SAFETY REQUIREMENTS
1. Review and understand all of the warning labels affixed to the machines and the facility safety sign. Replace
any warning label at the first sign of wear. Labels and the Facility Safety Sign may be obtained from Paramount
free of charge.
2. Be certain that machine operation is understood before machine is used. Refer to the instruction label pro-
vided with the machine. Instruct users NOT to invent exercises or modify the machine to perform exercises.
3. Keep children away from this equipment. Supervise use by teenagers.
4. DO NOT high-pin or double-pin the weight stack. DO NOT allow the machine to be used if the top plate or
weight stack is pinned in a raised position. Use an assistant and carefully return the machine to the proper posi-
tion with the cap plate resting on the top weight. Inspect the cable to ensure that it is seated in all of the pulleys.
5. Use ONLY Paramount weight selector pins. Other manufacturer’s pins way work free of the weight stack
causing possible injury. Be certain the pins are completely inserted and that the coiled lanyards clear the
weight stack enclosure prior to use.
6. Cables: Inspect the entire cable regularly and the end fittings daily. Pay close attention to the area going over
the pulleys and to the end connections. Replace all cables at first signs of wear. Use only Paramount sup-
plied replacement cables. Ensure that the dimension from under the bolt head to the top surface of the selec-
tor bar is no greater than 1-3/8 inches (see installation). Ensure that the cable tension bolt & nut are tight.
7. Instruct Users NOT to attach both cables to single bars or handles. Use one handle or exercise bar for each
weight stack.
8. Adjustment Pins: check the function of the position selector pins on the adjustable arms. Make sure that the
selector pin inserts completely into each position without binding.
9. Instruct Users NOT to make arm position adjustments during exercise or when pulling on the cable end.
10. Nuts, Bolts, and Fasteners: Check tightness weekly. If any hardware has become loose, retighten and/or use
LoctiteTM Threadlocker 242.
11. Frames and Lifting Arms: Inspect weekly for integrity and function. Replace any component at first signs of
wear.
12. DO NOT attempt to free any jammed assemblies by yourself as this may result in injury.
13. DO NOT use incremental weights or adder weights with this machine.
14. Instruct Users not to wear loose or dangling clothes or have headphone wires hanging when using this equip-
ment.
15. Recommend that users receive a medical exam before commencing an exercise program. User should stop
exercising if they feel faint or dizzy.
16. Regularly Check the function of your machine by verifying the following:
•Cables and end fittings are intact and tensioned properly.
•All adjustments are possible and carried out with ease.
•The proper selector pin is in the weight stack.
•The exercise is performed smoothly, free of noise and/or binding.
•The guide rods are properly lubricated.
17. Follow the installation guidelines provided with the products.
18. Retain these instructions for future reference.

MAINTENANCE REQUIREMENTS
•Frames: Wipe all machines down with a damp cloth and dry completely each day. This
includes painted and chrome parts and upholstered pads.
•Painted/chrome parts: Use Simple Green or similar cleaner for light dirt and grime. Use Tur-
tleWax® 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, floor cleaners or finger nail
polish remover. For scuffs and marks that are not removed by the above methods use a soft
scrub cleanser.
•Weight stack enclosures (shrouds): Wipe down with a damp cloth as needed.
•Exercise instruction labels: Clean with soap and water as needed.
•Guide rods: Wipe all dirt and dust off the guide rods before applying a light application of Tri-
FlowTM or other silicone spray lubricant, spraying the Tri-FlowTM on a rag and then wiping the
guide rods with the rag. DO NOT use light oil base lubricants such as WD-40. Caution: Tri-
FlowTM will stain carpet and clothing.
•Bronze bushings: Check monthly for signs of wear and replace as needed. Lubricate
monthly with Tri-FlowTM.
We recommend that you purchase the Paramount Performance Kit (P/N KIT-01) to main-
tain your Paramount products. This will insure that the proper maintenance materials
required will be used. Please refer to the General Maintenance Manual (p/n AM-GMM)
for other important safety and maintenance information.

WEIGHT STACK LABEL INSTALLATION
Shipped with your machine are (2) sets of labels for the weight stack numbers. Follow the
instructions printed on the label. The PFT-200 configurations are listed below along with the cor-
responding label set part numbers.
* NOTE: Label B2173 has 16 weight labels ranging from 10 - 85 lbs. For the PFT-200-2, discard the
last two labels (80 and 85 lbs).
To install weight stack labels:
1. Verify that the weights are installed properly.
2. Wipe front surface of the weights with rubbing alcohol and allow to dry completely.
3. Remove the backing from the labels. Align the top edge of the label with the top edge of the weights and
the side of the label with the outside edge of the pin hole in the weights.
4. Verify that the label strip is straight and then remove the liner. As the liner comes off the labels, press
and rub each label into place.
5. The adhesive requires 48 hours to cure so DO NOT attempt to “test” the integrity of the labels after they
have been installed.

FINAL CHECK AND TESTING
1) CABLE CHECK.
Verify that the pulley housing is threaded
into the cap plate 1-3/8” (35 mm) as
shown.
Place both arms in position “A”
(upper position). Select the maxi-
mum weight on the weight stacks.
Pull straight down on the cable.
Ensure that the cable ball end fit-
ting is in the position as shown
and does not contact the swivel
pulley housing.
2) Verify that the cable is centered &
seated in the groove of each pulley.
3) Adjustment Pins: Check the function of the selector pins on the adjustable arms. Make
sure that each selector pin inserts completely into each position without binding.
4) Check the operation of each station through its full range of travel. Verify that it oper-
ates smoothly without binding or chattering. Try this at a few different weight settings.
TIP: After installing the weight plates, vigorously shake the weight stack to help align the
weights.

5) The PFT-200 has provisions for
anchoring the unit to the floor. Due to the
wide variation of flooring on which the
unit can be installed, contact a qualified
contractor to determine the appropriate
fastening system. COMPLETE THE
FULL ASSEMBLY OF THE MACHINE
BEFORE ANCHORING THE UNIT TO
THE FLOOR.
6) Lubricate the guide rods on each station by applying a light coating of Tri-FlowTM or
other silicone spray lubricant. Spray the lubricant on a clean rag and wipe the guide rods
with the rag. DO NOT use light oil base lubricants such as WD-40.
