PREVENTATIVE MAINTENANCE
Preventative maintenance is crucial to maintaining the function and safety of this equipment. Your facility must establish
written guidelines for preventative maintenance and keep written or online records of the maintenance performed on these
products. As a minimum, the items presented in the Safety Instructions section of this document and the items that follow
here, should be included in your maintenance program.
IMPORTANT! Always purchase replacement parts from TRUE. Many parts are tested and manufactured specifi cally for
TRUE equipment. Use of unapproved parts may cause serious injury and/or void the limited warranty.
DAILY INSPECTION AND MAINTENANCE
The following items are critical to the safety of users and maintenance staff as well as ensuring the optimum performance
of the machines. These inspections should be performed each day before the equipment is subject to use. TRUE is not
responsible for performing or scheduling regular maintenance or inspections.
•
Inspect cables for wear, tension, and proper connection if equipped. (See cable inspection and maintenance.)
•
Inspect all adjustment pins, weight stack pins, set screws, gas shocks, snap links, and pulleys if equipped.
•
Inspect all safety and instructional decals.
•
Inspect all weight stack shields if equipped.
•
Verify that rubber hand grips are intact and secure.
•
Verify that anti-skid foot grips are intact and secure.
•
Verify that the weight stack selector pin is attached with the coiled lanyard to the top plate if equipped. (See weight
stack selector pin inspection.)
WEEKLY INSPECTION AND MAINTENANCE
The following items are critical to the safety of users and maintenance staff as well as ensuring the optimum performance
of the machines. These inspections should be performed each week. TRUE is not responsible for performing or
scheduling regular maintenance or inspections.
•
Check entire length of cable and end fi ttings for any signs of wear if equipped. (See cable inspection and
maintenance.) Replace immediately as required.
•
Verify that a minimum of ¹⁄ " (12.7mm) of the threaded portion of the cable bolt is threaded into the top plate and that
the nut is tight if equipped with a cable. (See cable inspection and maintenance.)
•
Perform a function test by placing the selector pin in the top plate and cycling the machine through the intended
motion if equipped with a cable. Verify that the machine operates smoothly without binding. Select a moderate weight
and repeat. (See weight stack selector pin inspection.)
•
Verify that each pulley rotates freely when performing the exercise if equipped with pulleys. A pulley that does not
rotate will cause extreme cable wear and could lead to cable failure. Determine cause and remedy immediately.
•
Verify that the adjustment pop pins retract easily and fully engage (when released) into each adjustment disc hole/slot.
The pop pins are spring loaded so they should return to the engaged position when you release the knob.
•
Verify that the adjustment pin disengages and engages freely when actuating the adjustment mechanism. Be sure that
the adjustment pin inserts fully into the adjustment disc.
•
Verify that all hardware is tight and that associated frame members are secure. Apply a few small drops of a thread
locking compound such as Loctite on any loose bolts.
•
Inspect frame for integrity and function. Replace any components at the fi rst sign of wear with only TRUE supplied
parts.
