Important Safety Information
Warning: Before beginning any fitness program you should have a complete
physical examination by your physician. Exercising on RopeFit may cause rapid
heart rate increase. If you feel faint, develop chest pain, experience severe
musculoskeletal discomfort or have difficulty breathing, terminate the exercise
session immediately and consult a physician. Failure to do so may result in serious
bodily injury or death.
Ropefit is a self-paced workout so the faster you pull, the faster you climb. You
control the intensity of the workout at your desired pace and desired resistance.
The resistance of the unit is controlled using the UP and DOWN arrows on the
display console.
Start out slowly and increase intensity and resistance carefully.
Advanced Exercise: Always read and understand Operating Instructions before
use.
Never allow small children to operate machine. Keep small children away from
machine while in operation.
Never place towels or other objects at the bottom of the machine.
Proper Use Instruction
1.) Press the START button to light the display.
2.) Use the toggle switch on the frame to select a VERTICAL PULL workout
or a HORIZONTAL PULL workout.
3.) Use the UP and DOWN arrows to control the resistance of the rope.
4.) Stop pulling the rope to stop the workout.
5.) Press the RESET button to reset the display.
The AC Adapter is only used in the event that the battery becomes
discharged. You will know that the battery needs to be charged if the display
does not come on.

Assembly Instructions
Take the following steps to assemble the RopeFit
1.) Remove the packing materials from the unit.
2.) Using a ½” wrench or socket, remove the 4 bolts securing the unit to the
shipping pallet.
CAUTION: To avoid injury and ensure your safety, be sure to get the
appropriate number of people to help you move the climber to its final
location. A fully assembled RopeFit is very heavy and you might injure
yourself if you move the unit improperly.
3.) Slide the unit off the side of the pallet and on to the floor.
4.) Roll the unit on its rear transport wheels to its new location by slowly tipping the
unit back to engage the wheel. Be sure to have assistance as unit is heavy.
5.) Extend the Vertical Rope Pulley arm up and secure it in place with the BOLT
and LOCKNUT provided. You will need a ¾” wrench to tighten the locknut.
6.) Adjust the TWO leveling footpads at the rear of the unit near the transport
wheels to add stability to the unit.
7.) Install the 4 Sleeve Anchors provided in the Owners Packet to secure unit to
the floor.
