Operating Instructions
Switching Between Abduction and Adduction Modes
The machine features a spring-lock pin mechanism for quick transitions between hip abduction (outer thigh/glutes) and hip adduction (inner thigh) exercises. Locate the red spring-lock pin near the central pivot point.
- To switch modes, pull the spring-lock pin outwards.
- Rotate the leg arms to the desired position:
- Abduction Level: Arms are positioned to allow outward leg movement.
- Min Adduction: Arms are positioned for a narrower starting point for inner thigh work.
- Max Adduction: Arms are positioned for a wider starting point for inner thigh work.
- Release the pin to lock the arms securely in place. Ensure the pin is fully engaged before use.

Adjusting Resistance
The machine includes 6 elastic resistance bands, allowing for adjustable resistance levels of 36 lbs, 72 lbs, and 108 lbs. You can customize your workout intensity by adding or removing bands.
- To increase resistance, attach more elastic bands to the designated hooks.
- To decrease resistance, remove elastic bands.
- Ensure bands are securely attached before beginning your exercise.

Targeting Specific Glute Muscles
The dual foot bar design and adjustable body positioning allow you to target different areas of the glutes (upper, mid, lower) and inner/outer thighs.
- Upper Glutes: Lean slightly forward during abduction movements.
- Mid Glutes: Maintain an upright posture during movements.
- Lower Glutes: Lean slightly back during abduction movements.
- Experiment with different foot and toe positions on the dual foot bars to find optimal muscle engagement.

Comfort and Stability
The machine is designed with cushioned padding for comfort and a stable base for secure workouts.
- The seat and backrest padding distribute pressure evenly.

- Cleaning: Wipe down the machine, especially padded areas, with a damp cloth after each use to remove sweat and dirt. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
- Inspection: Periodically check all bolts, nuts, and connections for tightness. Tighten as necessary.
- Resistance Bands: Inspect resistance bands for any signs of wear, tears, or damage. Replace damaged bands immediately.
- Moving Parts: Ensure the pivot points and moving arms operate smoothly. Apply a small amount of silicone-based lubricant if any squeaking or stiffness occurs.
Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Machine feels unstable or wobbly. | Loose bolts or uneven surface. | Ensure all assembly bolts are securely tightened. Place the machine on a flat, level surface. |
| Squeaking or grinding noise during operation. | Lack of lubrication on moving parts or loose connections. | Apply silicone-based lubricant to pivot points. Check and tighten all bolts. |
| Resistance feels inconsistent or too weak/strong. | Incorrect number of resistance bands attached or damaged bands. | Verify the number of bands attached matches desired resistance. Inspect bands for damage and replace if necessary. |
| Difficulty switching between abduction/adduction modes. | Spring-lock pin not fully disengaged or mechanism is stiff. | Ensure the spring-lock pin is pulled out completely. Apply a small amount of lubricant to the pin mechanism if stiff. |
