CABLE GUARDS
Check for alignment periodically to ensure that cable
guards are not rubbing on the cable and that they are
performing their intended duty. If the alignment is not
proper, loosen the bolt slightly, readjust the cable
guard as necessary, and retighten the bolt.

MONTHLY
1. Grips:
• Check and replace as needed.
YEARLY OR AS REQUIRED
1. Weight Stack Guide Rods:
• Clean and lubricate the full length by wiping
using a soft cloth containing a lightweight
motor oil; 10W-40 or 10W-30 weight. Only a
light coating over the entire length is needed.
Note: Do not use TEFLON
®
or silicone-
based lubricants.
CABLE TENSION CHECK
1. Insert the weight pin into the top weight plate.
2. 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
leg lever 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
the leg lever is lifted. Ideally, the leg lever/cable
should not move more than 1.5 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.

DAILY
1. Upholstery—General cleaning:
• Wipe 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.
• Rinse thoroughly using a soft cloth dampened
with clean water and dry thoroughly.
2. Upholstery—Difficult stains:
• Spray the stain with a non-abrasive household
cleaner such as FORMULA 409 ® cleaner,
SIMPLE GREEN ® , or a similar product.
• Rub the area gently and let it sit for a few min-
utes.
• Rinse thoroughly using a soft cloth dampened
with clean water and dry thoroughly.
• Repeat if necessary using a soft bristle brush.
Optional method for difficult stains:
• Rub the area gently using a soft cloth damp-
ened with rubbing alcohol.
• Rinse thoroughly using a soft cloth dampened
with clean water and dry thoroughly.
CAUTION: When using any cleaning product, try
it first in an inconspicuous place to ensure that
there is no damage to the material. Follow the
directions and adhere to 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.
3. Frames:
• Wipe using a soft cloth dampened with a light
solution of mild soap and warm water. Rinse
thoroughly using a soft cloth dampened with
clean water and dry thoroughly.
Important: Do not use abrasive cleaners
because they may scratch the equipment. Strong
cleaners and abrasives will damage decals. Use
caution around decals. Do not use solvents such
as lacquer thinner, kerosene, gasoline, or similar
liquids.
WEEKLY
1. Hardware:
• Check all nuts and bolts. Tighten them as
required.
Important:
All FREEMOTION EPIC
cushions are fabricated using dense plywood
with tee-nuts installed for bolting to the machine
framework. Because these tee-nuts are held by
the plywood, they will not withstand the torque
that standard nuts and bolts will. Therefore,
when 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.
2. Cables:
• Check the cable for proper tension.
• Check the entire length of the 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 cut stack tower.
• Run your fingers along the cable, paying close
attention at the bends and attachment points.
• Watch for the following conditions, which may
indicate a worn cable in need of replacement:
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
MAINTENANCE
It is important for safe and trouble-free operation of your FREEMOTION EPIC strength equipment to perform
routine preventive maintenance on a regular basis. Instruct all personnel to perform equipment inspection and
maintenance requirements. Personnel must record and report any accident. To maintain the strength equipment’s
warranty, use only FREEMOTION EPIC 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.
