MAINTENANCE AND TROUBLESHOOTING
For optimal performance of the strength equipment and to reduce the chances of injury to users, you must per-
form preventive maintenance on a regular basis. Instruct all personnel to perform the procedures described in
this section. Personnel must also record and report any accident. To maintain the strength equipment’s warranty,
use only FREEMOTION parts for repair or replacement. If there are any questions or concerns, see HOW TO
CONTACT CUSTOMER CARE on the back cover of this manual.
DAILY MAINTENANCE
General Cleaning
Clean the strength equipment using a soft cloth damp-
ened with mild soap and warm water. If necessary, use
a soft bristle brush with the cleaning solution.
Then, rinse the strength equipment using a soft cloth
dampened with clean water, and thoroughly dry it.
Difficult Stains
Spray the stain with a non-abrasive household cleaner
such as FORMULA 409
®
, SIMPLE GREEN
®
, or a simi-
lar product. Rub the stained area gently and then let
the cleaning solution sit for a few minutes.
Then, rinse the strength equipment using a soft cloth
dampened with clean water, and thoroughly dry it.
If necessary, repeat these steps using a soft bristle
brush.
Optional Method for Difficult Stains
Rub the stained area gently using a soft cloth damp-
ened with rubbing alcohol.
Then, rinse the strength equipment using a soft cloth
dampened with clean water, and thoroughly dry it.
CAUTION:
Follow the directions and the safety pre-
cautions of the manufacturer of each cleaning product
used. FreeMotion Fitness and its vendors cannot be
held liable for injuries or damage resulting from the use
or misuse of cleaning products.
IMPORTANT:
When
using any cleaning product, try it first in a hidden place
to ensure that there is no damage to the material. Do
not use abrasive cleaners; strong cleaners; or solvents
such as lacquer thinner, kerosene, gasoline, or similar
liquids. Such substances may scratch the strength
equipment, damage plastic parts and decals, or cause
other damage.
WEEKLY MAINTENANCE
Hardware
Check all nuts, bolts, and screws, and tighten them
if necessary. Replace any worn parts immediately.
IMPORTANT:
All cushions have dense plywood sup-
ports with tee-nuts that are used to attach the cushions
to the strength equipment. Because the tee-nuts are
held by the plywood, they will not withstand the torque
that standard nuts will. When tightening the bolts or
screws securing a cushion, turn them only until they
are snug and the cushion does not move or feel loose.
Overtightening may strip the tee-nuts from the plywood
and make it impossible to remove the cushion in the
future. Note: Your strength equipment may not have
cushions.
Cable Inspection
Check the entire length of each cable by slowly per-
forming one repetition on the strength equipment.
Inspect the cable on the exterior of the strength equip-
ment and the cable on the interior. Run your fingers
along the cable, paying close attention at the bends
and attachment points. Watch for the following condi-
tions, which may indicate a worn cable that should be
replaced:
A. a torn or split sheath that exposes the cable
B. a kinked or severely bent cable
C. a curled or twisted sheath
D. a stretched sheath with a thinning cross-section
