MAINTENANCE AND TROUBLESHOOTING
For optimal performance of the strength equipment and to reduce the chances of injury to users, you must per-
form 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 warranty,
use only FREEMOTION parts for repair or replacement. If there are any questions or concerns, see 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 damp-
ened with clean water. Dry thoroughly.
Upholstery—Difficult Stains
1. Spray the stain with a non-abrasive household
cleaner such as FORMULA 409
®
cleaner, SIMPLE
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 damp-
ened with clean water. Dry thoroughly.
3. Repeat these steps, if necessary, using a soft-bris-
tle 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 damp-
ened with clean water. 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 clean-
ers and abrasives will damage decals; use caution
around decals. Do not use solvents such as lac-
quer thinner, kerosene, gasoline, or similar liquids.
WEEKLY MAINTENANCE
Hardware
Check all nuts and bolts, and tighten them if neces-
sary. IMPORTANT: All FREEMOTION 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.
