KIDSFIT CHECKLIST FOR PREVENTATIVE MAINTENANCE:
The below guidelines are small, everyday tasks. Yet, they are VITAL to extend the
life of the unit and avoid any service issues. In general, issues that arise with this
equipment is usually due to loose parts or unsupervised use. Please keep in mind
the importance of these regular check-ups.
______ INSPECT BOLTS and make sure they are tightened at all times. A loose
bolt is the number one cause of elliptical malfunction, and can be easily prevented
by regular check-ups.This includes all screws around base, footplates, front console,
computer case, and L and R cover of elliptical body . An allen key set and Phillips
screwdriver will be sufficient for unit upkeep.
________ CLEAN COVERS, FRAME. Use non-alcoholic disinfectant and towel after
each use to wipe down entire unit, including footplates, computer case, handlebars,
and body of the elliptical. Non-alcohol cleaners are required to maintain color
vibrance of unit (ex: Simple Green)
_________ CHECK BATTERY A low battery will cause the computer to malfunction. If
you begin to notice any issues with the computer, your first step needs to be
replacing the batteries AA and reset computer.
_________ INSPECT CRANKS - If any part of the unit feels loose, DO NOT USE the unit
until the proper bolts are fully tightened. Using the unit with loose bolts will cause
further damage, and will cause other parts of the unit to break or malfunction.
_________ ADULT SUPERVISION IS REQUIRED AT ALL TIMES A child should never
be left alone to use the elliptical. This is the most common cause of improper use
and can result in injury to the child, or damage to the elliptical.
_________PREVENT DESTRUCTION by allowing only 1 child on the unit at a time. AT
NO TIME SHOULD THE CHILD’S BODY WEIGHT BE ENTIRELY ON ONE SIDE OF THE
ELLIPTICAL. Without supervision, children have a tendency to stand on one side of
the elliptical with all of their body weight, or grab a friend to stand on the other side.
This uneven distribution of weight, will break the elliptical. Body weight must be
evenly distributed at all times, left foot/left plate and right foot/right plate.
