INTRODUCTION CO M M O N P R O D U CT Q U E S T I O N S IMPORTANT PRECAUTIONS ARE THE SOUNDS MY ELLIPTICAL MAKES NORMAL? ASSEMBLY Our ellipticals are some of the quietest available because they use belt drives and friction free magnetic resistance. We use the highest grade bearings and belts to minimize noise. However, because the resistance system itself is so quiet, you will occasionally hear other slight mechanical noises.
INTRODUCTION MAINTENANCE IMPORTANT PRECAUTIONS 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 tighten all assembly bolts and wipe your perspiration off the trainer after each use. HOW DO I CLEAN MY ELLIPTICAL? ASSEMBLY Clean with soap and water cleaners only. Never use solvents on plastic parts.
