S ET UP

Your product comes with:

• Safety Hitch Pin located at the bottom of the Vertical Column, which must be removed prior to unfolding.

• Height Adjustment Quick Release Pin located on back of Vertical Column for raising and lowering rails.

• One (1) Spring Loaded Pin locked into the base of the left rail by the height adjustment tube. Left side is determined

by standing behind the unit facing the Vertical Column.

IMPORTANT:  To Prevent Injury – Be sure the spring-loaded pin is locked securely into place in the left
rail before using unit. This will prevent the height adjustment column from falling forward.

• Safety Pin - located on Lanyard/attached to Height Adjustment Tube.

• One Long Hitch Pin for Leg Pulley Bracket is located in the Miscellaneous Section of Accessory Kit as well as two

Medium Hitch Pins for the Wing Accessory, and 4 Short Hitch Pins for the Press Up Bars and Dip Bars.

IMPORTANT: Before using the Wing Accessory, Leg Pulley Accessory, Press Up Bars and Dip Bars, be
sure the Hitch Pins are securely inserted (see page 8, 9 & 11 of this manual for directions).

• One (1) Bolt and two (2) Weight Clips are located on the Weight Bar.

IMPORTANT: Before using the Weight Bar, be sure the Weight Clips are installed 
(see page 10 of this manual for directions).

1.

Pull the product out of the shipping box. Remove all packaging
materials, including tape and cardboard inserts, from your unit.

2.

Lay product on the floor with glideboard side up. Make sure you have
plenty of space on both ends of the product. Slide the glideboard as far
as it will go towards the Front Crossbar before you begin lifting unit.

3.

Lift the exerciser up by holding it at the top of the rails. Using your foot,
slowly spread the unit open at the bottom approximately 12 inches so
that it rests firmly on the Front and Back Crossbars not allowing it to go
too far.

4.

Make sure the handles are out to the sides before
you begin to unfold your unit. Keep hands and
fingers away from pulley. Hold onto the top center
of glideboard and begin rolling rear rollers. Spread
the unit out until it is flat on the floor. Be careful to
do this slowly.
Be sure to support the frame in the center to
avoid having the product drop suddenly onto 
the floor or pinch fingers.

5.

(a) Remove Safety Hitch Pin from bottom of Vertical Column. Next
remove plastic packing ties from the top and bottom of the Vertical
Column. Pull out the Spring Loaded Pin Knob located at the left rail
(NOTE - pin shown in picture is on right side) to release Spring
Loaded Pin. Continue to hold pin out while performing the next step.
