MAINTENANCE AND TROUBLESHOOTING
For optimal performance of the strength equipment and to reduce the chances of injury to users, you must per-
form preventive maintenance on a regular basis. Instruct all personnel to perform the procedures described in
this section. Personnel must also record and report any accidents. To maintain the strength equipment’s warran-
ty, use only FREEMOTION EPIC parts for repair or replacement. If there are any questions or concerns, see
HOW TO CONTACT CUSTOMER CARE on the back cover of this manual.
DAILY MAINTENANCE
Upholstery and Frame—General Cleaning
1. Clean the strength equipment using a soft cloth
dampened with a light solution of mild soap and
warm water. If necessary, use a soft bristle brush
with the cleaning solution.
2. Rinse the area thoroughly using a soft cloth damp-
ened with clean water. Dry thoroughly.
Upholstery—Difficult Stains
1. Spray the stain with a non-abrasive household
cleaner such as FORMULA 409®cleaner, SIMPLE
GREEN®,or a similar product. Rub the stained
area gently and let the cleaning solution sit for a
few minutes.
2. Rinse the area thoroughly using a soft cloth damp-
ened with clean water.Dry thoroughly.
3. Repeat these steps if necessary using a soft bristle
brush.
Optional Method for Difficult Stains
1. Rub the stained area gently using a soft cloth
dampened with rubbing alcohol.
2. Rinse the area thoroughly using a soft cloth damp-
ened with clean water. Dry thoroughly.
CAUTION: When using any cleaning product, try it
first in an unnoticeable place to ensure that there is no
damage to the material. Follow the directions and the
safety precautions of the manufacturer of each clean-
ing product used. FreeMotion Fitness and its vendors
cannot be held liable for damage or injuries resulting
from the use or misuse of cleaning products.
Important: Do not use abrasive cleaners, which may
scratch the strength equipment. Strong cleaners and
abrasives will damage decals; use caution around
decals. Do not use solvents such as lacquer thinner,
kerosene, gasoline, or similar liquids.
WEEKLY MAINTENANCE
Hardware
Check all nuts and bolts and tighten them as required.
Important: All FREEMOTION EPIC cushions have
dense plywood supports with tee-nuts that are used to
bolt the cushions to the strength equipment. 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 8).
2. Check the entire length of each cable by slowly
performing one repetition on the strength equip-
ment; inspect the cable that is exposed on the
exterior of the strength equipment and the cable
inside the 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. atorn 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-
bing against the cables and that they are holding the
cables in the grooves of the pulleys. If a cable trap is
not correctly aligned, loosen the bolt slightly, readjust
the cable trap as necessary, and then 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.
CABLE ADJUSTMENT
For the strength equipment to function correctly, the
cable must be tensioned correctly. To check the ten-
sion of the cable, insert the weight pin into the top
weight. Next, slowly raise and lower the top weight by
performing one repetition. The top weight should
come to rest just on top of the next weight when the
repetition is completed.
If there is too much tension on the cable, the top
weight will not rest on the next weight, and it may be
difficult to insert the weight pin into the weights. If
there is not enough tension on the cable, the top
weight will not be lifted immediately when the repeti-
tion is begun. Ideally, the cable should not move more
than 1/2 in. (1.5 cm) from the resting position before
the top weight is lifted.
If there is too much tension or not enough tension on
the cable, adjust the cable as described in the follow-
ing steps.
Tower Pulley Adjustment
Tools required: 5/16" hex key, 9/16" open-end wrench
1. Lift the top weight off the
weight stack and insert the
weight pin into the next
weight and the sixth hole
from the top of the weight
selector.
2. Loosen the locknut attach-
ing the pulley to the bracket
in the top of the tower.
3. Move the pulley to the appropriate location in the
bracket. If more slack is needed in the cable,
move the pulley down. If less slack is needed in
the cable, move the pulley up.
4. Make sure that the cable trap is properly oriented
(see CABLE TRAPS at the left) and retighten the
locknut attaching the pulley to the bracket.
5. Lift the top weight and remove the weight pin.
Lower the top weight onto the next weight.
6. Readjust as necessary.
7. Slowly perform a repetition using a light load and
have someone make sure that the cable is not
derailed from a pulley or rubbing on a cable trap.

Top Weight Adjustment
Tools required: 5/32” hex key
1. If the cable needs to be shortened 3/4 in. (2 cm)
ormore, follow the instructions in steps 1 and 2
on page 8; then, go to step 2 below.
2. Lift the coupler cover from the top weight coupler.
Loosen but do not remove the two set screws in
each side of the weight coupler.
3. Pull the cable out of the top weight coupler.
Determine the amount that the cable needs to be
shortened, and cut that much off the end of the
cable. The cable must be long enough to be
held by the set screws without lifting the top
weight.
4. Cut the cable to the desired length and strip 1 in.
(2.5 cm) of the vinyl sheath from the cut end of
the cable.
5. Insert the cable into the top weight coupler until all
four set screws can be tightened against the
cable. Tighten each set screw alternately 1/4 turn,
until all are set to 150 inch/pounds (17 Newton-
meters).
6. Lower the coupler cover over the top weight cou-
pler.
7. Slowly perform a repetition using a light load and
have someone make sure that the cable is not
derailed from a pulley or rubbing on a cable trap.
Press Frame Pulley Adjustment

1. Lift the top weight off the
weight stack and insert the
weight pin into the next
weight and the sixth hole
from the top of the weight
selector.
2. Loosen, but do not remove, the indicated nut.
3. To remove slack from the cable, move the pulley
(not shown) to the top of the indicated slot.
Toadd slack to the cable, move the pulley (not
shown) to the bottom of the indicated slot.

WEIGHT STACK SERVICING
Servicing the weight stack involves replacing the two
guide bushings and the weight insert in the top weight.
Toorder these parts, see HOW TO CONTACT CUS-
TOMER CARE on the back cover of this manual.
1. Remove the wingnuts under the tower cap and
remove the tower cap from the tower.
2. Remove the nuts and washers from the tops of the
weight guides.
3. Lift the coupler cover on the end of the cable, and
loosen the four set screws—this will release the
cable.
4. Lift the weight guides out of the top of the tower.
5. Remove the nut, star washer, and washer from the
top of the weight selector. Lift and rotate the top
weight, and remove it through the front opening of
the tower.
6. Use a punch to drive the two existing guide bush-
ings and the weight insert out of the top weight.
7. Hold one of the new guide bushings square to the
face of one of the holes in the top weight, place a
protective piece of wood on top of the guide bush-
ing, and lightly tap the guide bushing until it is flush
with the surface. Insert the other guide bushing
and the weight insert in the same way.
8. Replace the top weight. Next, tighten the nut, star
washer, and washer onto the weight selector.
9. Reattach the cable to the top weight coupler.
Retighten the four set screws into the threaded
holes. Tighten the set screws equally until they
contact the cable. Then, tighten each screw alter-
nately 1/4 turn, until all are set to 150 inch/pounds
(17 Newton-meters).
10. Clean and lubricate the weight guides by wiping
them with a soft cloth containing a lightweight motor
oil, 10W-40 or 10W-30 weight. Apply only a light
coating over the entire length. Do not use
TEFLON®-based lubricants.
11. Reinsert the weight guides through the top of the
tower and into the weight stack. Note: If the weight
stack has shifted, use a short bar to realign the
holes in the weights. Hold the weights while insert-
ing the weight guides.
