IMPORTANT

Now that the V5A machine is completely assembled, take time to ensure that your unit is assembled square and perpendicular. To check this, use a Level to check that the guide rods are perpendicular in both directions. If they are not perpendicular in both directions, it will be necessary to loosen some Frame hardware to realign the Frame and retighten bolts.

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.

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 re-tightening 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.

Belts and Cables:

  • Hoist uses only high-quality belts and mil-spec cables.
  • Visually inspect the belts and cables for fraying, cracking, peeling, or discoloration.
  • While the machine is not in use, carefully run your fingers along the belt or cable to feel for thinning or bulging areas.
  • Replace belts and cables immediately at the first signs of damage or wear. Do not use the equipment until belts or cables have been replaced.

Belt and Cable Tension:

  • Referring to the Owner’s Manual, when belts or cables are used, check all bolt attachments to be sure they are properly attached.
  • Check slack in cables and re-adjust cable tension if needed.

Seat Sleeves, Guide Rods:

  • Wipe down adjusting tubes with a dust-free rag before applying lubricant.
  • Lubricate seat sleeves and guide rods with a Silicon or Teflon-based lubricant spray.

Linear Bearings:

Referring to the 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.

WEIGHT TRAINING TIPS

Always consult your physician before starting any exercise program.

To be successful in your exercise program, it is important to develop an understanding of the basic principles of strength training.

Now that you have your V5 HOIST® Fitness System, it is only natural that you want to get started immediately. First, determine a set of realistic goals and objectives for yourself. By deciding on an exercise plan that is right for you prior to starting, you will contribute significantly to your success.

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.

Use this manual to guide you through the basic exercises you can perform on your V5 machine. To gain maximum results and avoid possible injury, consult a fitness professional to develop your complete exercise program.
