Successful resistance training programs have one prominent feature in common... safety. Resistance
training has some inherent dangers, as do all physical activities. The chance of injury can be greatly
reduced or completely removed by using correct lifting techniques, proper breathing, maintaining
equipment in good working condition, and by wearing the appropriate clothing.
1. It is highly recommended that you consult your physician before beginning any exercise
program. This is especially important for individuals over the age of 35, or persons with
pre-existing health problems.
2. Always warm up before starting a workout. Try to do a total body warm up before you start. It is
especially important to warm up the specic muscle groups you are going to be using. This can
be as simple as performing a warm up set of high repetitions and light weight for each exercise.
3. Use proper form. Focus on only working the muscle groups intended for the exercise you are
doing. If there is strain elsewhere, you may need to re-evaluate the amount of weight that is
involved with the lift. Keeping proper form also includes maintaining control through an entire
range of motion.
SAFETY GUIDELINES
4. Breath properly. Inhale during the eccentric phase of the exercise, and exhale during the lifting,
or concentric phase. Never hold your breath during any part of an exercise.
5. Always wear the appropriate clothing and shoes when exercising. Wearing comfortable athletic
shoes with good support and loose tting, breathable clothing will reduce the risk of injury.
6. Maintaining equipment in proper operating condition is of utmost importance for a safe
resistance training program. Pulleys and cables should be checked for wear frequently and
replaced as needed. Equipment should be lubricated as indicated by the manufacturer.
7. Read and study all warning labels on this machine. It is absolutely necessary that you
familiarize yourself and all others with the proper operation of this machine prior to use.
8. Keep hands, limbs, loose clothing and long hair well out of the way of all moving parts.
9. Do not attempt to lift more weight than you can control safely.
10. Inspect the machine daily for loose or worn parts. If a problem is found do not allow the
machine to be used until all parts are tightened or worn or defective parts are repaired or
replaced.

Warning
Safety and Maintenance of Cables
Although Powerline Equipment provides the highest quality of materials and workmanship in its products, the fact remains that component parts
eventually wear out over time and with use. This is particularly true with
reference to pliable moving parts such as cables. In spite of any expressed
and/or implied warranties, intervening factors such as improper use, unusually
heavy use, improper installation, improper alignment, poor maintenance, etc.
serve to drastically reduce the usable life and safety of cables.
Be advised that dangerous conditions can arise even during warranty
periods and that any expressed and/or implied warranties Do Not Negate the
owner’s responsibility to thoroughly, carefully and daily inspect all cables on this
machine.
Serious injury can occur if you are struck by falling weights or moving
parts. The risk that you assume by using this type of equipment can be reduced
by following a few simple steps:
Cable inspection should be performed daily. Inspect all cables, the
nylon coating on all cables and the area near the ttings at each end of each
cable. Replace any damaged or worn cables immediately. Do not allow the
machine to be used until damaged or worn cables are replaced.
Important: Cables are wear items. It is your responsibility to prevent
unexpected breakage. The actual wire strands, the ttings and the nylon coating itself must all be scrutinized. Using or allowing a machine to be used with
a suspect cable can result in serious injury. The nylon coating on a cable is
essential for cable life and safety. Visually inspect all cables and pulleys. Look
at the cables as they travel around the cams and pulleys. A cable that is wearing may exhibit a “ballooned” or broken coating in the area that passes over
the pulley. Damage to the coating is an early warning signal. A cable should
be replaced if the nylon coating is missing, is damaged in anyway, has pulled
or shrunk from the ttings at the end of the cables, or if it is discolored. Discoloration of the cable coating is an early indication of internal problems such as
wear or fraying.
Annual cable replacement (semiannual in multi-user settings) is
strongly recommended as an additional precaution. The rate at which cables
wear depends on many factors including: number of users, number of repetitions, weight setting, misuse, abuse, etc. Because of this, periodic cable
replacement is not a sufcient safeguard against unexpected breakage.
Nothing short of a thorough, careful, daily inspection constitutes an
adequate safety program.

vinyl.
l Keep sharp or pointed objects out of your
pockets and clear of all upholstery.
NUTS/BOLTS/FASTENERS:
l Periodically inspect all nuts and bolts.
Tighten if needed. If bolts seem to loosen

periodically to ensure that all hardware is
properly tensioned.
GUIDE RODS:
l Wipe clean with a dust free rag. Lubricate
with a Silicon or Teon based lubricant.

replace it immediately.
CABLES:
l While the machine is not in use. Carefully run
your ngers along the cable to feel for
thinning or bulging areas. Replace cables
immediately at the rst sign of damage or
wear. Do not use equipment until damaged
cable has been replaced.
l Visually inspect the cables for fraying,
cracking, peeling or discoloration.
l Check slack in cables and re-adjust cable
tension if needed. See pages 38-39.
l Check that jam nut at Weight Stack is tight.
ANTI-SKID SURFACES:
l Replace if they appear worn or become
slippery.
WARNING INSTRUCTION LABELS:
l Inspect and familiarize yourself with all safety
warnings and other user information on
