GENERAL CARE AND MAINTENANCE
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. Be certain that you use only Paramount provided replacement parts when
servicing this equipment.
1. Cable Ends: Inspect end fittings daily for wear. Replace cables at the first sign of wear and on an
annual basis. Be certain that the cable locking nut is tight at threaded cable fitting connections.
2. Nuts, Bolts, and Fasteners: Check tightness weekly. If any hardware has become loose, retighten
and/or use Loctite
TM
brand Threadlocker 242.
3. Frames: Wipe all machines down with a damp cloth and dry completely each day. This includes
painted parts, chrome parts and upholstered pads.
4. 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.
5. Weight stack enclosures (shrouds): Wipe down with a damp cloth as needed.
6. Exercise instruction labels: Clean with soap and water as needed.
7. Guide rods: Wipe all dirt and dust from the guide rods before applying a light application of Tri-
Flow
TM
or other teflon spray lubricant. Spray the Tri-Flow
TM
on a rag and then wipe the guide rods
with the rag. DO NOT use oil lubricants such as WD-40. Caution: Tri-Flow
TM
will stain carpet and
clothing.
8. Bronze bushings: Check monthly for signs of wear and replace as needed. Lubricate monthly with
Tri-Flow
TM
.
9. Please refer to the General Maintenance Manual (part number: AM-GMM) for other important
safety and maintenance information.
10. Be sure all hardware is tight before using the machine.
11. When replacing any component, use only Paramount supplied parts.
I NSTALLATION G UIDELINES
• 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.
• If the machine is placed in an open room, leave at least 2 feet [60 cm] of clearance around the
machine.
• Install the machine on a solid, level surface as defined and required by local building and
architectural codes.
• This machine has provisions to allow it to be anchored to the floor. If you choose to anchor it to
the floor, consult a qualified, licensed contractor to perform the installation due to the wide
variation of flooring available. Use a fastener system that will provide a minimum of 500 lbs of
pull out force using 3/8” hardware.

6
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.
Lower weight stack momentum translates to smoother and more consistent resistance
feel when performing burst or ballistic movements.
• (12) weight stack settings. Pull force increments are 5.0lbs [2.3 kg].
• 65 lb. [29.5 kg.] max resistance at cable end (per handle).
• Cable travel is 6.4 feet (77 inches)[194 cm.] per handle.
• Machine weight = 553 lbs. [251 kg.]
• Floor loading = 44 lbs/ft
2
[211 kg/m

]
• 20 vertical arm adjustments labeled “A” through “T”.
• 14 horizontal arm adjustments labeled “1” through “14”

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.
