persons assembling the gym.
IMPORTANT: Read this entire manual before attempting to build or use
this equipment. This manual contains step by step instructions for proper
assembly.
Use the parts list included in this manual to verify that all parts are
accounted for before assembly. If any parts are missing, contact the retailer
of this Smith Cage System for replacement parts. Or, call Inspire Fitness

under your Smith Cage System to protect wood flooring or carpeting from
damage during assembly and usage.

garages and screened in porches are not recommended due to high
humidity or dust. Rust could form on certain parts, including linear bearing
shafts, in a humid environment resulting in impaired function.

Training Tips
CONSULT A PHYSICIAN BEFORE STARTING ANY EXERCISE PROGRAM
1. Always warm up before you start weight training. This helps get
your muscles warm and prevents injury. You can warm up with light
cardio or by doing a light set of each exercise before going to heavier
weights.
2. Control the weight. Always work with a weight that you can handle
through a full range of motion. Slow and steady movements are
recommended.
3. Breathe. Don’t hold your breath during your set. Holding your
breath builds internal pressure which increases your change for broken
blood vessels, as well as a hernia.
4. Sit up straight. Pay attention to your posture and keep everything
straight. Engage your abs in every movement to keep balanced and
protect your spine.
GENERAL MAINTENANCE INFORMATION AND SCHEDULE

hardware or parts. If wear or damage exists, replace immediately.
• Do not use or store equipment outdoors.

coat of a teflon-based lubricant.
