TROUBLESHOOTING
If the above troubleshooting section does not remedy the problem, discontinue use, and
CONTACT SEARS FOR SERVICE AT 1-00--MY-HOME ® .
The following information may be asked of you when you call. Please have these items readily available:
• Model Name
• Serial Number
• Date of Purchase (receipt or credit card statement)
In order for a technician to service your home gym they may need to ask detailed questions about the symptoms that are occurring.
Some troubleshooting questions that may be asked are:
• How long has this problem been occurring?
• Does this problem occur with every use? With every user?
• If you are hearing a noise, does it come from the front or the back? What kind of noise is it (thumping, grinding, squeaking,
chirping etc.)?
• Has the machine been lubricated and maintained per the maintenance schedule?
Answering these and other questions will give the technicians the ability to send proper replacement parts and the service necessary
to get you and your Horizon Fitness home gym functioning again!
MAINTENANCE
Cleanliness of your home gym and its operation environment will keep maintenance problems and service calls to a
minimum. For this reason, we recommend that the following preventive maintenance schedule be followed.
AFTER EACH USE (DAILY)
• Wipe upholstery, handgrips, bars, and frame (if needed) with a soap and water cleaning solution.
EVERY WEEK
• Lubricate guide rods with a spray or silicone gel lubricant.
• Inspect cable ends and cable insulation for damage.
EVERY MONTH - IMPORTANT!
• Inspect all frame bolts and tighten as needed.
ADjUSTING CABLE TENSION
Regularly check the cable tension of your home gym. If excessive slack
exists adjust cable tension by removing the pulley bolts and moving
one or both pulleys to the inner mounting position in the dual floating
pulley bracket and then reinstalling the pulley bolts. Cable tension
may also be adjusted using the threaded cable end on single pulley
bracket and weight stack Twist threaded end to adjust tension and
then tighten lock nut.
NOTE: Always maintain at least ½˝ of threaded bolt in bayonet. INNER
