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 warran-
y, use only FREEMOTION EPIC parts for repair or replacement. If there are any questions or concerns, see
t
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
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 each cable for proper tension (see CABLE
ADJUSTMENT on page 8).
2. Check the entire length of each cable by slowly
performing one repetition on the strength 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
a stretched cable sheath, showing a thinning

Cable Guards
Check the cable guards to ensure that they are not
ubbing against the cables and that they are holding

Grips
Check the grips and replace them if needed.
GUIDE ROD LUBRICATION
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
cables must be tensioned correctly. To check the tension of the cables, 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.
If there is too much tension on the cables, the top
weight will not rest on the second weight, and it may

3. If more slack is needed in the cable, move the
pulley downward in the bracket. If less slack is
needed in the cable, move the pulley upward.
4. Make sure that the cable guard is properly oriented (see CABLE GUARDS at the left) 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.
