GENERAL MAINTENANCE INFORMATION
Warning: DO NOT place styrofoam or printed materials on the
orthopedic seat pads. Over time, these may stick to the pads and
mar the surface.
Do not leave items sitting on the orthopedic seat pads, these pads
have a special density that takes shape to objects and small objects
will leave imprints in the surface that may take time to come out.
• Periodically inspect the cables for splitting, cracking or fraying. Also,
watch for bulging or flat areas in the cable.
• Immediately replace cables at the first signs of damage or wear. Never
use equipment with damaged or worn cables.
• Cables naturally stretch over time, so check cable slack periodically and
adjust cable tension as needed.
• Regularly inspect product for loose hardware.
• Do not use or store equipment outdoors.
• Inspect snap links, swivels, handles and weight stack pin for wear or
damage. If wear or damage exists, replace immediately.
• Locate and familiarize yourself with all warning decals on the home gym.
