Warning, Safety & Maintenance
15
Precision craftsmanship assures Body-Solid’s ability
to consistently deliver products of the highest stan-
dards. Our products have been carefully designed to
ensure safe, ecient long term operation.
However, it must be realized that safe use of this
equipment requires that owners carefully read and
follow the Body-Solid use recommendations, warn-
ings, and maintenance guidelines in this Owners
Manual.
Routine inspection and maintenance is of critical
importance to ensure maximum safety and perfor-
mance. Body-Solid uses the highest quality materials
available, but wear is inevitable. Therefore, you must
carefully inspect your equipment as outlined in the
Maintenance Schedule.
Be advised that dangerous conditions can arise even
during a warranty period. A warranty does not ne-
gate the owner’s responsibility to thoroughly, care-
fully and daily inspect the machine.
Including maintaining the equipment, the owner’s
responsibility is also to:
Be sure to always provide adequate supervision to all
end-users.
Be sure to instruct all end-users of proper usage.
Be sure all supervisors and personal trainers who
instruct end-users on equipment use are properly
trained and know the function and importance of
every adjustment and setting.
Also, be sure these trainers provide proper instruc-
tion to end-users on the fundamentals of strength
training.
CABLES:
While the machine is not in use, carefully run your
ngers along the cable to feel for thinning or bulg-
ing areas. Replace cables immediately at the rst
sign of damage or wear. Do not use the equipment
until the damaged cable has been replaced.
Visually inspect the cables for fraying, cracking,
peeling or discoloration.
Check slack in cables and re-adjust cable tension if
needed.
Check that the jam nut on the selector rod top bolt
is tight.
UPHOLSTERY:
Wipe down and sanitize after every workout.
Periodically take the time to use a mild soap or a
mild vinyl upholstery cleaner. Avoid using any abra-
sive cleaner not intended for use on vinyl.
Keep sharp or pointed objects out of your pockets
and clear of all upholstery.
NUTS/BOLTS/FASTENERS:
Periodically inspect all nuts and bolts. Tighten if
needed. If bolts seem to loosen periodically, use
Loctite 242 for a long-term cure.
Go through a re-tightening sequence periodically to
ensure that all hardware is properly tensioned.
GUIDE RODS:
Wipe clean with a dust free rag. Lubricate with a
Silicon or Teon based lubricant.
ADJUSTMENTS / LOCKING PINS /
TIGHTENING KNOBS:
Check all pieces for signs of visible wear or damage.
Check springs in Snap Links and Pop Pins for proper
tension and alignment.
If the spring sticks or has lost its rigidity, replace it
immediately.
ANTI-SKID SURFACES:
Replace if they appear worn or become slippery.
WARNING INSTRUCTION LABELS:
Inspect and familiarize yourself with all safety
warnings and other user information on decals.
