9.SERVICE AND TECHNICAL DATA

9.1PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE TIPS

Backed by the engineering excellence of Life Fitness, our commercial products are among the most popular equipment available today – regularly standing up to daily marathon use in health clubs, colleges and military facilities the world over. This same technology, engineering expertise and reliability has gone into the Life Fitness Cross-Trainer you now own.

To keep your Life Fitness Cross-Trainer operating at peak performance, use these helpful preventive maintenance tips:

•Use the Life Fitness Cross-Trainer in a cool, dry place.

•Clean the top surface of the pedals regularly.

•Keep the display console free of fingerprints and salt build-up caused by sweat.

•Use only soft, 100% cotton cloth, lightly moistened with water and mild liquid detergent, to clean the Cross-Trainer. Other fabrics, including paper towels, may scratch the surface. Do not use ammonia or acid-based cleaners.

•Long fingernails may damage or scratch the surface of the console; use the pad of the finger to press the selection buttons on the console.

•Clean the housing and arms thoroughly on a regular basis.

NOTE: When cleaning the exterior of the unit, use a non-abrasive cleanser and soft cotton cloth. At no time should cleanser be applied directly to any part of the equipment. Place cleaning solution on a soft cloth and then wipe unit down.

Do not move the unit or place hands into the unit while it is plugged into an electrical outlet.

9.2TROUBLESHOOTING THE HEART RATE CHEST STRAP

Heart Rate Reading Is Erratic Or Absent Entirely

•Repeat the electrode wetting procedure (see How to Use the Optional Heart Rate Monitor Chest Strap). The electrodes must be wet to pick up and transmit accurate heart rate readings.

•Make sure the electrodes are flat against the skin.

•Wash the belt transmitter regularly with mild soap and water.

•Make sure the chest strap transmitter is within three feet (one meter) of the heart rate receiver.

•The chest strap is battery operated and will eventually stop functioning. If the chest strap transmitter battery is depleted, contact Life Fitness Customer Support Services at 1-800-328-9714 or through lifefitness.com for instructions on how to have the chest strap replaced.

Heart Rate Reading Is Erratic Or Extremely High

When exercising with the Optional Heart Rate Chest Strap, you may encounter electromagnetic signals strong enough to cause abnormally elevated heart rate readings. Possible sources of such signals include:

•Television sets and/or antennas, cell phones, computers, cars, high voltage power lines, and other motor driven equipment that are too near your Cross-Trainer.

•Another heart rate transmitter within three feet (one meter) may also cause abnormal heart rate readings. To remedy the situation,
