going over pulleys and to the end connections. Inspect the cable end fittings daily.
Replace all cables at first signs of wear. Use only Paramount supplied replacement
cables.
2. Nuts, Bolts, and Fasteners: Check tightness weekly. If any hardware has become
loose, retighten and/or use Loctite™Threadlocker 242.
3. Frames, Lifting Arms, and Catch Hooks: Inspect weekly for integrity and function.
Replace any component at first signs of wear.
4. DO NOT attempt to free any jammed assemblies by yourself as this may cause injury.
5. Review and understand all of the warning labels affixed to the machines and the
facility safety sign. Replace any warning label at first sign of wear. Labels and the Facility
Safety Sign may be obtained from Paramount free of charge. Stay clear of moving com-
ponents and do not wear loose or dangling clothing while exercising. Keep headset
cords close to the body and away from moving components.

MAINTENANCE
1. Frames: Wipe all machines down with a damp cloth and dry completely each day.
This includes painted, chrome parts and upholstered pads.
2. Painted/chrome parts: Use Simple Green or similar cleaner for light dirt and grime.
Use TurtleWax®Polishing Compound or a good car polish to remove heavier dirt and
grease as well as for polishing. DO NOT use solvents, lacquer thinner, acetone or finger
nail polish remover. For scuffs and marks that are not removed by the above methods
use a soft scrub cleanser.
3. Exercise instruction labels: Clean with soap and water as needed.
4. Linear bearing shafts: Wipe down linear rails using a light application of Mag-
nalube®lubricant or a similar teflon grease on a weekly basis to remove dust, hair, and
dirt.
5. Bronze bushings: Check monthly for signs of wear and replace as needed. Lubri-
cate monthly with Tri-FlowTM.
We recommend that you purchase the Paramount Performance Kit (P/N KIT-01) to main-
tain your Paramount products. This will insure that the proper maintenance materials
required will be used. Please refer to the General Maintenance Manual (p/n AM-GMM)
