WARNINGS
Attention must be paid to the labels attached to the equipment, as they provide
information about possible risks and hazards.
We recommend immediately replacing the labels when they become damaged or difficult
to read.
This symbol accompanies safety warnings. It is used to draw attention to potential risks of personal injury. Pay attention
to all safety warnings accompanied by this symbol to avoid possible injury.

Place of installation
To ensure safe, comfortable and effective use of the equipment, the place of installation must comply with certain specific requirements;
in particular, before choosing where to install the equipment we recommended that you check that the following conditions are available:
- a temperature between +10°C and +25°C;
- sufficient ventilation to maintain a humidity level between 20% and 90%, when the equipment is in use;
- sufficient lighting to make the area a safe and relaxing place to exercise;
- sufficient clearance on all sides of the equipment, taking into account its maximum dimensions when in use, to ensure safety;
- a flat, stable and vibration-free floor surface, with sufficient load bearing capacity for the equipment’s weight.
If the equipment is to be installed in a public recreation area, the place of installation must comply with all the requirements of the
regulations currently in force.
WARNINGS
The equipment must be installed and used in a place where access and supervision are specifically controlled by the
owner.
When installing the equipment, use suitable personal protective equipment.

Fitting the number holder
The number holder must be fixed immediately underneath the top: standing facing
the equipment, attach the number holder on the left, on the cover of guide rail (A).
Find the place where the two screws (B) are to be inserted.
Attach the number holder using the two screws; the pressure used to tighten the
screws is enough to open the holes provided in the cover.
The number holder is optional.

Lifting and moving the equipment
Snap-on castors (optional) must be used to move the equipment.
WARNING
Move the equipment very carefully, because it may become unstable
and tip over.
The castors for moving the equipment snap on under the feet of the equipment,
after it has been raised, and are held in place by the special straps.
Raise the equipment on the weight stack side, using a pallet truck or fork-lift
truck; and for greater safety place a wedge under the frame to keep the equipment
raised.
Insert the two fixed castors first on one side and then on the other side of the
weight stack: fit castor stems (A) into the holes provided under the equipment
feet, then push hard until they snap in.
WARNINGS
We recommend placing padded material between the frame and the
wedge and between the frame and the machinery used to lift it.
The fixed castors must always be placed underneath the weight stack.

Proceeding in the same way, lift the equipment on seat side and insert the swivel
castor.
Lastly, lift the equipment again, remove the safety wedges and place the wheels
on the floor.
WARNINGS
When moving the equipment, we recommend pushing it only from the
weight stack side, and not from any other side.
When lifting the equipment, do not exert pressure against the weight
stack guard.
Do not use the equipment with the castors fitted. The castors are to
be used only for moving the equipment and must be removed before
exercising on it.

Routine maintenance
WARNINGS
The safety of the equipment is assured only on the condition that it is carefully inspected every two weeks for any signs
of damage and/or wear.
Replace defective and worn components immediately, or alternatively remove the equipment from service.
The equipment should always be kept clean and free of dust, in compliance with good hygiene practice, especially if it is used in a
gym or by more than one person.
Use a moist cloth or a sponge and mild soap to clean the padded parts.
Wipe the outside of the equipment every week using a damp sponge.
Do not use chemicals or solvents.
WARNING
Be careful not to rub too hard on the drawings and instructions shown on the labels.
To oil the weight stack guide rails:
- remove the protective panel covering the weight stack, following the instructions found in the paragraph headed Removing the
front weight stack panel;
- use a soft cloth to remove any dust and oil residues from the guide rails;
- slightly moisten the cloth with the oil supplied in the optional Basic Box kit;
- using this cloth, apply a very thin layer of lubricant over the guide rails, taking care not to apply too much;
- refit the protective panel on the weight stack.
Call in the Technogym Technical Support Service for instructions on any maintenance operations not described in this manual.
