Step 1

Before beginning assembly, please take the time to read the instructions thoroughly. Please use the catalog in this manual to make sure that all parts have been included in your shipment. When ordering, use the part number and description from the catalog. Use only Hoist replacement parts when servicing. Failure to do so will void your warranty and could result in personal injury.

Hoist equipment is designed to provide the smoothest, most effective exercise motion possible. After assembly, you should check all functions to ensure correct operation. If you experience problems, first recheck the assembly instructions to locate any possible errors made during assembly. If you are unable to correct the problem, call your authorized Hoist dealer.

WEIGHT TRAINING TIPS

• Always consult your physician before starting any exercise program. Hoist equipment is designed to maximize your time spent working out. Having an exercise routine planned out in advance will allow you to get the most benefit out of the time spent exercising and will also enable you to work all the major muscle groups.
• Warm up properly before engaging in weight resistance training. Stretching, yoga, jogging, calisthenics, or other cardiovascular exercise can help prepare your body for the heavier workload of lifting weights.
• Learn how to perform the exercise correctly before using heavy weights. Correct form is important to avoid injury and to ensure that you work the proper muscle groups.
• Know your limitations. If you are new to weight training or are embarking on an exercise regimen after a long layoff, start slowly and build foundational strength over a longer period of time.
• Pay attention to your breathing. Exhale when you exert is a general rule of thumb. Never hold your breath.

GENERAL MAINTENANCE INFORMATION

Links, Pull-Pins, Snap Locks, Swivels, Weight Stack Pins:

• Check all pieces for signs of visible wear or damage.
• Check springs in snap hooks and pull pins for proper tension and alignment.
• If the spring sticks or has lost its rigidity, replace it immediately.

Upholstery:

• To ensure prolonged upholstery life and proper hygiene, all upholstered pads should be wiped down with a damp cloth after every workout.
• Periodically, take the time to use a mild soap or an approved vinyl upholstery cleaner to deter the onset of cracking or drying. Avoid using any abrasive cleaners or cleaners not intended for use on vinyl.
• Replace ripped or worn upholstery immediately.
• Keep sharp or pointed objects clear of all upholstery.

Guide Rods:

• Wipe clean with a dust-free rag. Lubricate once a week with a silicon or Teflon-based lubricant.

Decals:

• Inspect and familiarize yourself with any safety warnings or other user information posted on each decal.

Nuts and Bolts:

• Inspect all nuts and bolts for any loosening and tighten if needed.
• Go through a retightening sequence periodically to ensure that all hardware is tensioned properly.

Anti-Skid Surfaces:

• These surfaces are designed to supply a secure footing and need to be replaced if they appear worn or become slippery.

Cables:

• Hoist uses only aircraft-quality cable, which meets or exceeds military specifications. Although our cables are designed to last for years, to ensure optimum performance and as a routine safety precaution, we recommend that all cables be replaced yearly.
• Visually inspect the cable for fraying, cracking, peeling, or discoloration.
• While the machine is not in use, carefully run your fingers along the cable to feel for thinning or bulging areas.
• Replace cables immediately at the first signs of damage or wear. Do not use the equipment until the cables have been replaced.

Cable Tension:

• Referring to the Assembly/Owner’s Manual, check all cable bolts and attachments to be sure they are properly attached.
• Check slack in cables and readjust cable tension if needed.

Seat Sleeves, Turcite Bushings:

• Wipe down adjusting tubes with a dust-free rag before applying lubricant.
• Lubricate seat sleeves and Turcite bushings with a silicon or Teflon-based lubricant spray.

Linear Bearings:

• Referring to the Assembly/Owner’s Manual, carefully disassemble the bearing from its housing and place a finger full of light grease (lithium, super lube, etc.) into the inside of the bearing. Using your finger, press the grease into the ball bearings and their tracks. Repeat until the ball-bearing tracks are full of grease. Insert the shaft back into the bearing and wipe off excess grease.
