4. Operating Instructions

The R7 Nemesis offers a variety of exercise options. Familiarize yourself with each component before beginning your workout.

4.1 Squat Rack and Free Weight Exercises

• J-Hooks: Insert the J-hooks into the desired height holes on the uprights. Ensure both hooks are at the same height and fully seated.
• Spotter Arms: For safety, always position the spotter arms below your lowest squat or bench press point. Insert them into the uprights and secure them.
• Barbell Placement: Carefully load your barbell onto the J-hooks.

4.2 Multipress (Smith Machine)

• Engaging the Bar: The multipress bar moves along guided rails. To unlock, rotate the bar slightly to disengage the safety catches.
• Safety Catches: Always re-engage the safety catches by rotating the bar back into the locked position when resting or finishing a set.
• Adjustable Stops: Utilize the adjustable safety stops on the multipress rails to prevent the bar from descending too low.

4.3 Weight Stack and Pulley System

• Weight Selection: Insert the selector pin into the desired weight plate on the stack. Ensure the pin is fully inserted.
• Attachments: Connect various cable attachments (e.g., lat bar, rope handle) to the carabiner on the cable end.
• Smooth Movement: Perform exercises with controlled movements to prevent sudden jerks on the cables and pulleys.

4.4 Pull-Up Bar

• The pull-up bar is offset forward, allowing for various grip positions. Ensure a secure grip before performing pull-ups.

4.5 Deadlift Station

• The deadlift station features safety straps. Position your barbell on these straps to absorb impact and reduce noise when lowering the weight.
