MAINTENANCE

For safe and trouble-free operation of your FreeMotion Fitness®strength equipment, it is important to perform routine prev entative ma intenance on a regular basis. Make sure that all parts are properly tightened each time the strength machine is used. Replace any worn parts immediately. The strength machine can be cleaned with a damp cloth and a mild, non-abrasive detergent. Do not use solvents.

Note: Instruct all personnel to perform equipment inspection and maintenance requirements. Personnel must record and report any accident. For any questions or concerns, see HOW TO CONTACT CUSTOMER CARE on the back cover of this manual.

Use only original FreeMotion Fitness parts for repair or replacement to maintain your machine’s warranty.

FreeMotion Fitness recommends the following procedures:

SCHEDULED MAINTENANCE

DAILY

1. Upholstery—General cleaning:

• Wipe using a soft cloth dampened with a light solution of household dish detergent and warm water.

• If necessary, use a soft bristle brush with the cleaning solution.

• Always remove the cleaning solution using a cloth dampened with clean water. Rinse often.

2. Upholstery—Difficult stains:

• Spray the stain with a non-abrasive household cleaner such as FORMULA 409®cleaner or a similar product.

• Rub the area gently and let it sit for a few minutes.

• Rinse thoroughly using a clean, water-dampened cloth.

• 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 water-dampened cloth to remove alcohol residue.

CAUTION: When using any cleaning product, try it first in an inconspicuous place to ensure there is no damage to the material. Follow directions and adhere to the safety precautions of the manu

facturer of each cleaning agent used. FreeMotion Fitness and its vendors cannot be held liable for damage or injuries resulting from the use or mis

use of cleaning products.

3. Towers and Frames:

• Wipe with a light solution of mild soap and warm water. Rinse and dry thoroughly.

Important: Do not use abrasive cleaners, because they may scratch the equipment. Strong cleansers and abrasives will damage decals. Use caution around decals. Do not use solvents such as lacquer thinner, kerosene, gasoline, or similar liquids.

4. Stainless Steel Covers:

• Wipe with a light solution of mild soap and warm water. Rinse and dry thoroughly.

• If desired, or to remove corrosion, use available commercial stainless steel polishing compounds. Follow manufacturers’ instructions.

Handles:

• Check all handle straps for wear.

• Visually check each strap along the full length for signs of wear such as cuts, tears, or nicks. Replace the strap immediately if necessary.

• A “fuzz” will appear on straps over time and is not a concern unless it appears to be worn through strands of the weave.

Straps with rings:

•

If a ring is pulling through a strap or tearing away at the edge of the strap, replace the strap immediately

•

Check stitching points on straps for tears, worn spots, or separation. Replace the strap if necessary.

CABLE GUARDS

Periodically check the alignment of the cable guards to ensure that they are not dragging on the cable and t

hat they are performing their intended function. If the cable guards are not aligned correctly, loosen the bolts s

lightly and adjust the cable guards as necessary.

SERVICING THE WEIGHT STACK

For required parts, see HOW TO CONTACT CUSTOMER CARE on the back cover of this manual.

1. Remove the access cover by pulling it free at the bottom and then sliding it up until the two sets of tabs release.

2. Loosen the top bolt or nuts on each guide rod. Remove the bolts or nuts and let the guide rods slide down to the floor.

3. To remove the top weight, first unbolt the pulley(s) to release the cable using a 5/16" hex wrench and a 9/16" open-end wrench.

4. Slide the top weight off the top of the guide rods. Note: Pull the guide rods toward the back of the machine for increased clearance.

. Servicing the weight stack involves replacing the

three bushings in the top weight. First, use a punch to drive the three existing bushings out of the top weight.

6. To insert the new bushings, hold each 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 bushings should be flush with the surface. Note: There are two sizes of bushings. The slightly larger bushing is for the single hole in the top weight; the smaller bushings are for the top and bottom of the cylindrical standoff.

7. Clean and lubricate the guide rods by wiping them using a soft cloth containing automotive engine oil. Apply only a light coating over the entire length.

8. Replace the top weight on the guide rods. Bolt the pulley, cable, and cable guards back into place.

9. Reattach the guide rods to the top of the frame.

10. Insert the weight pin in 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 bolts or nuts. Lift the top weight to the top again. Retighten the guide rod bolt or nuts. Check the full travel again and readjust the guide rods if necessary.

