Assembling the Equipment CAUTION: At least two people are required to position the parts of this equipment successfully. Do not attempt to assemble the equipment by yourself. The following figure shows the names used in this manual for the major components of the equipment. Proper alignment and adjustment of the equipment is critical. When you install fasteners, leave room for adjustments. Do not tighten the fasteners completely until you are instructed to do so.
Stabilizing the Equipment Once you have positioned the base frame where you want the equipment to be used, test it for stability by pushing down on its corners. If the base frame rocks or wobbles at all, the height of the adjustable foot will need to be set. To stabilize the equipment: 1. Locate the round, adjustable foot at one of the corners of the base frame. 4.
Assembling the Main Frame To connect the base frame to the vertical frame: 2. Secure the frames using four M12 x 35 mm socket head cap screws and four 13 mm flat washers. Tighten the fasteners completely. 1. Position the vertical frame on the base frame as shown in the following figure.
Installing the Movement Arm To attach the movement arm to the vertical frame: Before you attach the movement arm to the vertical frame, you must insert an axle. 1. Gently fit the movement arm into the bracket underneath the vertical frame. To insert the axle into the movement arm: 2. Attach the movement arm using two M12 x 35 mm socket head cap screws and two 13 mm flat washers. 1. Slide the axle into the movement arm sleeve.
Installing the Knee Pad Frame Attaching the Stop Arm A small retaining screw holds the knee pad frame in place and a pop pin sets its position. Because both of these parts are installed at the factory, you must move them out of the way to insert the knee pad frame. The stop arm allows a person to sit down in the appropriate position for the exercise and holds the movement arm in a resting position between workouts. To install the knee pad frame: 1. Remove the retaining screw from the movement arm. 2.
Attaching the Weight Horn 3. Insert two M8 x 6 mm set screws into the screw holes on the weight horn fitting. Tighten the set screws completely. Once the stop arm is in place and the movement arm is stable, you can attach the weight horn to the end of the movement arm. To attach the weight horn: 1. Insert the horn into the outward side of the weight horn fitting on the movement arm. Slide the weight horn into the fitting until it stops. 2.
4. Slide the bumper down over the weight horn until it rests against the movement arm.
Installing the Knee and Seat Pads The knee and seat pads on this equipment are attached directly to the movement arm. 3. Hold a knee pad up to the knee pad frame so that its narrow end faces the center post. Insert two ⁵₁₆-inch x 3¹₄-inch screws with 9 mm flat washers through the screw holes on the knee pad frame and into the holes on the knee pad, as shown in the following figure. Tighten the screws completely. To install the pads: 1. Place the seat pad over the four screw holes on the movement arm. 2.
Attaching the Instructional Placard and Safety Labels 2. Place the large hole near the bottom of the placard over the button, then slide the placard downward to lock it into place as shown in the following figure. The equipment includes a metal bracket for the instructional placard. The placard slides over a metal button near the bottom of the bracket. A small screw then holds it in place. To attach the instructional placard: 1. Remove the protective backings from the machine name label.
3. Insert an M8 x 15 mm buttonhead screw with 9mm flat washer into the screw hole near the top of the bracket, as shown in the following figure. Tighten the screw completely. Note: If you are installing labels in a language other than English, remove the general warning label attached to the equipment.
