Precision craftsmanship assures Body-Solid’s 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 Body-Solid
use recommendations, warnings, and maintenance guidelines
in this Owners Manual.
Routine inspection and maintenance is of critical importance to
ensure the maximum safety and performance of the G2B.
Body-Solid uses the highest quality materials available, but wear
is inevitable. Therefore, you must carefully inspect your
equipment as outlined in the Maintenance Schedule on the next
page.
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 maintaning 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. See pages 38-39.
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.
