UNICA EVOLUTION: Service & Maintenance Manual - rev. 1.1
8. MAINTENANCE
Periodic scheduled maintenance operations are necessary to keep the machines in perfect working
order and prevent problems. There are essentially 3 types of maintenance operations:
• Cleaning operations;
• Routine maintenance operations;
• Special maintenance operations.
These should be carried out at different intervals, and by technical personnel with different skill
sets. The paragraphs below illustrate the recommended operations.
8.1. CLEANING
These operations may be carried out by the machine owner, and require no special
expertise.
The machines require simply external cleaning to respect normal health and hygiene standards. We
recommend that you carry out these operations at least once a week.
Follow the procedure below for cleaning:
8.1.1. CLEANING THE FRAME AND PAINTED PARTS
1. Clean the frame and painted parts of the machine using a cloth moistened with neutral (non-
acid) soap.
CAUTION: do not use alcohol, benzene, or chemical products in general.
8.1.2. CLEANING THE CHROME-PLATED PARTS
Do not carry out this test on the sliding bars of the weight stack.
1. Use a paper towel slightly dampened with ethyl alcohol to clean the chrome-plated parts of the
machine, removing dust and grime.
CAUTION: remove any surface rust spots with a metal scrubber.
2. If you expect the machines to remain unused for an extended period of time, we recommend
protecting the chrome-plated parts with a layer of liquid petroleum jelly applied to the surface.
Once you start using them again, clean the chrome-plated parts with a paper towel slightly
moistened with ethyl alcohol.
8.1.3. CLEANING UPHOLSTERY
1. We recommend that you perform this operation daily.
