Instructions for Assembly of the ProSpotfitness® HG-5

• Before assembly, choose a safe location for your PROSPOTfitness® HG-6. The PROSPOTfitness® HG-5
has a footprint of approximately 8’x 8’. The surface should be level and even. The barbell is approximately
7’ long. Locate your PROSPOTfitness® HG-5 away from any source of water. Do not allow any liquid to be
near the machine or spilled on any electrical part. Do not insert any object into the electrical box.

• This unit uses standard 110-volt household current. Since there are two Power Adapters for this unit we
recommend using a Surge Protector Plug Strip to protect and extend the life of the power supplies and the
Electronic Box from power surges and lightening strikes. The Neon Lighting System does not have an on/off
switch. Lights come on when Power supply is plugged into plug strip. A Surge Suppressor Plug strip with a
switch will allow shutting Lights off when unit is not in use. A flashing green light will appear on the Electronic
Box when power is on. When sensors are activated, a steady red light will also come on.

• The HG-5 unit is designed for climate controlled environments (indoor use only). Outdoor or non-climate
controlled use may affect the proper function of HG-6 and will void the warranty.

• Assembly time is approximate 2 hours.

• A flat area of 8’ x 8’ will be required to assemble and properly use the PROSPOTfitness® HG-5.

• You will need the following tools and a helper to complete the assembly:

• 4 mm Allen Wrench

• 5 mm Allen Wrench

• 17 mm (11/16”) Hex Head Wrench

• 19 mm (3/4”) Hex Head Wrench

• Adjustable wrench

• Metric Socket Set

• Philips Screw Driver

• Pliers

• Scissors and or Razor knife

• Floor Padding, such as cardboard, to avoid scratching your floor during assembly.

• Carefully remove parts from packaging. A good pair of scissors will be helpful in separating the parts from

one another while removing them from the cartons. Be careful not to cut or damage parts with scissors or
razor knife. Remove all parts from packing. Make sure there are no small parts left in boxes. Do not discard
boxes until assembly is complete.

• Before assembly, separate and identify the right-sided parts from the left-sided parts. These parts are easily
distinguished by the manner in which the pre-drilled holes align with corresponding parts, or are identified by
“L“ & “R” stickers. Left and right are determined by facing the unit. Not the user’s perspective.

• The PROSPOTfitness® HG-5 uses several different lengths of bolts. All fasteners come in labeled Blister
Packs by part number. Be careful to use the correct length of bolt called for at each step of assembly. Do not
remove fasteners from Blister packs until part is needed.

• Note some parts mat come preassembled with fasteners.

• HAND TIGHTEN all bolts. DO NOT fully tighten bolts until instructed to do so.

• Assistance by a second person is re commended for some steps of this assembly.

• WARNING: Never perform any maintenance on the ProSpotfitness®

HG-5 while the Power Supply is plugged into the wall !!!

ALWAYS REMEMBER: After the initial set up of the system or after performing any

service on the unit, RESET the Computer on your ProSpot system before using it. Just unplug
the power supply from the Electronic Box, wait 30 seconds and plug back in. Resetting the
Computer allows it to recalibrate and work to its greatest efficiency.
