TOTAL GYM® PRESS TRAINERTM OWNER’S GUIDE | WARRANTY INFORMATION
MAINTENANCE
Maintenance and Care
Your Total Gym Press Trainer unit will
offer you or your facility and your clientele
years of easy operation if you follow these
simple tips for maintenance and care.
With periodic cleaning, moving parts and
rolling surfaces will maintain their smooth
function. Clean rail surfaces on a regular
basis with a noncorrosive cleaner like soap
and water or waterless cleaner or just wipe
clean with a dry towel. Some black powder
residue is normal on the inside of the rails.
All other parts can be cleaned the same
way or antibacterial wipes may be used.
Caution! DO NOT USE ANY LUBRICANTS
OR SILICONE-BASED PRODUCTS on
the rails or wheels. This will cause the
wheels to slide rather than roll and will
damage the wheels. Use a non oil–based
window cleaner on the glideboard
material. DO NOT USE ARMOR ALL® OR
LIKE SUBSTANCES. These will make the
glideboard slippery. Wipe down your Total
Gym Press Trainer with a clean cloth.
