General Safety Rules
There is a risk assumed by all individuals who use this type of
equipment. To minimize risk, you must follow these rules:
1) Inspect equipment before each workout. Check that all nuts,
bolts, screws and pop pins are in place and fully tightened.
2) Also, before each use, check cables for signs of wear. Replace
all worn parts immediately. Never use machine if any parts are
damaged or missing. FAILURE TO FOLLOW
THESE RULES MAY RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY.
3) Keep clear of cables and all moving parts when the machine
is in use.
4) Always make sure all Snap Links are closed when doing any cable/pulley/strap

5) Exercise with care. Perform your exercises at a smooth moderate
pace; never perform jerky or uncoordinated movements that may

6) It is recommended that you should workout with a training partner.
7) Do not allow children or minors to play on or around this equipment.

WARNING: Consult your physician before starting your exercise
program. For your own safety, do not begin any exercise program
without proper instruction.
Routine inspection and maintenance is of critical importance to
ensure maximum safety and performance. We offer the highest quality
equipment available, but wear is inevitable. Therefore, you must
carefully inspect your equipment as outlined in the Maintenance
Schedule. Be advised that dangerous conditions can arise even during
a warranty period. A warranty does not negate the owner's responsibility
to thoroughly, carefully and daily inspect the machine.
1. Check Cables
While the machine is not in use. Carefully run your fingers along
the cable to feel for thinning or bulging areas. Replace cables
immediately at the first sign of damage or wear. Do not use equipment
until damaged cable has been replaced.
Visually inspect the cables for fraying, cracking, peeling or discoloration.
Check slack in cables and re-adjust cable tension if needed.
Check that the jam nut on the selector rod top bolt is tight.
2. Upholstery
Wipe down after every workout.
Periodically take the time to use a mild soap or a mild vinyl upholstery
cleaner. Avoid using any abrasive cleaner not intended for use on
vinyl.
Keep sharp or pointed objects out of your pockets and clear of all
upholstery.
3. Nuts/Bolts/Fasteners
Periodically inspect all nuts and bolts. Tighten if needed. If bolts
seem to loosen periodically, use Loctite 242 for a long-term cure.
Go through a re-tightening sequence periodically to ensure that
all hardware is properly tensioned.
4.Guide Rods
Wipe clean with a dust free rag. Lubricate with a Silicon or Teflon
based lubricant.
5. Adjustments / Locking Pins / Tightening Knobs
Check all pieces for signs of visible wear or damage.
Check springs in Snap Links and Pop Pins for proper tension and
alignment.
If the spring sticks or has lost its rigidity, replace it immediately.
6. Anti-Skid Surfaces
Replace if they appear worn or become slippery.
7. Warning Instruction Labels
Inspect and familiarize yourself with all safety warnings and other
user information on decals on your home gym.