11. While slowly pulling the handle, have someone

check the top weight pulley guard to ensure that it is not dragging or rubbing on the cable.

12. Replace the access cover.

WEEKLY

1. Hardware:

• Check all nuts and bolts. Tighten them as required.

2. Cables:

• Check all cables for proper tension.

• Check the entire length of each 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 tower.

• Run your fingers along each cable, paying close attention to the bends and attachment points.

• Watch for the following conditions that may indicate a worn cable in need of replacement (see the drawings below):

A.Torn or split cable sheath that exposes the

cable B. Kinked or severely bent cable C.Curled or twisted sheath D.Stretched cable sheath, showing a thinning

cross-section

MONTHLY OR AS REQUIRED

1. Grips:

• Check all grips and replace them as needed.

2. Weight stack guide rods:

• Clean and lubricate the full length by wiping using a soft cloth containing automotive engine oil. Only a light coating over the entire length is needed.

CUSHION ATTACHMENT

Important: All FreeMotion Fitness®cushions are fabri-

ated using dense plywood with tee-nuts installed for bolting to the machine framework. Because these teenuts are held by the plywood, they will not withstand the torque that standard nuts and bolts will. Therefore, w

hen 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.

CABLE TENSION CHECK

1. Insert the weight pin into the top weight plate.

Slowly raise and lower the top weight by normal machine use. The top weight should come to rest just on top of the second weight when the handle is returned to the resting position.

• 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 one of the handles is pulled. Ideally, the handle/cable should not move more than 1.3 cm (1/2 in.) 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 on page 9.

ADJUSTMENT KNOB

If an adjustment knob sticks, it will need to be relubricated. Disassemble the knob and apply a light coating of lithium grease. Reassemble the knob as shown in the diagram. If the adjustment knob still does not function properly, the spring may need to be replaced. To order a new spring, see HOW TO CONTACT CUSTOMER CARE on the back cover of this manual.

CABLE ADJUSTMENTS

AUTION:After making any cable adjustment, pull the

handle using a light load and have someone make sure that the cable is not derailed from a pulley or rubbing on a guard (see CABLE GUARDS on page 10).

INITIAL ADJUSTMENT

Top Weight Pulley Adjustment—All machines.

Tools required: 9/16" open or box-end wrench, 5/16" Allen wrench

Note: This is the primary adjustment for all machines. If this adjustment does not remove the excess slack, see ADDITIONAL ADJUSTMENTS at the right.

1. Remove the access cover by pulling it free at the bottom and then sliding it up until the two sets of tabs release.

2. Using a 5/16" Allen wrench and a 9/16" open or box-end wrench, loosen the nut holding the pulley in the bracket on the top weight.

3. To increase the tension, slide the pulley down in the slot. To decrease the tension, slide the pulley up.

4. Tighten the nut and check the tension as described in CABLE TENSION CHECK

on page

8. If necessary

, readjust the pulley

5. Replace the access cover.

ADDITIONAL ADJUSTMENTS

Handle End Adjustment—All machines with a

strap and handle. Tools required: 1/8" Allen wrench, cable cutters, utility knife, torque wrench

Note: Make this adjustment only if the pulley in the top weight has been fully adjusted to the bottom of the slot and the cable requires more tension.

Note: This adjustment is only for increasing the cable tension because it requires shortening the cable. Only one end of the cable should be shortened.

1. Create slack in the cable by removing the weight pin and pulling the handle out 15–20 cm (6–8 in.). Insert the weight pin into the third weight plate and the tube on the bottom of the top weight.

2. Push the black rubber cover off the aluminum coupler and slide the cover up the cable to contact the pulley in the swivel arm.

3. Loosen the four oval-point, 1/4-20-unc set screws in the coupler and pull the cable free.

4. Cut off 2.5 cm (1 in.) of the cable end using cable cutters.

Note: Using any other tool may flatten or disrupt the end strands so that it may be difficult to reinsert the cable into the hole of the coupler.

5. Cut off 2.5 cm (1 in.) of the black cable sheath from the end of the cable.

6. Reinsert the cable and the sheath into the coupler so that all of the bare cable is in the hole.

7. Retighten the four set screws into the threaded 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).

8. Slide the rubber cover over the coupler, remove the weight pin, and lower the handle.

9. Check for proper tension on the cable as described in CABLE TENSION CHECK on page 8.
