3.2 Glideboard Installation

After assembling the frame and rail system, carefully lift the glideboard and align its wheels with the rails. Gently push the glideboard onto the rails, ensuring it moves smoothly without resistance. Secure the glideboard using the provided brackets and bolts, following the manual’s torque specifications. Check that the glideboard glides effortlessly along the entire length of the rails. If it does not move smoothly, inspect the wheels for proper alignment and lubrication. Once installed, test the glideboard by moving it back and forth to confirm smooth operation. Proper installation ensures safe and effective workouts on your Total Gym.

3.3 Attaching Accessories and Cables

Attach accessories like the wing attachment and squat stand according to the manual. Secure cables to pulleys and ensure they are properly routed through the system. Tighten all connections firmly to avoid slippage during use. For models with a Pilates toe bar, install it into the designated receptacles on the squat stand. Double-check that all accessories are aligned correctly and move freely. Follow the manual’s torque specifications for bolts and ensure no cable is over-tightened, as this could damage the system. After installation, test the equipment by performing a few exercises to confirm smooth operation and proper function of all components.

Glideboard Maintenance and Adjustment

Regularly lubricate the glideboard rails to ensure smooth operation and prevent wear. Clean the glideboard surface and rails to remove dirt and debris. Adjust glideboard tension as needed for optimal performance.

4.1 Lubrication and Cleaning

Regular lubrication of the glideboard rails is essential for smooth operation. Use a silicone-based lubricant, applying it evenly to the rails. Avoid over-lubrication to prevent dust accumulation. Clean the glideboard surface with a damp cloth, removing sweat and dirt to maintain hygiene. Dry the glideboard thoroughly before use to ensure grip and safety. Inspect the rails periodically for wear and debris, cleaning as needed. Proper maintenance extends the lifespan of your Total Gym and ensures optimal performance. Refer to your owner’s manual for specific cleaning solutions and lubrication recommendations tailored to your model.

4.2 Adjusting Glideboard Tension

Adjusting the glideboard tension ensures smooth movement and optimal workout performance. Locate the tension adjustment bolts, typically found at the rear of the glideboard. Use an Allen wrench to tighten or loosen the bolts in small increments, testing the glideboard’s movement after each adjustment. Proper tension should allow the glideboard to move effortlessly without binding. For models like the XLS or GTS, refer to the owner’s manual for specific tension settings. Avoid over-tightening, as this may restrict movement. Regular tension checks and adjustments will maintain your Total Gym’s performance and longevity, ensuring a safe and effective workout experience.
