WEEKLY MAINTENANCE
Hardware
Check all nuts and bolts and tighten them as required.
Important:
All FREEMOTION cushions have dense
plywood supports with tee-nuts that are used to bolt
the cushions to the strength machine. Because the
tee-nuts are held by the plywood, they will not with-
stand 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.
Cables
1. Check each cable for proper tension (see CABLE
ADJUSTMENT on page 9).
2. Check the entire length of each cable by slowly
performing one repetition on the strength machine;
inspect the cable that is exposed on the exterior of
the strength machine and the cable inside the
tower. Run your fingers along the cable, paying
close attention at the bends and attachment points.
Watch for the following conditions, which may indi-
cate a worn cable in need of replacement:
A. a torn or split cable sheath that exposes the
cable
B. a kinked or severely bent cable
C. a curled or twisted sheath
D. a stretched cable sheath, showing a thinning
cross-section
Cable Guards
Check the cable guards to ensure that they are not
rubbing against the cables and that they are holding
the cables in the grooves of the pulleys. If a cable
guard is not correctly aligned, loosen the bolt slightly,
readjust the cable guard as necessary, and retighten
the bolt.
MONTHLY MAINTENANCE
Grips
Check the grips and replace them if needed.
Guide Rod Lubrication
Clean and lubricate the full length of each guide rod
by wiping it with a soft cloth containing a lightweight
motor oil, 10W-40 or 10W-30 weight. Apply only a
light coating over the entire length of the guide rod.
Do not use TEFLON
®
or silicone-based lubricants.
