Before cleaning or carrying out any maintenance on your ellipcal, ensure the power is turned o
and the power cord removed from the plug socket.
Prolong the life of your ellipcal by performing periodic maintenance checks. Not only does this
ensure your machine is in full working order to ensure they connue to run smoothly and reliably,
but it will save you service costs in the long run.
Cleaning
General cleaning of the unit aer use will protect the ellipcals powder-coated framework and
prevent unnecessary corrosion stains and damage to the structural components from sweat and
perspiraon. During this me check for any cracks and damage.
Pivot points
No maer what style of ellipcal trainer you have there will be areas where the arms and
legs rotate on an axle or bolt. These pivot points need to be ghtened enough so there is sll
movement in the desired direcon of travel but no sideways movement.
Excessive sideways movement causes knocking noises and extra wear. Crosstrainers with a sealed
bearing on the axle do not require greasing however units with a plasc or brass bushing should
be greased twice a year with general purpose automove grease between the axle and bush. This
ensures that the moving parts are not rubbing directly on one another and causing wear.
Joins in frame
Areas where the frame is bolted together (e.g. the upright mast to the base or the stabiliser legs
to the base) need to be kept really ght. Any movement in these areas can cause knocking or
squeaking noises during use. It pays to check once every couple of months that things haven’t
loosened o. Using a thread-locking compound is encouraged but it’s sll not a permanent
soluon, checking on a regular basis is the best bet to keep your machine running as best it
possibly can.
