WEEKLY
1. Hardware:
• Check all nuts and bolts. Tighten them as
required.
2. Cables:
• Check all cables for proper tension.
• Check the entire length of the cable by pulling
each handle individually to its fully extended
position and inspecting the cable that is
exposed on the exterior of the machine, as well
as the cable inside of 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.Curled or twisted sheath
D.Stretched cable sheath, showing a thin-
ning cross-section
MONTHLY OR AS REQUIRED

2. Pivoting Shafts:

on both ends of the shafts.
3. Weight Bars:
• Check to ensure that the bolts are tight and the
bars are secure.

CUSHION ATTACHMENT
Important: All FreeMotion Fitness™ cushions are
fabricated using dense plywood with tee-nuts installed
for bolting to the machine framework. Because these
tee-nuts are held by the plywood, they will not with-
stand the torque that standard nuts and bolts will.
Therefore, when tightening the cushion bolts, 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.
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 the 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 when one of
the handles is pulled. Ideally, the handle/cable
should not move more than 1/2" from its resting
position before the load arm begins to be lifted.
2. If there is too much or not enough tension in the
cable, adjust the cable as described in CABLE
ADJUSTMENTS, on page 9.
