Assembly
To level the platform, use a 17-mm open end spanner to adjust the two rubber threaded feet (F), under the platform. For example, to lower the foot, first turn the nut of the foot anticlockwise to loosen it, and then turn the foot itself until it rests on the floor; finally, tighten the nut by turning it clockwise while holding the foot in place.
WARNINGS
Always level the equipment first, and then the platform, NEVER THE OPPOSITE.
When moving the equipment with the platform assembled, screw the feet (F) all the way in.

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:
- 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 oil over the guides, taking care not to apply too much.
Call the Technogym Technical Support Service for instructions on any maintenance operations not described in this manual.
