MAINTENANCE
It is important for safe and trouble-free operation of your FreeMotion Fitness®strength equipment to perform
routine preventative maintenance on a regular basis. Make sure all parts are properly tightened each time the
strength machine is used. Replace any worn parts immediately. The strength machine 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 FreeMotion Fitness parts for repair or replacement to maintain your machine’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 nonabrasive household
cleanser such as FORMULA 409®cleaner, SIM-
PLE GREEN®, or a similar product.
• Rub the area gently and let it set for a few min-
utes.
• Rinse thoroughly with 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 damp-
ened 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 manu-
facturer of cleaning agent used. FreeMotion fit-
ness 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 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 com-
pounds. Follow manufacturer’s instructions.
5. Handles:
• Check all handle straps for wear.
• Visually check each strap along the full length
for signs of wear such as cuts, tears or nicks.
Replace the strap immediately if required.
• A “fuzz” on the strap will appear over time and is
not a concern unless it appears to be worn
through strands of the weave.
6. Straps with Rings:
• If a ring is pulling through the strap or tearing
away to the edge of the strap, replace the strap
immediately.
• Check stitching points on straps for tears, worn
spots or separation. Replace the strap if neces-
sary.

8
WEEKLY
1. Hardware: Check all nuts and bolts. Tighten as
required.
2. Cables: Check all cables.
• Check for proper tension.
• Check the entire length of cables by pulling
each handle individually to its fully extended
length and inspect the cable that is exposed on
the exterior of the machine, as well as inspect-
ing the cable inside the cut stack tower.
• Run your fingers along the cable paying close
attention at the bends and attachment points.
• Watch for the following conditions which may
indicate a worn cable in need of replacement:
A. Torn or split cable sheath that exposes the
cable
B. Kinked or severely bent cable
C.A curled or twisted sheath
D.A stretched cable sheath, showing a thin-
ning cross-section
MONTHLYOR AS REQUIRED
1. Grips: Check and replace as needed.
2. Pivoting Shafts: Check to ensure the retainer
rings are in place on both ends of the shafts.
3. Weight Bars: Check to ensure that the bolts are
tight and the bars are secure.
CUSHION ATTACHMENT
NOTE: All FreeMotion Fitness®cushions are fabricat-
ed using a dense plywood with a tee-nut installed for
bolting to the machine framework. Because these tee-
nuts are held by the plywood, they will not withstand
the torque that a standard nut and bolt will. Therefore,
when tightening the cushion bolts, turn until snug and
until the cushion does not move or feel loose.
Overtightening may strip the tee-nut from the plywood
and make it impossible to remove in the future.
CABLE TENSION CHECK
1. Slowly raise and lower the load arm by normal
machine use. The load arm should just come to
rest on the bumper when handle is returned to
the resting position.
• If there is too much tension in the cable, the
load arm will not seat on the bumper.
• If there is not enough tension in the cable, the
load arm will not lift immediately after pulling
one of the handles. Ideally the user
handle/cable should not move more than 1/2"
from its resting position before the load arm
begins to lift.
2. If there is too much or not enough tension in the
cable, adjust the cable as described in CABLE
ADJUSTMENTS, on page 9.

ADDITIONAL ADJUSTMENTS
Handle Ends Adjustment– All machines with a
strap and handle
Tools required: 1/8" Allen wrench, cable cutters,
utility knife
Note: Make this adjustment only if the pulley in the
center pulley bracket has been fully adjusted to the
top of the slot and the cable requires more tension.
Note: This adjustment is only for increasing the
cable tension because it requires shortening the
cable. One end is all that requires shortening.
1. Create slack in the cable by pulling the handle
out six to eight inches and propping the empty
load arm in the raised position.
2. Push the black rubber cover off the aluminum
coupler and slide the cover up the cable to con-
tact the pulley in the swivel arm.
3. Loosen the back of the four oval point, 1/4-20-
unc setscrews and pull the cable free.
4. Cut one inch off the cable end with cable cutters.
Note: Using any other tool may flatten or dis-
rupt the end strands so that it may be diffi-
cult to reinsert the cable into the hole of the
coupler.
5. Cut off one inch of the black outer sheath from
the end of the cable.
6. Reinsert the cable and sheath into the coupler
until all of the bare cable is in the hole.
7. Retighten the four setscrews into the threaded
holes. Tighten the setscrews equally until they
contact the cable. Then tighten each screw alter-
nately a 1/4 turn, until all are set to 85
inch/pounds.
8. Slide the black rubber cover over the coupler,
remove the prop and lower the load arm.
9. Check for proper cable tension as described in
CABLE TENSION CHECK, on page 8.
CABLE ADJUSTMENTS
CAUTION: After making any cable adjustment, pull
the handle using a light load and have someone make
sure that the cable is not derailed from a pulley or rub-
bing on a guard (see CABLE GUARD on page 10).
INITIAL ADJUSTMENT
Center Pulley Adjustment– All machines.
Tools required: 9/16"open or box-end wrench, 5/16"
Allen wrench
Note: This is the primary adjustment for all
machines. If this adjustment does not remove the
excess slack, refer to ADDITIONAL ADJUST-
MENTS.
1. Using a 5/16" Allen wrench and a 9/16" open or
box-end wrench, loosen the nut holding the pul-
ley on the center pulley bracket.
2. To increase the tension, slide the pulley upward
in the slot. (To loosen the cable, lower the pul-
ley.)
3. Tighten the nut and check the tension as
described in the CABLE TENSION CHECK, on
page 8. If necessary, readjust the pulley.

CABLE GUARDS
Check for alignment periodically to ensure that guards
are not dragging on the cable and that they are per-
forming their intended duty. If the alignment is not
proper, loosen the bolt slightly and readjust as neces-
sary.

ADJUSTMENT KNOB
If an adjustment knob sticks, it will need to be relubri-
cated. Disassemble the knob and apply a light coat-
ing 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

CABLE DIAGRAM
The cable diagram shows the proper routing of the
cable. Use the diagram to make sure that the cable
and the cable traps have been assembled correctly. If
the cable has not been correctly routed, the strength
machine will not function properly and damage may
occur. The numbers show the correct route for the
cable. Make sure that the cable traps do not touch
or bind the cable.
