Model D Maintenance

Daily

Wipe the monorail with a cloth or non-abrasive scouring pad after use. You can use soap and water or any glass cleaner. Do not use mineral acids, bleach, or coarse abrasives.

Every 50 hours of use (weekly for institutional users)

  • Clean and lubricate the chain with Concept2 Chain Oil (a purified mineral oil), 20W motor oil, or 3-in-1 Oil. Use 1 teaspoon of oil on a paper towel, and rub the paper towel along entire length of chain. Wipe off the excess. Repeat if needed.
  • Inspect the chain for stiff links. If thorough lubrication does not help, the chain should be replaced.

Every 250 hours of use (monthly for institutional users)

  • Inspect the chain-handle connection for wear. If the hole has become elongated, or the U-bolt is worn halfway through, the entire connection should be replaced.
  • Tighten the shock cord if the handle does not return all the way to the fan enclosure. See the  Shock Cord Adjustment PDF (Model C and D instructions are the same for this inspection).
  • Check the socket screws used to install the front leg for tightness.
  • Loosen or tighten the nuts on the Performance Monitor arm joints as necessary. See the  Performance Monitor Arm Tension Adjustment PDF (Model C and D instructions are the same for this inspection).
  • Check for dust inside flywheel with a flashlight. Vacuum if needed.

IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTE

Use of this machine with a worn or weakened part, such as the chain, sprockets, swivel connector or shock cord, may result in injury to the user. When in doubt about the condition of any part, Concept2 strongly advises that it be replaced immediately. Use only genuine Concept2 parts. Use of other parts may result in injury or poor performance of machine.
