Before using your Total Gym1500 for your workout session, be sure to make the
following inspection:
•
Make sure the equipment is fully opened and sitting on a solid level surface with plenty
of clearance on all sides. Unit should be used on carpeted surfaces only.

Make sure all the hitch pins and the height adjustment “C” pin are securely in place
and locked into position.
•
Check that the pulley is attached securely to the hook on the front underside of the
glideboard.
•
Check that the cables are traveling correctly in the groove of each pulley.
•
Make sure the cable is securely fastened to each hand grip.
•
Check that the wing accessory is installed correctly when in use.
•
Make sure the glideboard is gliding smoothly along the frame.
ROUTINE MAINTENANCE
•
Wipe down your Total Gym1500 on a regular basis using a clean cloth and alcohol or
alcohol-based products like Windex
®
or 409
®
. Do not leave towels or workout clothing
laying or hanging on the equipment.
•
Periodically check the following parts for signs of fraying or other wear: the cable, the
pulleys, the wheels, the glideboard, the wing accessory and the frame. If a part needs
to be replaced, do not use the equipment until it is repaired.
•
Never use a lubricant such as WD-40
