WEEKLY
1. Hardware:
Check all nuts and bolts. Tighten as
required.
2. Cables:
Check all cables.
• Check for proper tension.
• Check the entire length of cables by pulling
each handle individually to its fully extended
length and inspect the cable that is exposed on
the exterior of the machine, as well as inspect-
ing the cable inside the cut stack tower.
• Run your fingers along the cable paying close
attention at the bends and attachment points.
• Watch for the following conditions which may
indicate a worn cable in need of replacement:
A. Torn or split cable sheath that exposes the
cable
B. Kinked or severely bent cable
C.A curled or twisted sheath
D.A stretched cable sheath, showing a thin-
ning cross-section
MONTHLY OR AS REQUIRED
1. Grips:
Check and replace as needed.
2. Pivoting Shafts:
Check to ensure the retainer
rings are in place on both ends of the shafts.
3. Weight Bars:
Check to ensure that the bolts are
tight and the bars are secure.
CUSHION ATTACHMENT
NOTE:
All FreeMotion
®
cushions are fabricated using
a dense plywood with a tee-nut installed for bolting to
the machine framework. Because these tee-nuts are
held by the plywood, they will not withstand the
torque that a standard nut and bolt will. Therefore,
when tightening the cushion bolts, turn until snug and
until the cushion does not move or feel loose.
Overtightening may strip the tee-nut from the plywood
and make it impossible to remove in the future.
CABLE TENSION CHECK
1. Slowly raise and lower the load arm by normal
machine use. The load arm should just come to
rest on the bumper when handle is returned to
the resting position.
• If there is too much tension in the cable, the
load arm will not seat on the bumper.
• If there is not enough tension in the cable, the
load arm will not lift immediately after pulling
one of the handles. Ideally the user
handle/cable should not move more than 1/2"
from its resting position before the load arm
begins to lift.
2. If there is too much or not enough tension in the
cable, adjust the cable as described in CABLE
ADJUSTMENTS, on page 9.
