MAINTENANCE
It is important for safe and trouble-free operation of your FreeMotion Fitness
®
strength equipment to perform
routine preventative maintenance on a regular basis. Make sure all parts are properly tightened each time the
strength machine is used. Replace any worn parts immediately. The strength machine 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 FreeMotion Fitness parts for repair or replacement to maintain your machine’s warranty.

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

use of cleaning products.
3. Frames:

caution around decals. Do not use solvents such
as lacquer thinner, kerosene, gasoline or similar
liquids.
4. Stainless Steel Covers:
• Wipe with a light solution of mild soap and warm
water. Rinse and dry thoroughly.
• If desired, or to remove corrosion, use available
commercial stainless steel polishing com-
pounds. Follow manufacturer’s instructions.
5. Handles:
• Check all handle straps for wear.
• Visually check each strap along the full length
for signs of wear such as cuts, tears or nicks.
Replace immediately if required.
• A “fuzz” on the strap will appear over time and is
not a concern unless it appears to be worn
through strands of the weave.
6. Straps with Rings:
• If a ring is pulling through the strap or tearing
away from the edge of the strap, replace the
strap immediately.
• Check stitching points on straps for tears, worn
spots or separation. Replace if necessary as
required.
