Maintenance 51
Monthly Maintenance
USE EXTREME CAUTION when the rear cover of
any EFX is removed. Serious injury could result if
fingers are pinched between the flywheel spokes,
cranks, movable arms, and the drive weldment.
Securing the movable arm to the crank with a
clamp is recommended. Be aware of other people
within your work area who might cause the arm
to move.
Perform the following maintenance tasks every month:
1. Clean the frame, cover and arms with water or an
approved cleaner.
2. Wipe the exterior of the console with a damp sponge or
soft cloth, and dry with a clean towel. Keep water away
from electronic components to prevent electrical shock or
damage.
3. Clean the touchscreen using a soft, lint-free cloth
dampened with a 91% isopropyl alcohol solution (either
as sold or diluted with an equal amount of water).
4. Remove the rear cover. Vacuum out any debris, being
careful not to bring the vacuum cleaner nozzle too close
to any circuit board (unless your vacuum cleaner is
protected against static buildup).
5. Check the belt tension of the step-up and drive belts.
6. Clean and lubricate the lift motor screw with an approved
grease such as SuperLube® with Teflon® or Mobil 1®
synthetic grease (adjustable-ramp models only).
7. Check all fasteners for proper tightness and torque.
8. Replace all covers.
9. Verify that the unit sits squarely on the floor. All of its feet
should be touching the floor and the unit should not rock
or wobble when in use. If not, re-level it as described in.
