follow here, should be included in your maintenance program.
IMPORTANT
: Always purchase replacement parts from TRUE Fitness. Parts are tested and manufactured specifically for
TRUE Fitness equipment. Use of unapproved parts may cause serious injury and/or void the limited warranty.
DAILY INSPECTION & MAINTENANCE:
The following items are critical to the safety of users and maintenance staff as well as to ensure the optimum performance
of the machines. These inspections should be performed each day before the equipment is subject to use. TRUE Fitness is
not responsible for performing or scheduling regular maintenance or inspections.
•
Inspect cables for wear, tension and proper connection (as described in the cable inspection section below).
•
Inspect all adjustment pins, weight stack pins, set screws, gas shocks, snap links, and pulleys.
•
Inspect all safety and instructional decals.
•
Inspect all weight stack shields.
•
Verify that rubber hand grips are intact and secure.
•
Verify that anti-skid foot grips are intact and secure
•
Verify that the weight stack selector pin is attached with the coiled lanyard to the top plate.
WEEKLY INSPECTION & MAINTENANCE:
The following items are critical to the safety of users and maintenance staff as well as ensuring the optimum performance
of the machines. These inspections should be performed each week. TRUE Fitness is not responsible for performing or
scheduling regular maintenance or inspections.
•
Check entire length of cable & end fittings for any signs of wear. Replace immediately as required. (Refer to Daily
Maintenance Section).
•
Verify that A minimum of 1/2 inch (12.7mm) of the threaded portion of the cable bolt is threaded into the top
plate and that the nut is tight. (See Cable Inspection & Maintenance Section).
•
Perform a function test by placing the selector pin in the TOP PLATE and Cycling the machine through the
intended motion. Verify that the machine operates smoothly without binding. Select a moderate weight and
repeat.
•
Verify that each pulley rotates freely when performing the exercise. A pulley that does not rotate will cause
extreme cable wear and could lead to cable failure. Determine cause of the pulley issue and remedy immediately.
•
Verify that the adjustment pop pins retract easily and fully engage (when released) into each adjustment disc
hole/slot. The pop pins are spring loaded so they should return to the engaged position when you release the
knob.
•
Verify that all hardware (nuts/bolts and fasteners) is tight and that associated frame members are secure. Apply a
few small drops of a thread locking compound such as Loctite on any loose bolts.
•
Inspect frame for integrity and function. Replace any components at the first sign of wear with only TRUE
supplied parts.
