Assembly

This procedure has already been carried out in laboratory from the technicians of the Pilatech singularly for every tool before the shipment.

Any possible problem of assemblage has already been resolved.

Wood is a natural material and endures variations of dimensions with varying of the temperature and humidity.
It is possible that the joint between several components can be a little bit difficult. Follow the instructions without forcing and do not damage wooden parts.
Some small scraps on the painting where implantation screws are inserted can derive from our laboratory pre-assembly procedures.

Maintenance

A tool’s level of safety and efficiency can be maintained with a periodic and regular attention to all the parts.

If you find any damage, breach or defect, please inform Pilatech Srl as soon as possible to agree to replace the part or ask for an attendance service.

In the meantime the tool must not be used.

Especially you must check periodically the assemblage state of:

• Structure: the wooden part must be cleaned with a damp cloth and a neutral soap.
  Never use alcoholic or aggressive products. Use a brush to eliminate powder in recesses.
• Front face footboard: check the stability and for any irregular movements. Make sure that it is never loaded beyond the maximum load and only in the correct modalities of exercises execution.
• Metal parts: metal parts usually do not need any maintenance. For cleaning use the same cloth used for the wood.
• Wheels and sliding system: do not lubricate any component.
  Ball bearings are self-lubricating.
  The use of oil and fat only makes the parts become powdery and it has a harmful impact on the functionality of components.
  Clean wheels with the same cloth used for the wood. Use the brush if necessary.
  Check if wheels slide correctly and pay attention for any irregular noises.
• Footbar pivols: do not lubricate them. Footbar rubber must be cleaned with a damp, lint-free cloth.
• Blocks and sheet-chokes: do not lubricate them.
  Keep these components clean.
  Check sheet-chokes closing capability. An uncharacteristic noise, while sliding, means that ball bearings are breaking.
• Ropes and belts: pay attention to the wear on ropes and belts. Change them in case of eccessive and dangerous wear.
• Upholstery: also this part must be cleaned with a damp cloth and neutral soap. Alcoholic and aggressive products can remove the surface’s protective film.
• Screws: periodically check the holding state of all the screws. Use equipment instruments if necessary to tighten the screws.
