Fitting the number holder

The number holder must be installed 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.

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.

Lifting and moving the equipment

Use the castors (optional) to move the equipment.
WARNING
Move the equipment very carefully, because it may become unstable and tip over.
The wheels for moving the equipment snap on underneath the feet of the equipment, after it has been raised, and are held in place by the special straps.
Raise the equipment using a pallet truck or fork-lift truck from the weight stack side; and for greater safety place a wedge under the frame to keep the equipment raised.
Insert the two fixed wheels first on one side and then on the other side of the weight stack: fit wheel stems (A) into the holes provided under the equipment feet, then push hard until they snap in..

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 wheels must always be placed underneath the weight stack.

Lifting and moving the equipment
Proceeding in the same way, lift the equipment from the seat side and insert the castors.
Lastly, lift the equipment again, remove the safety wedges and place the wheels on the floor.
WARNINGS
When moving the equipment, push it only from the weight stack side, and not from the other sides.
When lifting the equipment, do not exert pressure against the protective panel covering the weight stack.
Do not use the equipment with the wheels and castors fitted. The wheels and castors are to be used only for moving the equipment and must be removed before exercising on it.

Lifting and moving the equipment
To facilitate passage through narrow doorways, transport and handling, it is possible to remove the seat:
- operate lever (B) and completely lower the seat (C);
- remove one of the three screws (D) and screw it into the hole behind the tube (E) of the seat;
- remove the other screws (D) and remove the seat (C).
To reassemble the seat, carry out the above steps in reverse order. Keep seat (C) pressed downward while removing screw (D) from behind the tube.
WARNING
During this operation do NOT operate lever (B).

Adjusting the equipment

After the equipment has been positioned on the floor, check that it is level.
An adjuster screw, clearly indicated by two embossed arrows, is supplied for this purpose under feet (A).
Raise the equipment and adjust the screw until the equipment is level.
WARNING
Given the weight of the equipment, we recommend that it should always be lifted by more than one person.

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 protective panel on the weight stack
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.
To replace the seat loosen the screws on the side opposite to the padding.
Handgrips may be removed after unscrewing the screws (A).

Replacing the cable

Cables must always be replaced at the first sign of wear, even if only the outer rubber protection is worn.
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 move downward, resting against the rubber stops (C);
- insert the new cable and retighten the 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 of the weight stack;
- bring the two levers into contact with the rubber travel stops (D);
- tighten the cable and tighten the 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 protective panel on the weight stack
WARNINGS
Carefully check the state of the cables once a month.
ALWAYS use cables supplied directly by Technogym.

Adjusting cable tension

To take up some of the slack in the weight stack cable proceed as follows:
- remove the front protective panel on the weight stack;
- use an Allen key (A) and an open spanner (B);
loosen nut (C) securing 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 protective panel on the weight stack.

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

Sit facing the handgrips.
Pull up lever (A) under the back of the seat to adjust the height so that the chest pad (B) is halfway up your breastbone. Body weight is sufficient to lower the seat; to raise it, on the contrary, you must stand up.
Select the workload with pin (C).
Position the chest pad so that the workload is slightly raised when your arms are extended.
Stand up and take hold of the handgrips (D) symmetrically.
In the starting position, your feet will be on footrests (E), your arms extended and the weight stack slightly raised.

Using the equipment
Pull with both arms simultaneously until they are fully bent, then extend both arms at the same time.
Maintain a smooth controlled speed; we recommend a slower speed during the return phase than during the approach phase.
In the return movement of the last repetition, stand up and let go of the handgrips, lowering the load down slowly.
