MAINTENANCE
It is important for safe and trouble-free operation of your EPIC STRENGTH
™
strength equipment to perform
routine 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. Contact FreeMotion Fitness Customer Service at 1-800-201-2109 with any
questions or concerns.
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
cloth dampened with clean water. 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-damp-
ened 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 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 each manu-
facturer of 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 these 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 cushion in the future.
