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
brand Threadlocker 242. Be sure all hardware is tight
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.
8. 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.
9. Bronze bushings: Check monthly for signs of wear and replace as needed.
10. Linear Bearing Shafts: Wipe any accumulation of dust or other contaminants from the
shafts on a weekly basis. Apply a thin layer of a Teflon
® (PTFE) grease on a weekly basis.
Paramount recommends Magnalube
® brand.
11. When replacing any component, use only Paramount supplied parts.
12. Please refer to the General Maintenance Manual (part number: AM-GMM) for other
