WEEKLY MAINTENANCE
H
ardware
Check all nuts and bolts and tighten them as
r
equired.
I
mportant:
A
ll FREEMOTION cushions have
dense plywood supports with tee-nuts that are used
to bolt the cushions to the strength machine. 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.
Cables
1. Check each cable for proper tension (see CABLE
ADJUSTMENT on page 9).
2. Check the entire length of each cable by slowly
performing one repetition on the strength
machine; inspect the cable that is exposed on the
exterior of the strength machine and the cable
inside the tower. Run your fingers along the cable,
paying close attention at the bends and attach-
ment points. Watch for the following conditions,
which may indicate a worn cable in need of
replacement:
A. a torn or split cable sheath that exposes the
cable
B. a kinked or severely bent cable
C. a curled or twisted sheath
D. a stretched cable sheath, showing a thinning
cross-section
Cable Traps
Check the cable traps to ensure that they are not rub-
b
ing against the cables and that they are holding the
cables in the grooves of the pulleys. If a cable trap is
n
ot correctly aligned, loosen the bolt slightly, readjust
the cable trap as necessary, and retighten the bolt.
MONTHLY MAINTENANCE
Grips
Check the grips and replace them if needed.
WEIGHT GUIDE LUBRICATION
Clean and lubricate the full length of each weight
guide by wiping it with a soft cloth containing a light-
weight motor oil, 10W-40 or 10W-30 weight. Apply
only a light coating over the entire length of the
weight guide.
Do not use TEFLON
®
-based lubri-
cants.
