A Smooth, flat surface under the machine helps keep it level. A level machine has fewer malfunctions. Provide ample space around the machine. Open space around the machine allows for easier access. NOTE: With so many assembled parts, proper alignment and adjustment is critical. While tightening the nuts and bolts, be sure to leave room for adjustments. Insert all bolts in the same direction. For aesthetic purposes, insert all bolts in the same direction unless specified (in text or illustrations) to do otherwise. Leave room for adjustments. Tighten fasteners such as bolts, nuts, and screws so the unit is stable, but leave room for adjustments. Do not fully tighten fasteners until instructed in the assembly steps to do so.

Resistance training has some inherent dangers, as do all physical activities. The chance of injury can be greatly reduced or completely removed by using correct lifting techniques, proper breathing, maintaining equipment in good working condition, and by wearing the appropriate clothing. 1. It is highly recommended that you consult your physician before beginning any exercise program. This is especially important for individuals over the age of 35, or persons with pre-existing health problems. 2. Always warm up before starting a workout. Try to do a total body warm up before you start. It is especially important to warm up the specific muscle groups you are going to be using. This can be as simple as performing a warm up set of high repetitions and light weight for each exercise. 3. Use proper form. Focus on only working the muscle groups intended for the exercise you are doing. If there is strain elsewhere, you may need to re-evaluate the amount of weight that is involved with the lift. Keeping proper form also includes maintaining control through an entire range of motion. 4. Breath properly. Inhale during the eccentric phase of the exercise, and exhale during the lifting, or concentric phase. Never hold your breath during any part of an exercise. 5. Always wear the appropriate clothing and shoes when exercising. Wearing comfortable athletic shoes with good support and suitable, breathable clothing will reduce the risk of injury. 6. Maintaining equipment in proper operating condition is of utmost importance for a safe resistance training program. Pulleys and cables should be checked for wear frequently and replaced as needed. Equipment should be lubricated as indicated by the manufacturer. 7. Read and study all warning labels on this machine. It is absolutely necessary that you familiarize yourself and all others with the proper operation of this machine prior to use. 8. Keep hands, limbs, loose clothing and long hair well out of the way of all moving parts. 9. Do not attempt to lift more weight than you can control safely. 10. Inspect the machine daily for loose or worn parts. If a problem is found do not allow the machine to be used until all parts are tightened or worn or defective parts are repaired or replaced. 4

However, if you acquire the appropriate tools, obtain assistance, and follow the assembly steps sequentially, the process will take time, but is fairly easy. Required Tools: 9/16” Open-End Wrench 11/16” Open-End Wrench 3/4” Open-End Wrench 13/16” Open-End Wrench Assembly Tips: Read all “Notes” on each page before beginning each step. While you may be able to assemble this unit using the illustrations only, important safety notes and other tips are included in the text. Some pieces may have extra holes that you will not use. Use only those holes indicated in the instructions and illustrations. NOTE: To find out the length of a particular bolt, measure its shank (the long, narrow part beneath the head). Refer to the following diagram: Do not fully tighten bolts until instructed to do so. Note: After assembly, you should check all functions to ensure correct operation. If you experience problems, first recheck the assembly instructions to locate any possible errors made during assembly. If you are unable to correct the problem, call the dealer from whom you purchased the machine or call 1-800-556-3113 for the dealer nearest you. 5
