MAINTENANCE AND TROUBLESHOOTING
For optimal performance of the strength equipment and to reduce the chances of injury to users, you must perform 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 EPIC 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
Upholstery and Frame—General Cleaning
1. Clean the strength equipment using a soft cloth
dampened with a light solution of mild soap and
warm water. If necessary, use a soft bristle brush
with the cleaning solution.
2. Rinse the area thoroughly using a soft cloth dampened with clean water and dry thoroughly
Upholstery—Difficult Stains
1. Spray the stain with a non-abrasive household
cleaner such as FORMULA 409®cleaner, SIMPLE
GREEN®, or a similar product. Rub the stained
area gently and let the cleaning solution sit for a
few minutes.
2. Rinse the area thoroughly using a soft cloth dampened with clean water and dry thoroughly.
3. Repeat these steps if necessary using a soft bristle
brush.
Optional Method for Difficult Stains
1. Rub the stained area gently using a soft cloth
dampened with rubbing alcohol.
2. Rinse the area thoroughly using a soft cloth dampened with clean water and dry thoroughly.
CAUTION: When using any cleaning product, try it
first in an unnoticeable place to ensure that there is no
damage to the material. Follow the directions and the
safety precautions of the manufacturer of each cleaning product used. FreeMotion Fitness and its vendors
cannot be held liable for damage or injuries resulting
from the use or misuse of cleaning products.
Important: Do not use abrasive cleaners, which may
scratch the strength equipment. Strong cleaners and
abrasives will damage decals; use caution around
decals. Do not use solvents such as lacquer thinner
kerosene, gasoline, or similar liquids.

WEEKLY MAINTENANCE
Hardware
Check all nuts and bolts and tighten them as required.
Important: All FREEMOTION EPIC cushions have
dense plywood supports with tee-nuts that are used to
bolt the cushions to the strength equipment. Because
the tee-nuts are held by the plywood, they will not
withstand the torque that standard nuts and bolts will.
When tightening the bolts 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.
Cables
1. Check the cable for proper tension (see CABLE
ADJUSTMENT on page 8).
2. Check the entire length of the cable by slowly performing one repetition on the exercise equipment;
inspect the cable that is exposed on the exterior of
the strength equipment and the cable inside the
tower. Run your fingers along the cable, paying
close attention at the bends and attachment points.
Watch for the following conditions, which may indicate a worn cable in need of replacement:
A. a torn or split cable sheath that exposes the
cable
B. a kinked or severely bent cable
C. a curled or twisted sheath
D. a stretched cable sheath, showing a thinning
cross-section

Cable Guards
Check the cable guards to ensure that they are not
ubbing against the cable and that they are holding
r
the cable in the grooves of the pulleys. If the cable
uard is not correctly aligned, loosen the bolt slightly,

readjust the cable guard as necessary, and retighten
the bolt.

the cable, adjust the cable as described in the following steps.
Clean and lubricate the full length of each guide rod
by wiping it with a soft cloth containing a lightweight
motor oil, 10W-40 or 10W-30 weight. Apply only a
light coating over the entire length of the guide rod.
Do not use TEFLON®or silicone-based lubricants.
CABLE ADJUSTMENT
For the strength equipment to function correctly, the
cable must be tensioned correctly. To check the tension of the cable, insert the weight pin into the top
weight plate. Next, slowly raise and lower the top
weight by performing one repetition. The top weight
should come to rest just on top of the second weight
when the repetition is completed.

3. Move the pulley to the appropriate location in the
bracket. If more slack is needed in the cable,
move the pulley down. If less slack is needed in
the cable, move the pulley up.
4. Make sure that the cable guard is properly oriented (see CABLE GUARDS on page 8) and retighten the locknut attaching the pulley to the bracket.
5. Lift the top weight and remove the weight pin.
Lower the top weight onto the weight stack.
6. Readjust as necessary.
Locknut
If there is too much tension on the cable, the top
weight will not rest on the second weight, and it may
be difficult to insert the weight pin into the weight
plates. If there is not enough tension on the cable, the

on page 8; then, go to step 2 below.
3. Pull the cable out of the top weight coupler.
Determine the amount that the cable needs to be
hortened, and cut that much off the end of the
s
cable. The cable must be long enough to be

weight.
2. Lift the coupler cover from the top weight coupler.
Loosen but do not remove the two set screws in
each side of the weight coupler.

(2.5 cm) of the vinyl sheath from the cut end of
the cable.
5. Insert the cable into the top weight coupler until all
four set screws can be tightened against the
cable. Tighten each set screw alternately 1/4 turn,
until all are set to 85 inch/pounds (9.6 Newtonmeters)
6. Lower the coupler cover over the top weight coupler.
7. Slowly perform a repetition using a light load and

WEIGHT STACK SERVICING
ervicing the weight stack involves replacing the two
S
guide bushings and weight insert in the top weight. To
rder these parts, see HOW TO CONTACT CUS-
o
TOMER CARE on the back cover of this manual.
9. Reattach the cable to the top weight coupler.
Retighten the four set screws into the threaded
oles. Tighten the set screws equally until they
h
contact the cable. Then, tighten each screw alter-
ately 1/4 turn, until all are set to 85 inch/pounds
n
(9.6 Newton-meters).
1. Remove the wingnuts under the tower cap and
remove the tower cap from the tower.
2. Remove the guide rod nuts and washers from the
top of each guide rod.
3. Lift the coupler cover and loosen the four set
screws—this will release the cable.
4. Lift the guide rods out of the top of the tower.
5. Remove the rod nut, rod star washer, and rod
washer from the top of the weight rod. Lift and
rotate the top weight, and remove it through the
front opening of the tower.
6. Use a punch to drive the two existing guide bushings and the weight insert out of the top weight.

over the entire length. Do not use TEFLON®or sili-
cone-based lubricants.
11. Reinsert the guide rods through the top of the tower
and into the weight stack. Note: If the weight stack
has shifted, use a short bar to realign the holes in
the weight plates. Hold the weight plates while
inserting the guide rods.
WARNING: Do not force the
guide rods into the weights; doing so will
damage the bushings and weight inserts.
12. Reattach the guide rods to the top of the frame with
the two guide rod nuts and washers.
13. Insert the weight pin into the top weight. Slowly perform a repetition, lifting the top weight as far as
possible. Then, slowly lower the top weight. If the
top weight sticks, loosen one of the guide rod nuts.
Slowly perform another repetition. Retighten the
guide rod nut. Check the full travel again and readjust the guide rod nuts as necessary.
7. Hold one of the new guide bushings square to the
face of one of the holes in the top weight, place a
protective piece of wood on top of the guide bushing, and lightly tap the guide bushing until it is flush
with the surface.
