Additional assembly information

Weight plate installation

Slide weight plates onto Guide Rod from top to bottom. The deep groove on each weight plate needs to face front and downwards.

Cable installation

Before installing the cables it is important:

• To de-tangle the cables fully.
• To avoid the cable from twisting during transiting over the pulley wheels.

WARNING: A twisted cable in the installation can result in separating the outer protective plastic coating from the inner steel cable.

A twisted cable in the installation can result in the cables to entangle or mall malfunctioning of the weight plates return.

Fixing cable onto Selector Shaft (Fig D-8)

Before fixing the cable onto the selector shaft, all cables should be routed throughout the station first. The locking nut must be turned up fully as well.

• Fit the threaded cable end into the selector shaft by turning it in clockwise direction as far as possible.
• Secure the fixation by turning the locking nut in clockwise direction firmly.

WARNING: All cables with threaded adjustable ends must have at least 1/2" of the treads threaded in to its counter part. It is very important that the jam nut be wrenched tightened to the counter part to ensure that the threaded adjustable end of the cable does not back out of its counterpart.

Correct cable tension

The correct cable tension is where the weight stack returns smoothly, keeping a loose cable tension when weight stack is in rest position. There should be hardly a non tension moment when starting a workout using the weight stack as load.

When weight selector pin can not smoothly fix the required weight load because selector shaft is slightly lifted when selector pin is out, the cable tension should be loosened.

Cable Tension Adjustment

Adjust the tension of the Cable System by moving the position of lower Pulley on the two Double Floating Pulley Brackets.

• If the tension is too loose, move the lower pulley up by one hole.
• If the tension is too tight, move the lower pulley down by one hole.

The correct cable tension is when:

• All weight plates are all correctly stacked on top of each other.
• The weight selector can easily lock and unlock all selectable weights.
• Cable stoppers do not hang too loosely in their starting position.

Due to normal wear of the cable it can stretch out slightly over time. Also the weight plate buffers can be compressed a little. Therefore readjusting the cable might be required after a period of use. This strongly depend on the usage, and total cable length.

Fasten Nuts and Bolts

To prevent mounted frame parts from not being correctly aligned, it is advisable to complete the first subsequent steps before fully tightening nuts and bolts. This provides space to reposition previously mounted parts, allowing the overall assembly to proceed more smoothly. Therefore it advisable to follow up on the below instructions.

Securely tighten all Nuts and Bolts after all components have been assembled in current and previous steps.

Do not over tighten any component with pivoting function.

Make sure all pivoting components are able to move freely.

Do not tighten all Nuts and Bolts in this step.

IMPORTANT: Because your trainer will/ can set in the first using hours, we recommend you do a quick check on the hardware you have fitted during your assembly. We suggest tightening all bolts and nuts once again after the first few workout sessions (approximate 10 hours). Just to assure the bolts and nuts are still tightened well for your trainer's best performance.

We recommend checking the hardware regularly, at least once every 3 months.

Exercise guidelines

Building Muscle and Gaining Weight

Unlike aerobic exercise, which emphasizes endurance training, anaerobic exercise focuses on strength training. A gradual weight gain can occur while building the size and strength of muscles. While developing muscle mass, your body adapts to the stress placed upon it. You can modify your diet to include foods such as meat, fish and vegetables. These foods help muscles recover and replenish important nutrients after a strenuous workout.

Muscle Strength and Endurance

To achieve the greatest benefit from exercise, it is important to develop an exercise program that allows you to work all of the major muscle groups equally. To increase muscles strength; follow this principle: Increasing resistance and maintaining the number of repetitions of an exercise results in increased muscle strength. To tone your body, follow the principle: Decreasing resistance plus increasing the number of repetitions of an exercise results in increased body tone. Once you feel comfortable with an exercise, you can change the resistance, the number of repetitions, or the speed at which you do the exercise. It is not necessary to change all three variables. For example, let's say that you are training at 10 kg. and performing the exercise 10 times in 3 minutes. When this becomes too easy, you may decide to move up lifting 12 kg. for the same number of repetitions in the same amount of time. Lifting more weights fewer times most often develops muscle strength. To gain both muscle strength and endurance, it is recommended that you perform each exercise 15 to 20 reps per set.

Training Intensity

How hard you begin to train depends on your overall level of fitness. The soreness you experienced can be lessened by decreasing the load you place on your muscles and by performing fewer sets.

To avoid injury, you should gradually work into an exercise program and set the load to your individual fitness level. The load should increase as your fitness level increases.

Muscle soreness is common, especially when you first start exercising. If you are painfully sore for a long time, it may be time to change your program. Eventually, your muscle system will become accustomed to the stress and strain placed on it.

Beginning a Strength Building Program

Warming Up

To begin strength training, it is important to stretch and perform light exercise for 5 to 10 minutes. This helps prepare the body for more strenuous exercise by increasing circulation, raising your body temperature and developing more oxygen to your muscles.

Workout

Each workout to keep in mind that muscle soreness that lasts for a long period in not desirable and may mean that injury has occurred.

Cool Down

At the end of each workout, perform slow stretching exercises for 5 to 10 minutes. Ease into each stretch only going as far as you can. This stage allows your muscles wind down after training.

To provide a total workout program it is also recommended that 2 to 3 days of aerobic exercise is performed in addition to the strength training.

Drinking Water

For the body to function properly, it must be properly hydrated. If you are exercising, you should increase your fluid intake. The reason for this is that the water you take in will leave your system through the sweating mechanism that cools your body during exercise. The water you lose through exercise must be replaced so that the muscles can recover properly.

Rest Day

Although you may not feel like doing it, taking a rest day at least once a week is important because it gives you body a chance to heal it self. Continuously working your muscle will result in over training which will not benefit in the long run.

Cleaning and maintenance

• Inspect and tighten all parts before using the equipment.
• The equipment can be cleaned using a damp cloth and mild non-abrasive detergent. DO NOT use solvents.
• Examine the equipment regularly for signs of damages or wear.
• Replace any defective components immediately and/or keep the equipment out of use until repair.
• Failure to examine regularly may affect the safety level of the equipment.

Lubricate the guide rod(s)

Maintenance plan for regular usage.

• Clean the guide rods surface with a dry cloth to remove possible dirt.
• Apply 2 pearl size drops of the lubricant on each guide rod's surface, one drop close the start and one close to the end of the slider's track.
• Slide the moving slider (weight stack) up and down a few times to spread the lubricant evenly.
• Repeat these steps on a 3-months interval.

Squeaking noise - When sliding parts are making noise during sliding movement, apply the lubricant on each guide rod's surface immediately.

CAUTION: We recommend to use the lubricant that came with the product only (silicon based).

Do not apply too much lubricant or wipe off redundant lubricant with a clean cloth as too much lubricant can cause carpet stain or dirt particle.

Lubricate moving parts

• Clean the moving part and its track surface with a dry cloth to remove possible dirt.
• Apply 2 pearl size drops of lubricant on the moving part directly and move the moving part to it's maximum and minimal adjustment setting a few times.

CAUTION: We recommend to use a silicon based product only (silicon based).

Defects and malfunctions

Despite continuous quality control, defects and malfunctions caused by individual parts can occur in the equipment. In most cases, it will be sufficient to replace the defective part.

• If the equipment does not function properly, immediately contact the dealer.
• Provide the model number and the serial number of the equipment to the dealer. State the nature of the problem, conditions of use and purchase date.
