Important Safety Instructions for Using the Equipment

Before beginning any fitness program, you should obtain a complete physical examination from your physician. When using exercise equipment, you should always take basic precautions, including the following:

Read all instructions before using the Zuma equipment. These instructions are written to ensure your safety and to protect the unit.
Do not allow children on or near the equipment.
Use the equipment only for its intended purpose as described in this guide. Do not use accessory attachments that are not recommended by the manufacturer: such attachments might cause injuries.
Wear proper exercise clothing and shoes for your workout—no loose clothing.
Use care when getting on or off the unit.
Do not overexert yourself or work to exhaustion.
If you feel any pain or abnormal symptoms, stop your workout immediately and consult your physician.
Never operate the unit when it has been dropped or damaged. Return the equipment to a service center for examination and repair.
Never drop or insert objects into any opening. Keep your hands away from moving parts.
Always check the unit and its cables before each use. Make sure that all fasteners and cables are secure and in good working condition.
Do not use outdoors.

Personal Safety During Assembly

It is strongly recommended that a qualified dealer assemble the equipment. Assistance is required.
Read each step in the assembly instructions and follow the steps in sequence. Do not skip ahead. If you skip ahead, you may learn later that you have to disassemble components and that you may have damaged the equipment.
Assemble and operate the Zuma on a solid, level surface. Locate the unit a few feet from the walls or furniture to provide easy access.
The Zuma is designed for your enjoyment. By following these precautions and using common sense, you will have many safe and pleasurable hours of healthful exercise with your new equipment.

Before You Begin

Thank you for purchasing the Zuma. This unit is part of the Pacific Fitness line of quality strength training machines, which let you target specific muscle groups to achieve better muscle tone and overall body conditioning. To maximize your use of the equipment, please study this guide thoroughly.

Unpacking the Equipment

The Zuma is carefully tested and inspected before shipment. Pacific Fitness ships the unit in several pieces that require assembly. Ask for assistance during the assembly process.

Review the Installation Requirements found on the next page.
When instructed to open a box, carefully unpack the pieces and lay them on the floor near the location where you plan to use the equipment. Be careful to open boxes and assemble components in the sequence presented in this manual. If any items are missing, contact the dealer from whom you purchased the unit or call 1-800-4-PRECOR for the dealer nearest you.

Optional Equipment

The Leg Press and Multi-Hip Options expand the workout options for the Zuma. You can purchase this equipment through your dealer.

Preparations

CAUTION: To set up this unit, you will need assistance. Do not attempt assembly by yourself. You must review and follow the instructions in this guide. If you do not assemble and use the Zuma according to the following guidelines, you could void the Precor limited warranty.

Required Tools

The tools that you need to obtain before assembling the unit include:

½-inch socket wrench
⁹⁄₁₆-inch socket wrench
¾-inch socket wrench
⁹⁄₁₆-inch box wrench
¾-inch box wrench
Adjustable pliers or a crescent wrench
Standard set of metric hex keys
Rubber mallet
Step stool

Installation Requirements

Follow these installation requirements when assembling the unit:

Fill out and mail the limited warranty card. The warranty card is found on the back cover of this guide.
Set up the Zuma on a solid, flat surface. A smooth, flat surface under the unit helps keep it level. A level unit has fewer malfunctions.
Provide ample space around the machine. Open space around the machine allows for easier access.
Insert all bolts in the same direction. For aesthetic purposes, insert all the bolts in the same direction unless specified (in text or illustrations) to do otherwise.
Leave room for adjustments. Tighten fasteners (such as bolts, nuts, and screws), so the unit is stable, but leave room for adjustments. Do not fully tighten fasteners until instructed (in the steps) to do so.

Assembly Tips

A scale is provided at the bottom of every assembly instruction page. Use this scale to identify the correct size bolts and spacers. The head of a bolt is not used in measuring the length of a bolt.
Note: A few of the bolts used to assemble the Zuma are longer than 6 inches. You may want to use a measuring tape to identify the correct sizes accurately. To find out the length of a particular bolt, measure its shank (the long, narrow part beneath the head). Refer to the following diagram:
Read all caution notes on each page before completing that step.
Some pieces have extra holes that you will not use. Use only those holes indicated in the instructions and illustrations.
While you may be able to assemble the Zuma by reading the illustrations only, refer to the text for important safety cautions and notes.

Assembly Instructions

The assembly of the Zuma takes professional installers about 1 hour to complete. If this is the first time you have assembled this type of equipment, plan on significantly more time. Professional installers are highly recommended! However, if you acquire the appropriate tools, obtain assistance, and follow the assembly steps sequentially, the process will take time, but it is fairly easy.

CAUTION: Obtain assistance! Do not attempt to assemble the Zuma by yourself. Review the Installation Requirements on page 6 before proceeding with the following steps. The Zuma comes in two boxes. (See the figure at the right.) Be careful to open boxes and assemble components in the sequence presented in this guide.

Note: With so many assembled parts, proper alignment and adjustment are critical. While tightening the nuts and bolts, ensure that you leave room for future adjustments. Do not fully tighten bolts until instructed to do so.

- B. Place one Guide Rod Spacer and one Weight Cushion on each Guide Rod and allow it to slide down to the top of the Main Base.
- C. Add the fifteen 10-lb weights. Note the tab location for the weight decals (you will attach the decals later). Hold your finger over the plastic bushing in each weight to prevent the bushing from popping out.
