MAINTENANCE / START

MAINTENANCE & CARE

Your Total Gym ELEVATE Core ADJ 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. The ELEVATE Core ADJ is not
safe to use if it is not maintained regularly
as follows. 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. If your ELEVATE Core
ADJ is damaged, please discontinue use
until defective components are repaired.
Please pay special attention to the
following wear items: rollers, cables and
handle grips.

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. You can clean the glideboard
material with a non oil-based window
cleaner. DO NOT USE ARMOR ALL® OR
LIKE SUBSTANCES. These will make
the glideboard slippery. Wipe down your
ELEVATE Core ADJ with a clean cloth.

MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE

DAILY

1. Wipe down all padded surfaces
with antibacterial cleanser after
each use.

2. Move the glideboard up and down
rails to ensure smooth rolling. If
glideboard does not roll smoothly,
clean rails and wheels thoroughly.

WEEKLY

1. Wipe down rails with a non­corrosive, no alkaline, no alcohol
cleanser.

2. Clean all surface areas for
aesthetics.

3. Check all screws and fasteners to
ensure they are installed correctly
and tightened.

4. Check all pads, fabric or foam for
punctures or wear and replace as
needed.

MONTHLY

1. Visually inspect the rollers. Clean
any debris accumulated on the
roller.

2. Inspect rubber stoppers, bungee
and computer.
