a vacuum and fine paintbrush remove all of the dust from inside
the stepper. Afterward, use a clean cloth and fitness equipment cleaner
and degreaser to wipe any excessive grease from the frame.
• Wipe the entire length of the chains with fitness equipment cleaner
and degreaser and then use fitness equipment silicone lubricant or White
Lightning to re-lubricate the chains. If it is a unit without chains, just
wipe the tension belts clean.
• Clean and inspect the friction / timing belt. If it is worn, cracked or
frayed, report this problem to an owner or manager so that they may
make arrangements to have the belt replaced.
• Wipe the springs to remove grease, dust, or dirt. If there is a heavy
build up of grease use fitness equipment cleaner and degreaser.
• If the unit is equipped with a timing chain or resistance chain, be sure
to wipe the chain clean with fitness equipment cleaner and degreaser,
and re-lubricate the chain using fitness equipment lubricant or White
Lightning.
• Remove the alternator brushes from the alternator and check for wear
if they are worn, report the problem to an owner or manager so that they
may make arrangements to have the parts replaced. When re-installing
the motor brushes be sure that they are re-inserted the exact same way
that they were removed. If this is not performed correctly it will damage
the alternator which will result in the need for repair or replacement of
the alternator.
• Before putting the covers back on the machine be sure that all of the
electrical connections are properly connected.
Bi-Annually
• Inject grease into the hub assembly using a grease gun.
