tions before using the home gym.

1. It is the responsibility of the owner to ensure that all users of the home gym are adequately informed of all precautions.

2. Read all instructions in this manual and in the accompanying literature before using the home gym.

3. If you feel pain or dizziness at any time while exercising, stop immediately and begin cooling down.

4. Use the home gym only on a level surface. Cover the floor or carpet beneath the home gym for protection.

5. Inspect and tighten all parts often. Replace any worn parts immediately.

6. Make sure the cables remain on the pulleys at all times. If the cables bind while you are exercising, stop immediately and make sure the cables are on all of the pulleys.

7. Always stand on a foot plate when performing an exercise that could cause the home gym to tip.

Identifying Parts

To help you identify the small parts used in assembly, we have included a PART IDENTIFICATION CHART located in the center of this manual. Place the chart on the floor or work table and use it to quickly identify different parts for each step. Note: Some small parts may have been pre-attached for shipping. If a part is not in the parts bag, check to see if it has been pre-attached.

Orienting Parts

As you assemble this product, be sure that all parts are oriented as shown in the drawings.

Tightening Parts

Tighten all parts as you assemble them, unless instructed to do otherwise.

Lining Up the Tools

Assembly requires the following tools (not included):

• Two (2) adjustable wrenches

• One (1) standard screwdriver

• One (1) phillips screwdriver

• One (1) rubber mallet

• Lubricant, such as grease or petroleum jelly, and soapy water

• Tape, such as clear tape or masking tape

Assembly will be more convenient if you have a socket set, a set of open-end or closed-end wrenches or a set of ratchet wrenches.

Some assembly steps require two people.

Giving Yourself a Good Start

Before you begin the assembly process itself, take the time to complete the steps outlined here.

Clearing the Workspace

Clear a workspace that is large enough to hold all parts and allow you to walk all the way around the assembled equipment.

Unpacking the Box

To make the assembly process as smooth as possible, we have broken it into separate stages. All parts used in each stage are found in individual packages in the shipping box. Place all parts in a cleared area and remove the packing materials. Do not dispose of the packing materials until assembly is completed.

Important: Wait until you begin each assembly stage to open the parts bag labeled for that assembly stage.

Assembly

Making Things Easier for Yourself

Everything in this manual is designed to ensure that our products can be assembled successfully by anyone. However, it is important to realize that your new equipment is a sophisticated product with many small parts. The assembly process will take time—possibly several hours. Most people find that by setting aside plenty of time, and by deciding to make the task enjoyable, assembly will go smoothly. You may want to complete the process over a couple of evenings.

The Four Stages of the Assembly Process

Frame Assembly

You will begin by assembling the base and the upright frames that serve as the skeleton of the equipment.

Arm Assembly

This assembly completes the press and butterfly arms that you operate while you are exercising.

Cable Assembly

This assembly completes the cables and pulleys that connect the moving arms with each other and with the weights.

Seat Assembly

This assembly completes the seat and backrest that support your body while you are exercising.
