Fig. A Illustration above depicts the Press B
(#15) locking mechanism.
. Keep hands, limbs, loose clothing and long hair well out of the way of moving
parts.
. Do not attempt to lift more weight than you can control safely.
Barbell Weight Plates
Olympic Bar Colla
. Inspect the Smith-Half Cage for any sign of wear on parts, hardware becoming
loose or cracks on welds. If a Problem is found do not use or allow the
machine to be used until defective part is repaired or replaced.
. The Press Bar (#15) has a swivel locking mechanism that allows you to safely
lock out the Press Bar (#15) at virtually any setting. See Fig. A.
. The Safety Spotter Hooks (#11, #12) prevent the bar from being lowered
below desired point and avoid getting crushed under the Press Bar (#15) if the
weight is too heavy to control. Use the Decal-numbers 1-20 (#64) on the Front
Uprights (#4) to ensure that the Safety Spotter Hooks (#11,#12) are set to an
equal adjustment setting (same height).
10. Before you add weight plates to the Press Bar (#15), you should fi rst set-up the
Safety Spotter Hooks (#11,#12) for the desired exercise. It is recommended
that you test the desired setting without weight plates on the Press Bar (#15)
to make sure the Safety Spotter Hooks (#11,#12) are on the appropriate
exercise setting.
Weight Prong
Fig. B Caution: Use collars to prevent the weig
plates from falling off the Olympic Adaptors (#7)
the Press Bar (#15).
11. If you are adding or storing weight plates on the Olympic Adapters (#7) or the
Press Bar (#15), do not over-load them. Allow enough space to put a weight
collar into place. See Fig. B
12. Do not drop heavy weight on the Safety Spotter Brackets (#10), as it can
result in damage to the equipment.
13. Pay special attention to the Turn/ Pull Pins w/Knob (#138) located on the Bar
Holders (#18) and the Bar Safety Spotters (#17). Be sure they are fully en-
gaged into the selectorized holes of the Front Uprights (#4). Refer to Fig. C
for further illustration.

Maintenance
t
a
t
aintenance Information
1. Lubrication of all moving parts is essential to the
longevity and optimal performance of your SmithHalf Cage Series. Initial lubrication of some parts of
your gym has been done at the factory, but the Linear
Shafts must be lubricated at the time of assembly. We
recommend a light layer of tefl on grease.
Note: Do not use oil based lubricants as they will attract
dust, dirt and grime, and will eventually gum up and
erode bushings and sealed bearings.
2. Periodically check all moving parts for signs of wear or
damage. If there is a problem or replacement part is
necessary, STOP USING THE EQUIPMENT and immediately contact your local Tuff Stuff retailer or call our
Customer Service Department. Replace parts using
only genuine Tuff Stuff parts.
3. The unit should be wipe down with a damp cloth and
dried on a daily basis. The powder coat fi nish should
be polished with a good car wax on a weekly basis.
The chrome-plated surfaces should be polished with a
commercial grade or automotive type chrome polish on
a weekly basis.
4. Linear bearing systems are precision, high loa
components that require regular maintenance. Th
Linear Shafts must be wipe down weekly and lubricate
with a light layer of tefl on grease. Lack of care an
maintenance will result in corrosion of the Linear Shaf
causing the bearings to clogged and jammed.
5. When checking the bolts and nuts, be sure they are
fully fastened. If there is a bolt or nut that continuousl
loosens obtain a replacement through your local Tu
Stuff retailer or call our Customer Service Departmen
6. Check welds to be free of cracks.
7. Failure to perform routine maintenance could result i
personal injury and/or equipment damage.
