TOOLS
Working on this product will
require basic and/or sometimes
specialty tools based on the
type of service that will be
performed at any time. To assist,
we recommend having the tools
listed available when performing
maintenance.
MAINTENANCE
Cleaning
Keeping your unit clean is an important component of preventative maintenance and the overall aesthetics of
your product. While your clients will appreciate clean equipment free of sweat, dirt and other contaminants
proper care and cleaning will extend the life of your product and reduce premature aging and wear. See the
maintenance schedule for recommended frequency.
• For general cleaning: A solution of 10% mild soap with warm water applied with a soft damp cloth OR
Formula 409 applied to a cloth then wiped onto the upholstery.
Note – do not use cleaners that contain solvents, alcohol or abrasives.
• For disinfecting: 1:10 Bleach/Water mix. After cleaning, rinse area with clean water, then dry with a
clean, lint-free cloth. Failure to remove chemical residue will cause discoloration of the coated fabric
surface to manifest earlier in the life cycle of the product
• Inclusion in this document does not imply “fit for use.” Customers should first determine if products are
appropriate for use on their surfaces
• Should other cleaning methods or products be employed, carefully try them in an inconspicuous area
to determine potential damage to the material. Never use harsh solvents or cleaners which are intended
for industrial applications. To clean stained or soiled areas, a soft white cloth is recommended. Avoid
use of paper towels.
CAUTION: Cleaning products may be harmful/irritating to your skin, eyes, etc. Use protective gloves
and eye protection. Do not inhale or swallow any cleaning product. Protect surrounding area/clothing from
exposure. Use in a well-ventilated area. Follow all product manufacturer’s warnings. CORE Health and Fitness
cannot be held responsible for damage or injuries resulting from the use or misuse of cleaning products.
Inspection
Visual inspection of your units will insure a safe environment for your clients and alert you to any issues that
may require maintenance prior to equipment failure. Proper, timely visual inspection is a critical component
to the long term care of your product. Inspect the frame for any rust, bubbling, or paint chips during the daily
cleaning. The salt in perspiration can damage the unpainted surfaces. Repair the damaged area with a touch-
up paint kit purchased from Core Health & Fitness (See SUPPORT & SERVICE).
