GLIDEBOARD:
ROLLER REMOVAL AND ASSEMBLY
STEP 1. Remove the six M6 screws

STEP 2. Roll the glideboard up and out
the top of the rails and set it upside down

mm socket wrench and a 13 mm openend wrench.

Bolt
Nut
STEP 4. Replace the rollers as needed
and reinstall the bolt and nut.
Tighten just enough so that the wheel can
roll but does not slide lengthwise on the
axle. DO NOT OVER TIGHTEN.
STEP 5. Reinstall the glideboard by
carefully and slowly rolling it back into the
rails.
STEP 6. Replace the Rail End Caps on the
rails and insure all 6 screws are tight.
MAINTENANCE
AND CARE
Your ELEVATE Press unit will offer you
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
ELEVATE Press with a clean cloth.
