Maintenance and Care
Battery Management: The console is battery-powered. If the display becomes dim or the backlit feature stops working, replace the batteries promptly to prevent data loss or leakage.
Screen Protection: Avoid using abrasive chemicals or rough cloths on the LCD screen. Use a soft, damp microfiber cloth for cleaning.
Weather Awareness: While the TANK sled is weather-resistant, the console is an electronic component. Avoid leaving the console-equipped sled in heavy rain or extreme moisture for extended periods.
Mounting Security: Periodically ensure the console is securely attached to the TANK frame and that the sensor wiring remains tucked away and free from potential snags during use.
Warranty Information
Torque Fitness provides a standard 1-year warranty on the console for defects in parts, materials, and workmanship.
