MAINTENANCE

For safe and trouble-free operation of your EPIC STRENGTH™ strength bench, it is important to perform routine preventative maintenance on a regular basis. Make sure that all parts are properly tightened each time the strength bench is used. Replace any worn parts immediately. The strength bench 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 EPIC STRENGTH parts for repair or replacement to maintain your bench’s warranty.

FreeMotion Fitness recommends the following procedures:

SCHEDULED MAINTENANCE

DAILY

1. Upholstery—General cleaning:

• Wipe using a soft cloth dampened with a light solution of household dish detergent and warm water.

• If necessary, use a soft bristle brush with the cleaning solution.

• Always remove the cleaning solution using a cloth dampened with clean water. Rinse often.

2. Upholstery—Difficult stains:

• Spray the stain with a non-abrasive household cleaner such as FORMULA 409 ® cleaner,

SIMPLE GREEN ® , or a similar product.

• Rub the area gently and let it sit for a few minutes.

• Rinse thoroughly using a clean, water-dampened cloth.

• Repeat if necessary using a soft bristle brush.

Optional method for difficult stains:

• Rub the area gently using a soft cloth dampened with rubbing alcohol.

• Rinse thoroughly using a water-dampened cloth to remove alcohol residue.

CAUTION: 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 manufacturer of cleaning agent used. FreeMotion

Fitness and its vendors cannot be held liable for damage or injuries resulting from the use or misuse of cleaning products.

3. Frames:

• Wipe with a light solution of mild soap and warm water. Rinse and dry thoroughly.

Important: Do not use abrasive cleaners because they may scratch the equipment. Strong cleansers and abrasives will damage decals. Use 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 compounds. Follow manufacturers’ instructions.

WEEKLY

1. Hardware:

• Check all nuts and bolts. Tighten them as required.

2. Grips:

• Check and replace as needed.

ADJUSTMENT KNOB

If an adjustment knob sticks, it will need to be relubricated. 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 function properly, the spring may need to be replaced.

To order a new spring, refer to ORDERING

REPLACEMENT PARTS on the back cover of this manual.

CUSHION ATTACHMENT

Important: All EPIC STRENGTH™ cushions are fabricated using dense plywood with tee-nuts installed for bolting to the machine framework. Because these tee-nuts are held by the plywood, they will not withstand the torque that standard nuts and bolts will.

Therefore, when tightening the cushion bolts, 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.
