1.2. RECOMMENDATIONS
Technogym recommends the following steps for planning repair procedures:
Carefully evaluate the customers description of the machine malfunction and ask all the
necessary questions to clarify the symptoms of the problem.
Clearly diagnose the causes of the problem. This manual provides the fundamental theoretical
basis, which must then be integrated by personal experience and attendance at the training
courses periodically offered by Technogym.
Rationally plan the repair procedure so as to minimize the downtime necessary for procuring
spare parts, preparing tools, etc.
Access the component to be repaired, avoiding any unnecessary operations. In this regard it will
be useful to refer to the disassembly sequence described in this manual.

9.4. TWICE-YEARLY MAINTENANCE OPERATIONS

These operations can only be carried out by a qualified technician specifically trained by
Technogym and authorized to carry out machine installation and adjustments, as well as
special maintenance operations or repairs which require special knowledge of the
machine, its operation, safety systems and working procedures.
The six-monthly maintenance operations involve checking the functioning, wear and tension of the
mechanical components so as to ensure the correct and safe operation of the machine.
For the six-monthly maintenance of the machine, proceed as follows:
9.4.1.
SCREW AND BOLT CHECK
1. Make sure that the screws and bolts are firmly tightened, especially in the weight stack and seat
adjustment areas, and around moving parts in general. Tighten any that are loose.
