Place of installation
To ensure safe, comfortable and effective use of the equipment, the place of installation must comply with certain specific requirements;
in particular, before choosing where to install the equipment we recommend that you check that the following conditions are available:
- a temperature between +10°C and +25°C;
- sufficient ventilation to maintain a humidity level between 20% and 90%, when the equipment is in use;
- sufficient lighting to make the area a safe and relaxing place to exercise;
- sufficient clearance on all sides of the equipment, taking into account its maximum dimensions when in use, to ensure safety;
- a flat, stable and vibration-free floor surface, with sufficient load bearing capacity for the equipment’s weight.
If the equipment is to be installed in a public recreation area, the place of installation must comply with all the requirements of the
regulations currently in force.
WARNINGS
The equipment must be installed and used in a place where access and supervision are specifically controlled by the
owner.
When installing the equipment, use suitable personal protective equipment.

Fitting the number holder
The number holder must be fixed immediately underneath the top: standing facing
the equipment, attach the number holder on the left, on the cover of guide rail (A).
Find the place where the two screws (B) are to be inserted.
Attach the number holder using the two screws; the pressure used to tighten the
screws is enough to open the holes provided in the cover.
The number holder is optional.

Lifting and moving the equipment
Snap-on castors (optional) must be used to move the equipment.
WARNING
Move the equipment very carefully, because it may become unstable
and tip over.
The castors for moving the equipment snap on under the feet of the equipment,
after it has been raised, and are held in place by the special straps.
Raise the equipment on the weight stack side, using a pallet truck or fork-lift
truck; and for greater safety place a wedge under the frame to keep the equipment
raised.
Insert the two fixed castors first on one side and then on the other side of the
weight stack: fit castor stems (A) into the holes provided under the equipment
feet, then push hard until they snap in.
A
01083016
WARNINGS
We recommend placing padded material between the frame and the
wedge and between the frame and the machinery used to lift it.
The fixed castors must always be placed underneath the weight stack.

Lifting and moving the equipment
Proceeding in the same way, lift the equipment on the seat side and insert the
swivel castors.
Lastly, lift the equipment again, remove the safety wedges and place the wheels
on the floor.
WARNINGS
When moving the equipment, we recommend pushing it only from the
weight stack side, and not from any other side.
When lifting the equipment, do not press against the weight stack
guards.
Do not use the equipment with the castors fitted. The castors are to
be used only for moving the equipment and must be removed before
exercising on it.

Adjusting the equipment
After the equipment has been positioned on the floor, check that it is level.
If necessary, use the adjuster screw located under foot (A), clearly indicated by
two raised arrows.
Raise the equipment and adjust the screw until the equipment is level.

Routine maintenance
WARNINGS
The safety of the equipment is assured only on the condition that it is carefully inspected every two weeks for any signs
of damage and/or wear.
Replace defective and worn components immediately, or alternatively remove the equipment from service.
The equipment should always be kept clean and free of dust, in compliance with good hygiene practice, especially if it is used in a
gym or by more than one person.
Use a moist cloth or a sponge and mild soap to clean the padded parts.
Wipe the outside of the equipment every week using a damp sponge.
Do not use chemicals or solvents.
WARNING
Be careful not to rub too hard on the drawings and instructions shown on the labels.
Oiling the weight stack guide rails:
- remove the protective panel covering the weight stack, following the instructions found in the paragraph headed Removing the
front weight stack panel;
- use a soft cloth to remove any dust and oil residues from the guide rails;
- slightly moisten the cloth with the oil supplied in the optional Basic Box kit;
- using this cloth, apply a very thin layer of lubricant over the guide rails, taking care not to apply too much;
- refit the weight stack protective panel.
Call the Technogym Technical Support Service for instructions on any maintenance operations not described in this manual.

Replacing the padded parts
If any of the padding shows signs of wear, especially in the interests of hygiene,
we recommend replacing them completely.
Handgrips may be removed after unscrewing the screws (A).
To replace seats and backrests loosen the screws on the opposite side to the
padding.

Replacing the cable
Cables must always be replaced at the first sign of wear, even if only the outer
rubber protection is worn.
WARNINGS
Carefully check the state of the cables once a month.
ALWAYS use cables supplied directly by Technogym.
To replace the cable, proceed as follows:
- remove the protective panel covering the weight stack, following the
instructions found in the paragraph headed Removing the front weight stack
panel;
- unscrew the screws (A) of both tension clamps (B) and remove the cable; as
soon as they are released from the cables, the two levers will rise slightly;
- insert the new cable and retighten screws (A) on one tension clamp only (follow
the original path of the cable as shown in the drawing);

Replacing the cable
- insert a thickness of approx. 10 mm (1/2 inch) under the first weight in the
weight stack;
- bring the two levers into contact with the rubber travel stops;
- tighten the cable and tighten screws (A) on the other tension clamp, always
keeping the levers in contact with the rubber travel stops;
- remove the 10 mm (1/2 inch) thickness from the weight stack;
- refit the weight stack protective panel.

Adjusting the cable tension
To take up some of the slack in the weight stack cable proceed as follows:
- remove the front panel protecting the weight stack;
- use an Allen key (A) and an open spanner (B);
- loosen the nut (C) securing the screw (D) by half a turn in an anticlockwise direction;
- simultaneously turn both housings of the pulley, clockwise to tighten the cable
or anticlockwise to loosen it;
WARNING
Both housings must be turned the same distance on their respective
sides: to do this, constantly check that tabs (E) remain perfectly aligned.
- after completing the operation, tighten nut (C) to secure screw (D);
- refit the front panel protecting the weight stack.

Storage
If the equipment is not expected to be used for a prolonged period, we recommend storing it:
- in a clean and dry place, covered with a cloth to protect it from dust;

Disposal
It is always good practise to ensure that the equipment can never constitute a hazard; therefore do not leave the equipment where
children may play with it.
Do not dump the equipment in the environment, or in public areas or private areas accessible to the public.
The equipment is made from recyclable materials such as steel, aluminium and plastic, which must be disposed of in the manner
prescribed by the urban refuse collection regulations in force, by firms specialised in urban and environmental hygiene.

Using the equipment
Handgrips (B) should be chest high. Adjust the seat height by sitting on it and
lifting lever (A) under the front of the seat. Body weight is sufficient to lower the
seat; to raise it, on the contrary, you must stand up.
Select the workload with pin (C).
Rest your back flat against the backrest.
Push the easy start foot bar (D) with your right foot, then grasp handgrips ( B).
Holding the handgrips symmetrically, and using the indentations provided to
ensure this, let go of easy start foot bar (D) and place your feet on the floor spread
your legs for greater stability.

Using the equipment
Stretch your arms forward simultaneously, without straining your elbows.
Keep your elbows, wrists and shoulders aligned while performing the exercise.
Maintain a smooth controlled speed; we recommend a slower speed during the
return phase than during the approach phase.
Placing your grip closer or wider permits you to vary the trajectory of your arm
movements from more convergent to more open exercises.
During the return phase of the last repetition press down hard on the easy start
foot bar. Carry out the return movement slowly until you feel that the weight is
supported by the easy start foot bar, then let go of the handgrips and raise the
foot bar slowly until the weight stack returns to the starting position.
