For Maximum Effectiveness and Safety, Please Read This Owner’s Manual Before Using Your Total Gym 1700 Club.

OWNER’S MANUAL

Congratulations on purchasing your new

Total Gym®1700 Club.

With this product in your home, you have everything you need to start your own workout program, to tone and strengthen the important muscle groups of your upper and lower body. This is vital for all of us, regardless of age, sex, or fitness level, and regardless of whether your primary goal is body sculpting, weight loss, health maintenance, or more energy for daily activities.

Strength training not only tones and conditions the muscles we use every day to stand, walk, lift, and turn; it can actually transform our body composition. By reducing body fat and increasing the proportion of lean muscle in our bodies, strength training can effectively turn up our metabolic thermostat, so that we burn calories all the time, no matter what we’re doing.

It’s easy-all you have to do is spend 15 to 20 minutes a day, 3 to 4 days per week on your Total Gym 1700 Club to start realizing the benefits.

Be sure to read through this Owner’s Manual carefully.

It is the authoritative source of information about your Total Gym 1700 Club.

If you have questions about your Total Gym 1700 Club, please call Customer Service at 1-800-321-9236,

Monday through Friday, 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM, Eastern Time.

SET UP

Your product comes with:

• Safety Hitch Pin located at the bottom of the Vertical Column, which must be removed prior to unfolding.

• Height Adjustment Quick Release Pin located on back of Vertical Column for raising and lowering rails.

• One (1) Spring Loaded Pin locked into the base of the left rail by the height adjustment tube. Left side is determined by standing behind the unit facing the Vertical Column.

IMPORTANT: To Prevent Injury – Be sure the spring-loaded pin is locked securely into place in the left rail before using unit. This will prevent the height adjustment column from falling forward.

• Safety Pin - located on Lanyard/attached to Height Adjustment Tube.

• One Long Hitch Pin for Leg Pulley Bracket is located in the Miscellaneous Section of Accessory Kit as well as two Medium Hitch Pins for the Wing Accessory, and 4 Short Hitch Pins for the Press Up Bars and Dip Bars.

IMPORTANT: Before using the Wing Accessory, Leg Pulley Accessory, Press Up Bars and Dip Bars, be sure the Hitch Pins are securely inserted (see page 8, 9 & 11 of this manual for directions).

• One (1) Bolt and two (2) Weight Clips are located on the Weight Bar.

IMPORTANT: Before using the Weight Bar, be sure the Weight Clips are installed (see page 10 of this manual for directions).

1. Pull the product out of the shipping box. Remove all packaging

materials, including tape and cardboard inserts, from your unit.

2. Lay product on the floor with glideboard side up. Make sure you have

plenty of space on both ends of the product. Slide the glideboard as far as it will go towards the Front Crossbar before you begin lifting unit.

3. Lift the exerciser up by holding it at the top of the rails. Using your foot,

slowly spread the unit open at the bottom approximately 12 inches so that it rests firmly on the Front and Back Crossbars not allowing it to go too far.

4. Make sure the handles are out to the sides before

you begin to unfold your unit. Keep hands and fingers away from pulley. Hold onto the top center of glideboard and begin rolling rear rollers. Spread the unit out until it is flat on the floor. Be careful to do this

slowly.

Be sure to support the frame in the center to avoid having the product drop suddenly onto the floor or pinch fingers.

5. (a) Remove Safety Hitch Pin from bottom of Vertical Column. Next

remove plastic packing ties from the top and bottom of the Vertical Column. Pull out the Spring Loaded Pin Knob located at the left rail (NOTE - pin shown in picture is on right side) to release Spring Loaded Pin. Continue to hold pin out while performing the next step.
