IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Important Safety Instructions
Important Safety Instructions
Before beginning any fitness program, you should
obtain a complete physical examination from your
physician.
Il est conseillé de subir un examen médical complet
avant d’entreprendre tout programme d’exercise. Si
vous avez des étourdissements ou des faiblesses,
arrêtez les exercices immédiatement.
When using exercise equipment, you should always
take basic precautions, including the following:
• Read all instructions before using the S3.45
equipment. These instructions are written to
ensure your safety and to protect the unit.
• Do not allow children on or near the equipment.
• Use the equipment only for its intended purpose
as described in this guide. Do not use accessory
attachments that are not recommended by the
manufacturer: such attachments might cause
injuries.
• Wear proper exercise clothing and shoes for your
workout—no loose clothing.
• Use care when getting on or off the unit.
• Do not overexert yourself or work to
exhaustion.
• If you feel any pain or abnormal symptoms,
stop your workout immediately and consult
your physician.
• Never operate the unit when it has been dropped or
damaged. Return the equipment to a service center
for examination and repair.
• Never drop or insert objects into any opening in the
equipment. Keep hands away from moving parts.
• Always check the unit and its cables before each
use. Make sure that all fasteners and cables are
secure and in good working condition.
• Do not use the equipment outdoors.
Personal Safety During Assembly
• It is strongly recommended that a qualified dealer
assemble the equipment.
Assistance is required.
• Read each step in the assembly instructions and
follow the steps in sequence. Do not skip ahead. If
you skip ahead, you may learn later that you have
to disassemble components and that you may
have damaged the equipment.
• Assemble and operate the S3.45 on a solid, level
surface. Locate the unit a few feet from walls or
furniture to provide easy access.
The S3.45 is designed for your enjoyment. By following
these precautions and using common sense, you will
have many safe and pleasurable hours of healthful
exercise with your new equipment.

except for the maintenance tasks described
in this guide. This unit does not contain any
user-serviceable parts.

Before You Begin
Before You Begin
Thank you for purchasing the S3.45. This unit is part
of the Pacific Fitness line of quality strength-training
machines, which let you target specific muscle groups
to achieve better muscle tone and overall body
conditioning. To maximize your use of the equipment,
please study this guide thoroughly.
Unpacking the Equipment
The S3.45 is carefully tested and inspected before
shipment. Pacific Fitness ships the unit in several
pieces that require assembly. Ask for assistance during
the assembly process.
• Review the
Installation Requirements
found on the
next page.
• When instructed to open a box, carefully unpack
the pieces and lay them on the floor near the place
where you plan to use the equipment.
Be careful to open boxes and assemble components in
the sequence presented in this guide.
If any items are missing, contact the dealer from whom
you purchased the unit or call 1-800-347-4404 for the
dealer nearest you.
Optional Equipment
Optional equipment that you can purchase through
your dealer includes the 750-lb Weight Stack and the
Leg Press.
Note: If you have also purchased the Leg Press
Option and are assembling it simultaneously, specific
directions are included to reduce setup time.

Preparations
Preparations
CAUTION: To set up this unit, you will need
assistance. Do not attempt assembly by yourself.
You must review and follow the instructions in this
guide. If you do not assemble and use the S3.45
according to these guidelines, you could void
the Pacific Fitness limited warranty (see back cover).
Required Tools
Tools that you must obtain before assembling the
unit include:
❏ ⁹⁄₁₆-inch socket wrench
❏ ¾-inch socket wrench
❏ ⁹⁄₁₆-inch box-end wrench
❏ ¾-inch box-end wrench
❏ Standard set of metric Allen wrenches
❏ Two adjustable pliers or crescent wrenches
❏ Measuring tape
❏ Wire tie cutter (cuts plastic tie wraps)
❏ Rubber mallet
❏ Step stool
Installation Requirements
Follow these installation requirements when
assembling the unit:
• Fill out and mail the limited warranty card.
The warranty card is found on the back cover of
this guide.
• Set up the S3.45 on a solid, flat surface. A
smooth, flat surface under the unit helps keep it
level. A level unit has fewer malfunctions.
• Provide ample space around the machine.
Open space around the machine allows for
easier access.
• Insert all bolts in the same direction. For
aesthetic purposes, insert all the 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.
Assembly Tips
• A 6-inch scale is provided at the bottom of every
assembly instruction page. Use this scale to
identify the correct size bolts and spacers. The
head of a bolt is not used in measuring the length
of a bolt.
To find out the length of a particular bolt, measure
its shank (the long, narrow part beneath the head).
Refer to the following diagram:
Bolt head
Bolt threads
Shank
To determine the
length of a bolt,
measure its shank.
• Read all the caution notes on each page before
completing that step.
Note: A few of the bolts used to assemble the
S3.45 are longer than 6 inches. You may want to
use a measuring tape to accurately identify the
correct sizes.
• Some pieces have extra holes that you will not use.
Use only those holes indicated in the instructions
and illustrations.
• While you may be able to assemble the S3.45
using the illustrations only, important safety notes
and other tips are included in the text.

Assembly
Instructions
Assembly Instructions
Assembly of the S3.45 takes professional installers
about 1.5 hours to complete. If this is the first time you
have assembled this type of equipment, plan on
significantly more time.
Professional installers are highly recommended!
However, if you acquire the appropriate tools, obtain
assistance, and follow the assembly steps sequentially,
the process will take time, but is fairly easy.
CAUTION: Obtain assistance! Do not attempt to
assemble the S3.45 by yourself. Review the
Installation Requirements
on page 6 before
proceeding with the following steps.
The S3.45 comes in four boxes. (See the diagram at
the right.)
Be careful to open boxes and 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.
Do not fully tighten bolts until
instructed to do so.
