TRAINING AND CARE INSTRUCTIONS
Before the first training
•
Using a soft cloth (e.g. cotton), remove the oil from the handlebar and the
holders of your new barbell bar. The oil used protects your new barbell bar
from rust during storage and transportation.
•
We recommend that you always add a few drops of oil to the barbell bar
bearings before using the barbell bar for the first time. 3:1 oil is excellent
for this purpose, it can also be purchased as a spray.
Note: WD-40 is not a suitable oil and should not be used for this purpose.
After the training
After training, clean the barbell bar thoroughly with a cloth or soft brush to
remove sweat, magnesium and other foreign matter. This will keep the bar
clean and protect the coating. This is the easiest and best way to protect
against rust.
REGULAR MAINTENANCE
•
In addition to regular cleaning of the handlebars, you should add a small
amount of suitable oil to the bearings in the barbell bar every month. For
this, 2 pump shocks or 2 drops per receptacle are sufficient. To lubricate
the bearings, place the barbell bar upright and pour the oil into the inner
area of the receptacle (between the handlebar and the receptacle). To
ensure optimum distribution of the oil, slowly rotate the receptacle of the
freshly oiled side back and forth and leave the barbell bar upright for a
longer period of time. Repeat the procedure on the opposite side.
•
It is recommended to completely oil the bar every six months to maintain
it and build up a light protective film. For this purpose the entire bar is
oiled, the excess oil can be wiped off a few hours later with a soft cloth.
