What tools do I need for assembly?
You’ll need a metric socket set with 17 mm, 18 mm, and 19 mm sockets, along with 17 mm, 18 mm, and 19 mm wrenches, an adjustable wrench, a metric tape measure, and a rubber mallet. The 3 mm, 4 mm, 5 mm, and 6 mm Allen wrenches are included in the hardware packs. Check the parts list in the manual to confirm all parts are present before you begin. Follow the step-by-step instructions in order, and use the cable chart in the manual when routing the cables.
Who can use the M2?
Keep children off the machine at all times, and keep bystanders at least 5 feet away while it’s in use. Consult your doctor before starting any exercise program. Stop immediately if you experience shortness of breath, pain, or dizziness during your workout.
What safety precautions should I follow?
Read the entire manual and familiarize yourself with all the decals and warnings before using the machine. Don’t hang from the press arm, since it isn’t designed to support body weight. Keep the machine clear of walls, obstructions, and furniture. Use the machine only for its intended purpose, and don’t use attachments the manufacturer doesn’t recommend. Keep your hands clear of the pinch points marked on the machine. Warm up before you train, control the weight through the full range of motion, and don’t hold your breath during each set.
Can I use the M2 outdoors?
No. The M2 is for indoor use only. Humidity can cause rust on parts such as the guide rods, which can affect how the machine works. Don’t use or store it outdoors.
How do I maintain the M2?
Every week, inspect the links, pull pins, spring clips, swivels, and weight stack pins, along with the cables and their fittings and the tautness of the shrouds. Clean the upholstery weekly. Every three months, inspect the accessory bars and handles, decals, and anti-skid surfaces, and tighten any loose nuts and bolts. Clean and lubricate the guide rods with a Teflon-based lubricant, and lubricate the seat sleeves and plastic slides. Wax the glossy finishes once a year. Replace cables, belts, and connecting parts every two years. Don’t place printed materials or styrofoam on the orthopedic seat pads, and don’t leave items on them.
How do I care for the cables?
Inspect the cables regularly for splitting, cracking, fraying, or flat spots. Replace any cable at the first sign of damage or wear, and never use the machine with damaged or worn cables. Cables stretch over time, so check the slack periodically and adjust the tension as needed.
Where can I get replacement parts or a new cable?
Request replacement parts on the Inspire Fitness part request page at inspirefitness.com/pages/part-request. Include your machine’s serial number and the name of the part you need. Use genuine Inspire parts only. For replacement cables and other parts, our support team can help you find the right one.
Where can I get lubricant for the guide rods?
Our support team has confirmed that lubricant bottles are available for purchase for $5 each, plus shipping. You can also use an aftermarket Teflon-based lubricant.
What warranty comes with the M2?
The residential warranty is limited lifetime for the frame, parts, and moving parts. The warranty covers the original purchaser, and it isn’t transferable to a new owner. To file a claim, have your sales receipt ready, which should show your purchase date, the model, and the serial number. Our support team may also ask for your postal code and a photo of your receipt. Warranty parts must be returned in their original container, and you’ll be responsible for shipping costs. Service should only be performed by an authorized retailer, since service by anyone else can void your warranty. You can register your product at inspirefitness.com/pages/warranty-registration.
