Batca Fitness Systems strives to give you the very best in quality, performance and safety through
carefully engineered designs and excellent workmanship. In order to maintain this high level of quality
the preventative maintenance schedule below should be followed.
Clean upholstery, grips, and roller pads with mild soap and water generally after every use. The guide
rods, chrome slides and frame should be cleaned with a cotton cloth. Upon cleaning the guide rods, a thin
layer of Silicone or Teflon gel should be applied to each rod to ensure a glass smooth performance.
An overall inspection should be done before each workout. If the warning and safety decals are worn or
have been removed they should be replaced immediately. The cables and cable systems should be inspected
for signs of wear and proper tension. In order to check cables properly you should carefully run the
cable through your fingertips, checking for signs of wear, cracks, burs and thinning spots. Replace any
part at first signs of wear. Cables should be adjusted for proper tension. See assembly instructions for
this detail. All hardware, stops, and adjustments should be checked and tightened as required.
The guide rods on your machine should be cleaned and lubricated regularly. This will ensure a glass
smooth performance from your weight stack. A thin layer of either Silicone or Teflon gel should applied
to each rod. Each pillow block bearing and flange bearing has a grease fittings that must be lubricated
regularly. Use general purpose bearing grease and follow the schedule below.
Although cables should be inspected daily, it is important that ALL cables be replaced as directed in the
schedule below. Please note that at any first sign of wear the cable should be replaced immediately.
