MAINTENANCE
It is important for safe and trouble-free operation of your EPIC STRENGTH
™
strength equipment to perform rou-
tine preventative maintenance on a regular basis. Make sure that all parts are properly tightened each time the
strength bench is used. Replace any worn parts immediately. The strength bench can be cleaned with a damp cloth
and a mild, non-abrasive detergent. Do not use solvents.
Note:
Instruct all personnel to perform equipment inspection and maintenance requirements. Personnel must
record and report any accident. For any questions or concerns, see HOW TO CONTACT CUSTOMER CARE on
the back cover of this manual.
Use only original EPIC STRENGTH parts for repair or replacement to maintain your bench’s warranty.
FreeMotion Fitness recommends the following procedures:
SCHEDULED MAINTENANCE
DAILY
1. Upholstery—General cleaning:
• Wipe using a soft cloth dampened with a light
solution of household dish detergent and warm
water.
• If necessary, use a soft bristle brush with the
cleaning solution.
• Always remove the cleaning solution using a
clean, water-dampened cloth. Rinse often.
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 clean, water-dampened
cloth.
• 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 clean, water-dampened
cloth to remove alcohol residue.
CAUTION:
When using any cleaning product, try
it first in an inconspicuous place to ensure there
is no damage to the material. Follow directions
and adhere to safety precautions of the manufac-
turer of each cleaning agent used. FreeMotion
Fitness and its vendors cannot be held liable for
damage or injuries resulting from the use or mis-
use of cleaning products.
3. Frames:
• Wipe with a light solution of mild soap and warm
water. Rinse and dry thoroughly.
Important:
Do not use abrasive cleaners
because they may scratch the equipment. Strong
cleansers 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.
CUSHION ATTACHMENT
Important:
All EPIC STRENGTH cushions are fabri-
cated using dense plywood with tee-nuts installed for
bolting to the machine framework. Because the 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 cush-
ion in the future.
