MAINTENANCE
It is important for safe and trouble-free operation of your FreeMotion Fitness
®
strength equipment to perform
routine preventative maintenance on a regular basis. Make sure that all parts are properly tightened each time
the strength machine is used. Replace any worn parts immediately. The strength machine 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. Contact FreeMotion Fitness Customer Service at 1-800-201-2109 with any
questions or concerns.
Use only original FreeMotion Fitness parts for repair or replacement to maintain your machine’s warranty.
FreeMotion Fitness recommends the following procedures:

utes.

When using any cleaning product, try
it first in an inconspicuous place to ensure there
is no damage to the material. Follow directions

facturer of cleaning agent used. FreeMotion

use of cleaning products.
