Maintenance

M aintenance Information

1. Lubrication of all moving parts is essential to the longevity
and optimal performance of your Half Cage Ensemble.
Initial lubrication of some parts of your gym have been
done at the factory, but the Chrome Post (#31) must be
lubricated regularly. We recommend a clear aerosol, sili­cone or teflon spray.

Note: Do not use oil based lubricants as they will attract

dust, dirt and grime, and will eventually gum up and erode
bushings and sealed bearings.

6. Chrome plated surfaces should be cleaned regularly t
prolong the life and luster of the finish. Wipe machin
down with a damp cloth and dry thoroughly each day or a
needed.

7. When checking the bolts and nuts, be sure they are
fully fastened. If there is a bolt or nut that continuousl
loosens obtain a replacement thru your local Tuff Stuff r
tailer or call our Customer Service Department.

2. All pulleys and bushings should be checked regularly for
signs of wear.

3. Check and adjust tension on cables periodically as it will
maintain proper anatomical function.

4. Periodically check all parts for signs of wear or damage. If
there is a problem or replacement of a part is necessary,
STOP USING THE EQUIPMENT and immediately contact
your local Tuff Stuff retailer or call our Customer Service
Department. Replace parts using only genuine Tuff Stuff
parts.
