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 maximum safety and performance.
Body-Solid uses the highest quality materials available,
but wear is inevitable. Therefore, you must carefully
inspect your equipment.
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:
m Be sure to always provide adequate supervision to
all end-users.
m Be sure to instruct all end-users of proper usage.
m 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.
NUTS/BOLTS/FASTENERS:
m Periodically inspect all nuts and bolts. Tighten if
needed. If bolts seem to loosen periodically, use
Loctite 242 for a long-term cure.
m Go through a re-tightening sequence periodically to
ensure that all hardware is properly tensioned.
ADJUSTMENTS:
m Check all pieces for signs of visible wear or damage.
ANTI-SKID SURFACES:
m Replace if they appear worn or become slippery.
WARNING INSTRUCTION LABELS:
m Inspect and familiarize yourself with all safety
warnings and other user information on decals.

S a f e t y G u i d e l i n e s
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.
m 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.
m 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 specific 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.
m 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.
m 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.
m Always wear the appropriate clothing and shoes when exercising. Wearing comfortable
athletic shoes with good support and loose fitting, breathable clothing will reduce the risk
of injury.
m 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.
m 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.
m Keep hands, limbs, loose clothing and long hair well out of the way of all moving parts.
m Do not attempt to lift more weight than you can control safely.
m 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.

Set up the SMR1000 on a solid, flat surface. A smooth,
flat surface under the machine helps keep it level. A
level machine has fewer malfunctions.
Provide ample space around the machine. Open

Review the Installation Requirements
before proceeding with the following
steps.
The SMR1000 unit comes in three boxes. Be careful to
assemble components in the sequence presented in
this guide.
NOTE: With so many assembled parts, proper
alignment and adjustment is critical. While
tightening the nuts and bolts, be sure to leave
room for adjustments.
Insert all bolts in the same direction. For aesthetic
purposes, insert all bolts in the same direction unless
specified (in text or illustrations) to do otherwise.
Leave room for adjustments. Tighten fasteners such as
bolts, nuts, and screws so the unit is stable, but leave
room for adjustments. Do not fully tighten fasteners
until instructed in the assembly steps to do so.
Fill out and mail the warranty card.
