NOTE: The pulleys on this diagram are numbered to make the installation of new cables as easy as possible. Simply start threading the cables through the pulleys
beginning with the lowest number and working up. If you are installing an entire set of cables, start at pulley #1. If you are installing only one cable, you would begin
at the pulley with the lowest number associated with that cable. Two of the cables are identical (both PN 64800), differing onl
y in that one is installed on the right
and one on the left. The pulleys associated with these cables are #6 through #11, and are designated with an R or L for right and left. (NOTE: Right and Left as used
throughout this manual are based on the viewer’s right and left facing the front of the machine). These two cables have large s
tainless fittings on both ends. To
replace them, it is necessary to remove every pulley except R7 and L7, as the large fitting will not fit around the pulleys in place. In the case of pulleys R7 and L7,
remove the plastic cable keeper behind the pulleys by removing the screw from the top of the machine. This will allow enough room to thread the large fitting.
NOTE: where applicable, text and other drawings in this manual that mention or show pulleys contain corresponding numbers.

T
he Vectra VFT
-100 is designed to provide years of trouble-free service with
minimal routine maintenance. You can be confident of continued top quality performance
by carrying out the following periodic inspection.
PERFORM THE FOLLOWING SAFETY CHECK DAILY:
1.
Inspect cables, cable ends and nylon jacket very carefully. Refer to W
arning Label
for specific information on inspecting cables. This same information is repeated
in this manual and on your exercise chart.
Replace any damaged or worn cables.
Annual cable replacement (semiannual in multi-user settings) is strongly
recommended as an additional precaution. The rate at which cables wear depends
on many factors including: repetitions, weight setting, misuse, abuse, etc. Because
of this, periodic cable replacement is not a sufficient safeguard against unexpected
breakage. Nothing short of a thorough, careful daily inspection constitutes an
adequate safety program.
PERFORM THE FOLLOWING CHECKS WEEKLY:
1.
Inspect frame and pulley bolts for tightness. Tighten if necessary
.*
2.
Inspect cable attachments (short and long single handles, double handles, lat
or curl bars, ankle strap, foot strap, triceps strap, sport handles such as racquet
sports, golf, or baseball, ab strap, squat attachment, etc.) carefully. Look for
damaged mounting eyes, springs, latches, etc. Inspect the webbing for fraying
and check that the stitching is intact and strong. Inspect all joints, fixed and
pivoting. Make sure any bolts are tight and that all retaining rings are intact and
in good condition. Inspect any bearings. Replace any damaged or worn items.
3.
Inspect weight selector pin for proper fit and retention in selector shaft. Replace
improperly functioning pin (or other stack components) with Vectra replacement
parts only.
4.
Inspect pulley arm adjustment lever for proper function. Ensure that latch pin is
engaging each position fully. Replace improperly functioning parts with V
ectra
replacement parts only.
5.
Inspect pulley arm mounting screws for tightness. Tighten if necessary
.* Inspect
all springs, including pulley arm counter balance springs to make sure they are
in good condition and working properly. Replace any missing, damaged or worn
springs with Vectra replacement parts only
.
6.
Inspect bench bolts. Tighten if necessary
.* Inspect bench wheels, wheel suspension
pivots, retaining rings, spring, and braking features for proper function. Replace
any damaged or malfunctioning parts.
7.
Inspect leg developer mounting screws, pivots, bearings, and spring for tightness
and/or proper function. Replace any damaged or malfunctioning parts.
8.
Inspect cushion bolts for tightness. Tighten if necessary
.* Inspect cushion support
structure, pivots, and associated latches. Remedy any problems found using
Vectra replacement parts only
.
9.
Inspect all molded parts such as pulleys, nylon bushings and cable stops. Make
sure all are intact, undamaged and secure. Replace any parts that are missing,
worn or damaged.
10. Inspect cable retaining plugs and spring plungers. Replace if needed using V
ectra
replacement parts only.
11. Inspect pulley pivots, retainers, axles, bushings, attachment points, and rotation
limiters. Remedy any problems found using Vectra replacement parts only
.
12. Inspect non-slip tread. Inspect rubber feet on frame and bench. Remedy any
problems found using Vectra replacement parts only
.
13. Adjust cable system tension if necessary (see assembly instructions for details).

Safety Rules
Introduction
Routine Inspection
& Maintenance
Owner’s Manual
WARNING:
Serious injury can occur if you are struck by falling weights or moving parts. The risk that
you assume by using this type of equipment can be reduced by obeying a few simple rules:
1.
IMPORTANT
:
Cables are wear items. It is your responsibility to prevent unexpected
breakage. To do this, inspect every cable daily
. Pay particular attention to areas near
the fittings at each end of each cable. Access panels are provided for this purpose.
Replace worn, frayed, or damaged cables immediately. The actual wire strands, the
fittings and the nylon jacket itself must all be scrutinized. Using or allowing a machine
to be used with a suspect cable can result in serious injury.
2. Inspect the nylon jacket of each cable carefully, again paying particular attention to the
cable ends. This nylon jacket is essential for cable life and safety. Any cable should be
replaced if the nylon jacket is missing, is damaged in any way, has pulled or shrunk
away from the fittings at the end of the cable, or is discolored. DISCOLORATION,
DARKENING OR BULGING OF THE JACKET IS AN EARLY INDICA
TION OF INTERNAL PROBLEMS
SUCH AS WEAR OR FRAYING.
3. Read and follow all instructions in your Owner’s Manual, the labels on the product and
on your exercise chart. Additional copies are available from Vectra Fitness, Inc. or your
dealer. Do not use this machine until you have taken the time to become completely
familiar with its safe operation.
4. Consult your physician before beginning your exercise program.
5. Do not allow young children to use or play with or around this machine. Allow older
children to use the machine only with adult supervision.
6. Keep body, hair and clothing clear of weights and moving parts at all times. Keep fingers
clear of moving parts while making adjustments.
7. Inspect the gym for loose or worn parts; damaged, frayed or worn cables, broken weight
plates, etc. Do not use or allow the machine to be used until any defective parts are
repaired or replaced. Refer to the “Routine Inspection and Maintenance” section of this
manual for specific inspection rules. Use only Vectra authorized replacement parts.
8. Ensure that the weight selector pin is in good working condition and fully engaged in
the selector shaft prior to lifting. Use only the Vectra supplied pin or a V
ectra authorized
replacement.
9. Ensure that the locking mechanisms are properly engaged prior to lifting. Locking
mechanisms secure the following in position during use: seat pads, accessory items
such as squat attachments and lat hold downs, cable attachments, press arms, leg
developers, etc. An improperly engaged locking mechanism could result in an injury.
10.Obtain assistance to free jammed weight plates, pulleys, etc. Do not attempt to free
jammed weight plates by yourself. Falling weight plates can cause serious injury. Do
not pin the weight stack or top plate in an elevated position and do not use the machine
if found in this condition.
11. Do not drop the weight plates. Lift only as much weight as you can control safely. Never
use dumbbells or other means to incrementally increase the weight resistance. Use only
those means provided by Vectra. Don’t be careless, stay alert.
12.
Serious injury could result if equipment moves while in use. To prevent this, ensure that
the floor is even, strong and not too slippery. If equipment slides too easily on floor
,
place equipment on rubber matting. Errors in lifting form could also result in bench
moving in use. To prevent this, lift weight vertically only and do not push horizontally
with your feet while lifting.
Replace any warning or caution labels on product if damaged, illegible or removed.
