written guidelines for preventative maintenance and keep written or online records of the maintenance performed on
these products. As a minimum, the items presented in the Safety Instructions section of this document and the items that

The following items are critical to the safety of users and maintenance staff as well as ensuring the optimum performance
of the machines. These inspections should be performed each day before the equipment is subject to use. TRUE Fitness is
not responsible for performing or scheduling regular maintenance or inspections.

,
and proper connection (as described in the cable inspection section below)
if equipped
.

WEEKLY INSPECTION & MAINTENANCE:
The following items are critical to the safety of users and maintenance staff as well as ensuring the optimum performance
of the machines. These inspections should be performed each week. TRUE Fitness is not responsible for performing or
scheduling regular maintenance or inspections.
•
Check entire length of cable & end fittings for any signs of wear
if equipped

Verify that
a
minimum of 1/2 inch (12.7mm) of the threaded portion of the cable bolt is threaded into the top
plate
and that the nut is tight
if equipped with a cable
. (See Cable Inspection & Maintenance Section).
•
Perform a function test by placing the selector pin in the
top plate
and
c
ycling the machine through the
intended
motion
if equipped with a cable
. Verify that the machine operates smoothly without binding. Select a moderate weight
and
repeat.

rotate will cause
extreme cable wear and could lead to cable failure. Determine cause and remedy immediately.

Verify that all hardware is tight and that associated frame members are secure. Apply a
few small drops of a
thread
locking compound such as Loctite on any loose bolts.
