IMPORTANT PRECAUTIONS

WARNING: To reduce the risk of serious injury, read the following important precautions before using the resistance system.

1.Read all instructions in this manual and all warnings on the resistance system before using the resistance system. Use the resistance system only as described in this manual.

2.It is the responsibility of the owner to ensure that all users of the resistance system are adequately informed of all precautions.

3.The resistance system is intended for home use only. Do not use the resistance system in any commercial, rental, or institutional setting.

4.Keep the resistance system indoors, away from moisture and dust. Place the resistance system on a level surface, with a mat beneath it to protect the floor or carpet. Make sure that there is enough clearance around the resistance system to mount, dismount, and use the resistance system.

5.Inspect and properly tighten all parts regularly. Replace any worn parts immediately.

6.Keep children under 12 and pets away from the resistance system at all times.

7.Keep hands and feet away from moving parts.

8.Always wear athletic shoes for foot protection while exercising.

9.The resistance system is designed to support a maximum user weight of 300 pounds.

10.The top frame is not designed to be used for pull-up exercises. Do not hang on the top frame.

11.Pull on the lower cable only while sitting on the bench or standing on the base plate. Pull on the high cables only while sitting on the bench, with the seat in one of the three positions closest to the upright base, or while standing on the base plate.

12.The resistance system is designed to be used with the included resistance. Do not use the resistance system with any other type of resistance.

13.Always disconnect the lat bar from the high cables when performing an exercise that does not require it.

14.Make sure the storage knob is in place and fully tightened each time the resistance system is used.

15.Make sure that the cables remain on the pulleys at all times. If the cables bind as you are exercising, stop immediately and make sure that the cables are on the pulleys. Replace all cables at least every two years.

16.Always make sure the two screws in the rope clamps are fully tightened each time the resistance system is used.

17.Do not pull on the cables while the resistance level is being adjusted.

18.If you feel pain or dizziness while exercising, stop immediately and begin cooling down.

ASSEMBLY

Make Things Easier for Yourself

This manual is designed to ensure that the resistance system can be assembled successfully by most people. However, it is important to realize that the versatile resistance system has many parts and that the assembly process will take time. Most people find that by setting aside plenty of time, assembly will go smoothly.

Before beginning assembly, carefully read the following information and instructions:

•Assembly requires two persons.

•Place all parts in a cleared area and remove the packing materials. Do not dispose of the packing materials until assembly is completed.

•For help identifying small parts, use the PART IDENTIFICATION CHART. 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.

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

•As you assemble the resistance system, make sure all parts are oriented as shown in the drawings.

The included hex keys and the following tools (not included) are required for assembly:

• Two adjustable wrenches

• One rubber mallet

• One standard screwdriver

• One Phillips screwdriver

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

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.
