+During use, wear suitable sports clothing rather than loose or baggy clothing.
When selecting sports shoes, think about the suitability of the sole – preferably
this should be made of rubber or other non-slip materials. Shoes with heels, leather
soles, studs or spikes are not suitable. Never work out in bare feet.
+It is also important to take note of the information given in the workout instructions
for creating a workout plan.
+At the rst signs of weakness, nausea, dizziness, pain, diculty in breathing or
other abnormal symptoms, stop your workout immediately and, if necessary,

Assembly is complete! Please take the following steps before using the gym:
1. Make certain all bolts are tightened securely.
2. Make certain all cables are seated into all pulley grooves. A cable rubbing against
steel will peel the nylon coating, voiding warranty and resulting in a need for
replacement.
3. Pre-stretch the cables. Put the weight selector pin (42) in the bottom hole on the
weight stack. Pull on the cables with great force, helping remove any kinks and
providing any initial cable stretch.
4. Be aware the cables can loosen and slightly stretch upon initial use.
5. The cables should be adjusted as tight as possible, but no so tight as to lift the
top plate (17) above the weight stack. Be certain to secure the jam nuts after
adjustments are made.
6. For better performance, apply a household lubricant (such as silicone) to any
adjustable areas and to the guide rods (5).
7. Enjoy many years of a t lifestyle.
