Before You Start

Consult a physician before you start an exercise program. Stop exercising if you feel pain or tightness in your chest, become short of breath,
or feel faint. Contact your doctor before you use the machine again. Use the values calculated or measured by the machine's computer for
reference purposes only.

fitness machine in your workout area.

Place the machine on a clean, hard, level surface, free from unwanted material or other objects that may hamper your ability to move freely. A
rubber mat can be used below the machine to prevent the release of static electricity and protect your flooring.
The machine can be moved by one or more persons. Make sure that your own physical strength is capable of safely moving the machine.
2. Adjust the intensity settings on the Hydraulic Cylinders.
Note: Initially, the settings on each cylinder should match. Begin with each cylinder set to the central, white dot on the dial.

sion cord must be used, be sure it is a heavy duty model, rated for 15A.
Put the power cord alongside the machine, out of your way when you dismount the machine. Avoid stepping on the power cord and plug.
