MAINTENANCE
t is important for safe and trouble-free operation of your FREEMOTION EPIC strength equipment to perform
I
routine preventive maintenance on a regular basis. Instruct all personnel to perform equipment inspection and
maintenance requirements. Personnel must 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.
SCHEDULED MAINTENANCE
DAILY
1. Upholstery—General cleaning:
• Wipe 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.
• Rinse thoroughly using a soft cloth dampened
with clean water and dry thoroughly.
2. Upholstery—Difficult stains:
• Spray the stain with a non-abrasive household
cleaner such as FORMULA 409®cleaner,
SIMPLE GREEN®, or a similar product.
• Rub the area gently and let it sit for a few minutes.
• Rinse thoroughly using a soft cloth dampened
with clean water and dry thoroughly.
• Repeat if necessary using a soft bristle brush.
Optional method for difficult stains:
• Rub the area gently using a soft cloth dampened with rubbing alcohol.
• Rinse thoroughly using a soft cloth dampened
with clean water and dry thoroughly.
CAUTION: When using any cleaning product, try
it first in an inconspicuous place to ensure that
there is no damage to the material. Follow the
directions and adhere to 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.
WEEKLY
1. Hardware:
• Check all nuts and bolts. Tighten them as
required. Important: All FREEMOTION EPIC
cushions are fabricated using dense plywood
with tee-nuts installed for bolting to the machine
framework. Because these tee-nuts are held by
the plywood, they will not withstand the torque
that standard nuts and bolts will. Therefore,
when tightening the cushion bolts, 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.
2. Cables:
• Check all cables for proper tension.
• Check the entire length of the cable by pulling
each handle individually to its fully extended
position and inspecting the cable that is
exposed on the exterior of the machine, as well
as the cable inside of the cut stack 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. torn or split cable sheath that exposes the
cable
kinked or severely bent cable
B.
C. curled or twisted sheath
D. stretched cable sheath, showing a thinning
cross-section
Frames:
3.
• Wipe using a soft cloth dampened with a light
solution of mild soap and warm water
thoroughly using a soft cloth dampened with
clean water and dry thoroughly
Important: Do not use abrasive cleaners
because they may scratch the equipment. Strong
cleaners and abrasives will damage decals. Use
caution around decals. Do not use solvents such
as lacquer thinner
liquids.

1. Weight Stack Guide Rods:
• Clean and lubricate the full length by wiping
using a soft cloth containing a lightweight
motor oil, 10W-40 or 10W-30 weight. Only a
light coating over the entire length is needed.
Note: Do not use TEFLON®or siliconebased lubricants.
CABLE TENSION CHECK
1. Insert the weight pin into the top weight plate.
2. Slowly raise and lower the top weight by normal
achine use. The top weight should come to
m
rest just on top of the second weight when the
eg lever is returned to the resting position.
l
• 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
top weight will not be lifted immediately when
the leg lever is lifted. Ideally, the leg lever/cable
should not move more than 1/2 in. (1.25 cm)
from the resting position before the top weight
begins to be lifted.
3. If there is too much or not enough tension on the
cable, adjust the cable as described in CABLE
ADJUSTMENTS.

1. Remove the wingnuts under the tower cap and
remove the tower cap from the tower.
2. Remove the guide rod nut and washer 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 tube. Lift and
rotate the top weight, and remove it through the
front opening of the tower.
6. Servicing the weight stack involves replacing the
two guide bushings and the weight insert in the
top weight. First, use a punch to drive the two
existing guide bushings and weight insert out of
the top weight.

7. To insert the new bushings and weight insert,
hold a bushing square to the face of one of the
holes in the top weight, place a protective piece
of wood on top of the bushing, and lightly tap the
bushing into place. The bushing should be flush
with the surface. Repeat with the other bushing
and weight insert.

R
holes. Tighten the set screws equally until they
contact the cable. Then, tighten each screw
alternately 1/4 turn, until all are set to 85
inch/pounds (9.6 Newton-meters).
10. Clean and lubricate the guide rods by wiping
them with a soft cloth containing a lightweight
motor oil, 10W-40 or 10W-30 weight. Apply only a
light coating over the entire length. Note: Do not
use TEFLON®or silicone-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. Pull the
handle, lifting the top weight all of the way to the
top. Slowly return the handle to the resting position. If the top weight sticks, loosen one of the
guide rod screws. Lift the top weight to the top
again. Retighten the guide rod bolt. Check the
full travel again and readjust the guide screws as
necessary.
14. While slowly pulling the handle, have someone
check the cable guard on the top weight to
ensure that it is not dragging or rubbing on the
cable.
15. Replace the tower cap and retighten the
wingnuts onto the bolts.
