General Inspection and Cleaning
The Frame 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 yearly basis. For Vinyl
Upholstery use Lanolin hand cleaner to dissolve sweat and lubricate the vinyl, maintain-
ing its natural flexibility. DO NOT use cleaners such as Lysol or Windex as they will dry
out and crack the vinyl. 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 to ensure it is operating properly.
2. Check the cables for loose fittings or frayed cable(s) and to ensure seating is
properly on the pulleys and cams (if equipped).
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 operating properly, place
the piece out-of-service immediately.
Maintenance
It is important to inspect the cables frequently, replace 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.
1. Inspect cable ends and perform any cable tension adjustments, loosen the
jam nut and thread the cable bolt in or out to give cable the proper tension.
Re-tightened all jam nuts when adjustment is complete and make sure the
cable bolt is threaded 1/3 into the socket of the selector stem in the top plate.
2. 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 pulleys. This is an early warning sign to replace the cable(s).
