INFORMATION
Links, Pull-Pins, Snap Hooks, Swivels, Weight Stack Pins:
• Check all pieces for signs of visible wear or damage.
• Check springs in snap hooks and pull-pins for proper tension and alignment.
• If the spring sticks or has lost its rigidity, replace it immediately.
Upholstery:
• To ensure prolonged upholstery life and proper hygiene, all upholstered pads should be wiped
down with a damp cloth after every workout.
• Periodically take the time to use a mild soap or an approved vinyl upholstery cleaner to deter the
onset of cracking or drying. Avoid using any abrasive cleaners or cleaners not intended for use on
vinyl.
• Replace ripped or warn upholstery immediately.
• Keep sharp or pointed objects clear of all upholstery.
Decals:
• Inspect and familiarize yourself with any safety warnings or other user information posted
on each unit.
Nuts and Bolts:
• Inspect all nuts and bolts for any loosening and tighten if needed.
• Go through a re-tightening sequence periodically to ensure that all hardware is tensioned properly.
Anti-Skid Surfaces:
• These surfaces are designed to supply secure footing and need to be replaced if they appear worn
or become slippery.
Belts and Cables:
• Visually inspect the belts and cables for fraying, cracking, peeling, or discoloration.
• While the machine is not in use, carefully run your fingers along the belt or cable to feel for
thinning or bulging areas.
• Replace belts and cables immediately at the first signs of damage or wear. Do not use equipment
until belts or cables have been replaced.
Belt and Cable Tension:
• Referring to the Owners Manual, when belts or cables are used check all bolts attachments to be
sure they are properly attached.
• Check slack in cables and re-adjust cable tension if needed.
Seat Sleeves, Guide Rods:
• Before applying lubricant, wipe down applicable parts with a dust free rag.
• Lubricate seat sleeves and Guide Rods with a Silicon or Teflon based lubricant spray.
Linear Bearings:
• Referring to the Owners Manual carefully disassemble the bearing from its housing and place a finger
full of light grease (lithium, super lube, etc.) into the inside of the bearing. Using your finger, press the
grease into the ball-bearings and their tracks. Repeat until the ball-bearing tracks are full of grease.
Insert the shaft back into the bearing and wipe off excess grease.
