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.

•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.

S3.45 Assembly and Maintenance Guide

1Before 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.

Before You Begin

S3.45 Assembly and Maintenance Guide

2 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:

⁄-inch socket wrench

¾-inch socket wrench

⁄-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	To determine the
	length of a bolt,
	measure its shank.

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.

Preparations

S3.45 Assembly and Maintenance Guide

3 AssemblyInstructions

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.
