Abdominal Crunch
Contents Lifting and handling the equipment
To move the equipment, it is necessary to use
the wheels.
Danger
Move the equipment with great care
to avoid it tipping over.
The wheels for moving the equipment snap on
underneath the feet of the equipment, after it
has been lifted, and are held in place by the
special straps.
Lift the equipment from the weight stack
side, using a pallet truck or fork-lift truck, and
for greater safety place a wedge underneath
the frame to keep the equipment raised.
Warning
It is recommended to place some
padded material between the frame
and the wedge, and between the
frame and the lifting machine.
Insert the two fixed wheels first on one side and then on the other side of the weight stack: fit the
pins (A) of the wheels into the special holes under the equipment feet, then push all the way in.
