I NSTALLATION S AFETY P RECAUTIONS
1. Read this Installation Manual entirely before assembling this equipment.
2. Verify that there is adequate space surrounding this piece of equipment for safe access and
operation. Installation must meet ADA requirements for accessibility.
3. Install this piece of equipment on a solid level surface that does not deviate more then 1/8”
over a 10’ distance (or as defined and required by local building and architectural codes.
4. Paramount strongly recommends that all equipment be anchored to the floor to prevent
movement and increase stability.
• Due to the wide variation of flooring on which the unit can be installed, contact a
qualified contractor to determine an appropriate fastening system for your floor.
• Use 3/8” diameter hardware (10 mm) to anchor the machine. Anchors should have a
minimum pull out force of 220 lbs (110 kgs) for each position.
• When attaching the machine to the floor, if there is a gap between the machine foot
and the floor, do not use the anchor to remove the gap as this can cause the
machine frame to deform. Instead, place a shim between the bottom of the foot and
the floor, then tighten the anchor.
• Anchoring holes are provided on the feet of the frame. All anchoring locations must
be used when anchoring the equipment to the floor.
5. DO NOT install any fitness equipment near a pool, hot tub or other damp locations. Corrosion
caused by installation in these locations can lead to premature failure of components.
6. Be sure all hardware is tight before using this machine.

IMPORTANT
Preventative maintenance is crucial to maintaining the function and safety of this equipment. Your
facility must establish written guidelines for preventative maintenance and keep written or online
records of the maintenance performed on these products. As a minimum, the items presented in
the SAFETY section of this document and the items that follow here, should be included in your
maintenance program.
1. Cables: Inspect end fittings daily for wear. Inspect the entire length of the cable weekly.
Replace cables at the first sign of wear and on an annual basis. If the cable tension has
been adjusted, be certain that the cable nut is tight.
2. Nuts, Bolts, and Fasteners: Check tightness weekly. If any hardware has become loose,
retighten and/or use Loctite
TM

before using the machine.
3. Safety Catches: Inspect catches, stop rods and their associated fasteners weekly. Tighten
any loose hardware and replace any components at first signs of wear.
4. Frames: Wipe all machines down with a damp cloth and dry completely each day. This
includes painted parts, chrome parts and upholstered pads.
5. Painted and chrome plated parts: Use Simple Green or similar cleaner for light dirt and
grime. Use Turtle Wax Polishing Compound or a good car polish to remove heavier dirt
and grease as well as for polishing. DO NOT use solvents, lacquer thinner, acetone or
finger nail polish remover. For scuffs and marks that are not removed by the above
methods use a soft scrub cleanser. Make sure all parts are dry upon completion.
6. Weight stack enclosures (shrouds): Wipe down with a damp cloth as needed.
7. Exercise instruction labels: Clean with soap and water as needed.

F EATURES
• Two 130lb. [59 kg.] fully independent weight stacks.
• The cable/pulley arrangement on this machine provides a 2:1 weight reduction. This means that
the handle pull force required to raise the entire 130 lb. weight stack is actually 65 lb. The
advantage of this for functional training is that the weight stack has 1/2 the momentum and 2
times the cable travel of a conventional 1:1 ratio machine.
• (13) weight stack settings, 5 lbs - 65 lbs. Pull force increments are 5.0lbs [2.3 kg].
• 65 lb. [29.5 kg.] max resistance at cable end (per handle).
• Cable travel is 8 feet (96 inches) [244 cm.] per handle.
• Machine weight = 505 lbs. [229 kg.]
• Floor loading = 48 lbs/ft
2
[233 kg/m

1. Verify that there are 12 weight plates installed on each stack.
2. Wipe the front surface of the weights, in the area that the label will be installed, with
isopropyl alcohol. Allow to dry completely before proceeding.
3. Shown to the right is the proper weight stack label for this machine. It contains both LB
and KG designations for each plate.
There are (3) options for installation.
A) Install just the LB labels.
B) Install just the KG labels
C) Install both the LB and KG labels.
NOTE that the designations on the label for each plate are the PULL RESISTANCE at the
handle and NOT the weight of the individual weight plates. See the MACHINE
SPECIFICATIONS section earlier in this manual for a brief discussion on this.
4. The backing that covers the adhesive is cut in a series of vertical strips. If you just want
to install the LB stickers, only remove the backing strip directly behind the area of the
LB stickers. Likewise, if you intend to install the KG stickers, remove the backing
directly under the KG stickers. DO NOT REMOVE the backing from the area behind the
center section with the holes.
5. Carefully align the top hole in the label with the hole in the top weight plate, then align the bottom hole in
the label with the hole in the bottom weight plate.
6. Once the label is aligned, lightly press the individual
stickers into place. DO NOT rub the area surrounding
the individual labels.
7. Carefully press each sticker with your finger as you
peel away the surrounding material.
8. Once you are left with the individual stickers on each
plate, press and rub the sticker firmly to the face of
the plate.
9. Allow the adhesive to cure for 48 hours. DO NOT
attempt to “test” the integrity of the labels after they
have been installed.
10. The part number for the label sheet is LBL-WSEM-
01065.
STEP 6: ATTACH THE WEIGHT STACK LABELS
Attach KG stickers, LB stickers, or both.
