MAINTENANCE AND TROUBLESHOOTING
For optimal performance of the strength equipment and to reduce the chances of injury to users, you must per-
form 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 strength equipment’s warran-
ty, use only FREEMOTION EPIC 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 strength equipment using a soft cloth
dampened 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 and 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 and dry thoroughly.
3. Repeat these steps if necessary using a soft bristle
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 and 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.
Important: Do not use abrasive cleaners, which may
scratch the strength equipment. Strong cleaners and
abrasives will damage decals; use caution around
decals. Do not use solvents such as lacquer thinner,
kerosene, gasoline, or similar liquids.
WEEKLY MAINTENANCE
Hardware
Check all nuts and bolts and tighten them as required.
Important: All FREEMOTION EPIC cushions have
dense plywood supports with tee-nuts that are used to
bolt the cushions to the strength equipment. 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 plywood and make it impossible to
remove the cushion in the future.
Grips
Check the grips and replace them if needed.
Adjustment Knob
If an adjustment knob sticks, it will need to be relubri-
cated. Disassemble the knob and apply a light coating
of lithium grease. Reassemble the knob as shown in
the diagram. If the adjustment knob still does not func-
tion 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.
