6. Maintenance

Regular maintenance ensures the safety and longevity of your Pilates Reformer Cadillac Machine.

• Cleaning: Wipe down the frame and upholstery with a damp cloth after each use. For the microfiber leather, use a mild soap solution if necessary, then wipe dry. Avoid harsh chemicals.
• Inspection: Periodically check all nuts, bolts, and connections for tightness. Ensure springs are free from rust or damage. Inspect ropes and pulleys for fraying or wear.
• Lubrication: Apply a silicone-based lubricant to the carriage wheels and rails every few months or as needed to maintain smooth operation.
• Storage: Store the machine in a dry, temperate environment away from direct sunlight or extreme temperatures.

7. Troubleshooting

If you encounter any issues with your Pilates Reformer Cadillac Machine, refer to the following common problems and solutions:

• Squeaking Noise: Check all connections for tightness. Lubricate carriage wheels and rails with silicone spray. Ensure springs are properly attached and not rubbing against each other.
• Carriage Not Moving Smoothly: Inspect the rails for debris and clean if necessary. Lubricate the rails and wheels. Check for any obstructions.
• Loose Components: Regularly check and tighten all bolts and screws. If a part is consistently loosening, apply thread locker (e.g., Loctite) to the threads before re-tightening.
• Springs Not Providing Consistent Resistance: Ensure springs are correctly attached. If a spring appears stretched or damaged, replace it immediately.
