Maintenance

Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and smooth operation of your Body-Solid Fusion 500 Home Gym.

• Lubrication: If adjustments (e.g., pins, sliding parts) do not move easily, apply a Teflon spray lubricant to ensure smooth operation.

• Cleaning: Wipe down the frame, upholstery, and handles with a damp cloth after each use to remove sweat and dust. Avoid abrasive cleaners.

• Pulley Inspection: Check pulleys for smooth rotation and ensure they are free of debris.

Troubleshooting

• Difficulty with Adjustments: If adjustment pins or sliding components are stiff, apply a Teflon spray lubricant. Ensure no labels or obstructions are interfering with movement.
