MAINTENANCE
It is important for safe and trouble-free operation of your EPIC STRENGTH strength equipment to perform rou-
tine preventative maintenance on a regular basis. Make sure that all parts are properly tightened each time the
exercise station is used. Replace any worn parts immediately. The exercise station can be cleaned with a damp
cloth and a mild, non-abrasive soap. Do not use solvents.
Note: Instruct all personnel to perform equipment inspection and maintenance requirements. Personnel must
record and report any accident. For any questions or concerns, see HOW TO CONTACT CUSTOMER CARE on
the back cover of this manual.
Use only original EPIC STRENGTH parts for repair or replacement to maintain your exercise station’s warranty.
FreeMotion Fitness recommends the following procedures:
SCHEDULED MAINTENANCE
DAILY
1. Upholstery—General cleaning:
•Wipe using a cloth dampened with a solution of
warm water and a mild soap.
•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 min-
utes.
•Rinse thoroughly using a cloth dampened with
clean water.
•Repeat if necessary using a soft bristle brush.
Optional method for difficult stains:
•Rub the area gently using a cloth dampened
with rubbing alcohol.
•Rinse thoroughly using a cloth dampened with
clean water 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 manu-
facturer of cleaning agent used. FreeMotion
Fitness and its vendors cannot be held liable for
damage or injuries resulting from the use or mis-
use of cleaning products.
3. Frames:
•Wipe with a cloth dampened with a solution of
warm water and a mild soap.
•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 lac-
quer thinner,kerosene, gasoline, or similar liquids.
WEEKLY
1. Hardware:
•Check all nuts and bolts. Tighten them as
required.
MONTHLY OR AS REQUIRED
1. Grips:
•Check and replace as needed.
CUSHION ATTACHMENT
Important: All EPIC STRENGTH cushions are fabri-
cated 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.
