TuffStuff Basic Strength Equipment Safety and General Maintenance

All TUFFSTUFF strength equipment is designed and manufactured to offer maximum, long-life service with minimal maintenance. However, safety inspection and routine maintenance in your facility should be the upmost importance in your daily operation. Information presented in these pages will serve as a basic guideline to design your own inspection procedures.

Part One: General Inspection and Cleaning

Equipment should be wiped down with a damp cloth and dried on a daily basis. The powder coat finish should be polished with a good car wax on a monthly basis. A daily wipe down of the upholstery with a lanolin based hand cleaner or Naugahyde Cleaner. Do not use cleaners such as Lysol or Windex as they will dry out and crack the vinyl. Lanolin hand cleaner dissolves the sweat and lubricates the vinyl, maintaining its natural flexibility. Sweat is corrosive and when left on the frame and components will eventually cause corrosion or rust. When performing these cleaning sessions, it is the perfect time to inspect the equipment and note any problems for the maintenance personnel to correct.

1.Check equipment if it is operating properly.

2.Check the cable for loose fittings or frayed cable and is seating properly on the pulleys and cams.

3.Make sure that the proper weight stack selector pin is with each machine and that the pin functions properly.

4.If something appears loose be sure to have it tightened immediately.

5.If a piece of equipment appears damaged or not operation properly, place the piece out-of-service immediately.

Part Two: Maintenance

In this paragraph, we will discuss the inspection of the cables, pulleys and their associated components. If there exists the potential for injury to occur on a machine, it will most likely lie in the cable system. It is important to inspect the cables frequently and let it be known to all users that it is their responsibility to report any worn-out cable to prevent a sudden failure that can result in an injury. Cables are moving parts, meaning cable-wear will occur regardless of the type or size used. In the advent of the 3/16” mill-spec cable this wear takes longer to become apparent and this is why frequent inspections are so important.

1.Check the cable termination at the weight stack. To perform any cable tension adjustment, loosen the hex jam nut and thread the hex tap bolt in or out to give cable the proper tension. Re-tightened the hex jam nut when adjustment is complete and make sure the hex tap bolt is threaded 1/2” into the socket of the selector bar top plate.

2.Check the cable as it terminates at the cam. Check the end fitting for any signs of fraying in this area. Inspect the bolt and nut and/or screw holding the fitting and be sure that it is tight.

3.Check the cables as it passes over all pulley wheels. Visually inspect the cables and pulleys. A cable that is wearing will exhibit a ballooned surface that passes over the pulley. This is and early warning sign to replace the cable.

Part Three: Lubrication

Bearing and linear bearings systems have advanced over the years but they must be maintained on a regular basis if you expect them to last and perform efficiently. TuffStuff uses only the highest quality bearings and linear motion components that are virtually trouble-free but requires the regular preventive maintenance to insure long-lasting performance.

1.Bronze and nylon bushings, we recommend on a monthly basis to spray a teflon-base lubricant (siliconefree) directly onto the shaft as it passes through these bushings. Spray a small amount onto the shaft and rotate it through its complete movement and wipe off any excess.

2.Weight stack guide rods and bushings, again use teflon spray lubricant and this time spray onto a rag and wipe the guide rods down with this rag on a weekly basis. Do not use WD-40 or other lubricants as they attract dirt and will crate a mess between the weight plates and bushings.

3.Sealed bearings pivot points, as the name implies are protected from the outside environment and require no lubrication. During the machine wipe down, wipe the external bearing surfaces with the damp rag and dried to prevent the build up of dust and sweat.

4.Linear bearing systems are precision, high load components that require regular maintenance. Dirt and corrosion are the major culprits in linear bearing failure. The hardened shafts must be wiped down weekly and lubricated with a light layer of teflon grease. We recommend a teflon-base (silicone-free) gel/grease for this purpose. Lack of care and maintenance will result in corrosion of the linear shaft causing the bearings to clogged and jammed.

If you religiously perform the maintenance procedures, you will increase the life of the machine and ultimately lower your maintenance costs with fewer replaced components and downtime.

Any doubts, equipment with mechanical problems should be placed “Out-of-Service” until all problems are corrected. If replacement parts are required or maintenance questions, please contact TuffStuff Service Department:
