Precision craftsmanship assures
our ability to consistently deliver products of the highest
standards. Our products have been carefully designed to
ensure safe, efficient long term operation. However, it
must be realized that safe use of this equipment requires
that owners carefully read and follow the manufacturers'
use recommendations, warnings, and maintenance guidelines.
Routine inspection and maintenance is of critical importance
to ensure maximum safety and performance. We use the highest
quality materials available, but wear is inevitable. Therefore,
you must carefully inspect your equipment as outlined in
the Maintenance Schedule. Be advised that dangerous conditions
can arise even during a warranty period. A warranty does
not negate the owner’s responsibility to thoroughly,
carefully and daily inspect the machine.
Including maintaining the equipment
the owner’s responsibility is also to:
- Be sure to always provide adequate
supervision to all end-users.
- Be sure to instruct all end-users
of proper usage.
- Be sure all supervisors and
personal trainers who instruct end-users on equipment
use are properly trained and know the function and importance
of every adjustment and setting. Also, be sure these trainers
provide proper instruction to end-users on the fundamentals
of strength training.
Cables
While the machine is
not in use. Carefully run your fingers along the cable to
feel for thinning or bulging areas. Replace cables immediately
at the first sign of damage or wear. Do not use equipment
until damaged cable has been replaced.
Visually inspect the cables for fraying, cracking, peeling
or discoloration.
Check slack in cables and re-adjust cable tension if needed.
Check that the jam nut on the selector rod top bolt is tight.
Upholstery
Wipe down after every workout.
Periodically take the time to use a mild soap or a mild
vinyl upholstery cleaner. Avoid using any abrasive cleaner
not intended for use on vinyl.
Keep sharp or pointed objects out of your pockets
and clear of all upholstery.
Nuts/Bolts/Fasteners
Periodically inspect all
nuts and bolts. Tighten if needed. If bolts seem to loosen
periodically, use Loctite 242 for a long-term cure.
Go through a re-tightening sequence periodically
to ensure that all hardware is properly tensioned.
Guide Rods
Wipe clean with a dust free rag. Lubricate with a Silicon
or Teflon based lubricant.
Adjustments
/ Locking Pins / Tightening Knobs
Check all pieces for signs
of visible wear or damage.
Check springs in Snap Links and Pop Pins for proper tension
and alignment.
If the spring sticks or has lost its rigidity, replace it
immediately.
Anti-Skid
Surfaces
Replace if they appear worn or become slippery.
