MAINTENANCE AND TROUBLESHOOTING
For optimal performance of the exercise rack and to reduce the chances of injury to users, you must perform
preventive maintenance on a regular basis. Instruct all personnel to perform the procedures described in this
section. Personnel must also record and report any accident. To maintain the exercise rackʼs warranty, use only
FREEMOTION parts for repair or replacement. If there are any questions or concerns, see HOW TO CONTACT
CUSTOMER CARE on the back cover of this manual.
DAILY MAINTENANCE
Upholstery and Frame—General Cleaning
1. Clean the exercise rack using a soft cloth damp-
ened with a light solution of mild soap and warm
water. If necessary, use a soft bristle brush with
the cleaning solution.
2. Rinse the area thoroughly using a soft cloth damp-
ened with clean water. Dry thoroughly.
Upholstery—Difficult Stains
1. Spray the stain with a non-abrasive household
cleaner such as FORMULA 409
®
cleaner, SIMPLE
GREEN
®
, or a similar product. Rub the stained
area gently and let the cleaning solution sit for a
few minutes.
2. Rinse the area thoroughly using a soft cloth damp-
ened with clean water. Dry thoroughly.
3. Repeat these steps, if necessary, using a soft-bris-
tle brush.
Optional Method for Difficult Stains
1. Rub the stained area gently using a soft cloth
dampened with rubbing alcohol.
2. Rinse the area thoroughly using a soft cloth damp-
ened with clean water. Dry thoroughly.
CAUTION:
When using any cleaning product, try it
first in an unnoticeable place to ensure that there is no
damage to the material. Follow the directions and the
safety precautions of the manufacturer of each clean-
ing product used. FreeMotion Fitness and its vendors
cannot be held liable for damage or injuries resulting
from the use or misuse of cleaning products.
IMPOR-
TANT: Do not use abrasive cleaners, which may
scratch the exercise rack. Strong cleaners and
abrasives will damage decals; use caution around
decals. Do not use solvents such as lacquer thin-
ner, kerosene, gasoline, or similar liquids.
WEEKLY MAINTENANCE
Hardware
Check all nuts and bolts, and tighten them if necessary.
IMPORTANT: All FREEMOTION cushions have
dense plywood supports with tee-nuts that are
used to bolt the cushions to the exercise rack.
Because the tee-nuts are held by the plywood,
they will not withstand 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 ply-
wood and make it impossible to remove the
cushion in the future.
Wheels
The wheels should roll easily. Tighten or replace the
wheels if necessary.
Adjustment Knob
If an adjustment knob sticks, it will need to be relubri-
cated. Unscrew the knob and apply a light coating of
lithium grease. Reassemble the knob as shown in the
drawing below. If the adjustment knob still does not
function properly, the spring may need to be replaced.
To order a new spring, see HOW TO CONTACT CUS-
TOMER CARE on the back cover of this manual.
