7. Troubleshooting
If you encounter any issues with your KROFEM Glider Bench, refer to the following common solutions:
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Bench is unstable or wobbly. | Loose fasteners; uneven surface. | Ensure all bolts and nuts are securely tightened. Move the bench to a flat, level surface. |
| Squeaking noise during gliding. | Friction in the gliding mechanism; loose connections. | Check and tighten all assembly bolts. Apply a small amount of silicone-based lubricant to the gliding mechanism if necessary (avoid oil-based lubricants). |
| Difficulty assembling parts. | Incorrect orientation of parts; misaligned holes. | Refer to the assembly guide for correct part orientation. Do not fully tighten bolts until all parts are loosely connected. If holes do not align, gently adjust the frame. |
| Rust spots appearing on frame. | Damage to powder coating; prolonged exposure to moisture. | Clean the rust spots with a wire brush, then apply rust-inhibiting primer and outdoor-grade paint. Store or cover the bench during wet weather. |
