General Safety and Maintenance Manual: Weekly Inspection 11
Weekly Inspection
This section covers the tasks you should do each week to maintain the
equipment. Choose the appropriate tasks for your equipment,
depending on what you are maintaining:
• Condition and deep clean upholstery.
• Clean and lubricate cable rod ends.
• Clean and lubricate guide rods.
• Inspect cables, connections, and tension.
• Inspect cable handle attachments.
• Inspect pulleys.
• Inspect each weight stack and selector pin.
• Inspect and lubricate bearings and bushings.
• Check seat adjustment and test pop pins.
Condition and Deep Clean Upholstery
Condition and deep clean the upholstery weekly with a lanolin-based
hand cleaner or upholstery cleaner.
Important: To clean the upholstery, do not use cleaning products that
have any of these ingredients: solvents, alcohol, ammonia, and
petroleum. Use a mild detergent-based cleaner instead.
Clean and Lubricate Cable Rod Ends
Check cable rod ends to ensure the shoulder bolt is secure. If cable
rod ends are noisy, you can lubricate them with a silicone spray
lubricant, such as Super Lube
®
. Spray the lubricant onto the joint
where the spherical portion is enclosed in the outer housing (refer to
Figure 7). Wipe off any excess lubricant with a rag.
