fasteners, cable tensions issues, unusual noises, and
any other indications that the equipment may be in need
of service.
You are responsible for the proper maintenance of the

Shrouds
CAUTION: Clean the Shrouds with product
specifically labeled as safe for acrylic. Use a clean,
nonabrasive cloth and light pressure to avoid
scratching the acrylic surface.
The acrylic Shrouds on the FTS Glide are easily
scratched or damaged through improper cleaning
techniques. To avoid problems, dust the shrouds often
with a clean, lint-free cloth and light pressure. Avoid
rubbing dirt or grit into the surface. If you use glass
cleaner or a similar product, make sure the label states
that it is safe to use on Plexiglas
®
or acrylic products.
Important: DO NOT use ketones, aromatics, esters,
halogens, window cleaning sprays, alcohol, kitchen
scouring compounds, or solvents (such as acetone,
benzene, gasoline, carbon tetrachloride, or thinners).
Do not use ammonia-based cleaning solutions
because the ammonia destroys the plastic coating.
To remove light scratches on the smooth side only, use
a buffing compound such as, car wax. Lightly buff the
acrylic sheet using a clean buffer until the scratches
disappear.
