Identification of the manufacturer and equipment The equipment and manufacturer identification plate, placed behind the backrest, gives the following details: A Manufacturer's name and address B CE Mark C Serial number D Maximum user weight E Equipment classification F Consultation of user manual required Chest Incline...
Description of the equipment A Seat: where the user sits to perform the exercise. Its position can be adjusted using lever (E). B Levers: operated by the user by means of the handgrips (F) (two fixed with indentations for the fingers; two rotating). C Weight stack: the levers (B), operated by the user, move the weights along two guides by means of a cable.
Safety devices and warnings The maximum user weight is 180 kg (396 lb). The equipment has no sharp corners. All parts which come into contact with the user's body are suitably protected with rubber coverings or padding. The weight stack is covered on the outside by protective panels. Pay particular attention to the parts of the equipment with labels indicating “BEWARE OF CRUSHING”.

Lifting and moving the equipment Snap-on castors (optional) must be used to move the equipment. WARNING Move the equipment very carefully, because it may become unstable and tip over. The castors for moving the equipment snap on under the feet of the equipment, after it has been raised, and are held in place by the special straps.

Lifting and moving the equipment Proceeding in the same way, lift the equipment on the seat side and insert the swivel castors. Lastly, lift the equipment again, remove the safety wedges and place the wheels on the floor. WARNINGS When moving the equipment, we recommend pushing it only from the weight stack side, and not from any other side.

Adjusting the equipment After the equipment has been positioned on the floor, check that it is level. If necessary, use the adjuster screw located under foot (A), clearly indicated by two raised arrows. Raise the equipment and adjust the screw until the equipment is level. WARNING Given the weight of the equipment, we recommend that it should always be lifted by more than one person.
Replacing the padded parts If any of the padding shows signs of wear, especially in the interests of hygiene, we recommend replacing them completely. Handgrips may be removed after unscrewing the screws (A). To replace seats and backrests loosen the screws on the opposite side to the padding.

Storage If the equipment is not expected to be used for a prolonged period, we recommend storing it: in a clean and dry place, covered with a cloth to protect it from dust; in an environment with a temperature between +10°C and +25°C and humidity between 20% and 90%. Use the original packing materials, to better preserve the equipment.
Disposal It is always good practise to ensure that the equipment can never constitute a hazard; therefore do not leave the equipment where children may play with it. Do not dump the equipment in the environment, or in public areas or private areas accessible to the public. The equipment is made from recyclable materials such as steel, aluminium and plastic, which must be disposed of in the manner prescribed by the urban refuse collection regulations in force, by firms specialised in urban and environmental hygiene.
Using the equipment Handgrips (B) should be chest high. Adjust the seat height by sitting on it and lifting lever (A) under the front of the seat. Body weight is sufficient to lower the seat; to raise it, on the contrary, you must stand up. Select the workload with pin (C).

Using the equipment Stretch your arms forward simultaneously, without straining your elbows. Keep your elbows, wrists and shoulders aligned while performing the exercise. Maintain a smooth controlled speed; we recommend a slower speed during the return phase than during the approach phase. Placing your grip closer or wider permits you to vary the trajectory of your arm movements from more convergent to more open exercises.
