THE HYDRAULIC SYSTEM
The hydraulic system consists of a heavy duty, reversible
gear pump. A flow control valve (black knob) is
connected between the input and the output ports. A
clear oil fill reservoir is located on top of the pump, at the
very top of the climber.
NOTE:
The oil in the pump clear pump reservoir always
darkens in color and most of the time, turns black in
color—this is normal.
WARNING NOTICE:
In order to maintain highest safety level of
equipment, a regular examination is required
for damage and wear. This requires a visual
inspection of connectors, cables, chains, sprockets,
pedals, handles etc. on a regular basis.
NOTICE:
Replace defective components immediately and/or
keep equipment out of use until repair is made.

VERSACLIMBER THREE -YEAR LIMITED WARRANTY
ROLLER AND SLIDE BEARINGS
There are rollers and slide bearings made from high pressure application moly-disulfide filled nylon on each
oscillating bar. The roller bearings are held on with 3/8” shafts and press-on grip rings. The slide bearings are held
in place with two 3/8” pins. The slide bearings have lubrication points. This bearing material is expected to be
maintenance free for years. The bearings are lightly lubricated at the factory and the wear life and smooth
operation of the machine can be assured by lubricating every two months or sooner if required. Lubricate with
any good quality synthetic lubricant.
First wipe any excess oil, lint, dirt, etc. from all internal accessible surfaces of the rectangular tubing. Move the
bars up and down to allow access to clean the two foot pedal slots and the two hand grip slots. Use paint
thinner to remove the oil and lint residue. When clean, wipe or spray a synthetic lubricant on all four internal
surfaces of the rectangulartubing.
PREVENTATIVE MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE
Daily:
1. Wipe down the main post, base and side rails with a rag and non-solvent, non-ammonia cleaning solution.
Weekly:
1. Hand check quick-release handle bushings, which the handles lock into, on both sides to make sure they
are tight.
2. Check oil level in top reservoir, it should be at least 3/4 full--this should never dip below.
A) If oil level is low, fill using 80/90 gear oil. Oil level should remain at 3/4 full.
B) If you notice the oil has turned dark or black, this is normal.
Oil never has to be changed.
NOTE:
TO MAINTAIN TRAUMA FREE MOTION, IT IS MANDATORY THAT YOU DO NOT, UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES, "BOTTOM
OUT" AT THE END OF EACH STROKE. ALSO, DO NOT HIT THE STEP HEIGHT LIMITERS WHEN
THEY ARE IN USE.
NOTE:
Never lube the internal tracks with any kind of grease.
Quarterly:
Wipe off the top & bottom chains and put a very light coat of light grease on chain. Using a toothbrush, or firm paint
brush, brush on grease on exposed chain.
This is the ONLY place you will use grease on the VersaClimber.
