WARNING
Serious injury can occur if 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 a wear item. It is your responsibility to pre-
vent unexpected breakage. To do this, inspect every cable regularly.
Pay particular attention to areas near the fittings at each end of each
cable. Access panels are provided on columns for this purpose. Re-
place worn, frayed, or damaged cables immediately. Using or allowing
a machine to be used with a suspect cable can result in serious injury.
2. Read and follow all instructions in your Owners Manual and on
your exercise chart. Additional copies are available from Vectra Fit-
ness, Inc. or your dealer.
3. Consult your physician before beginning your exercise program.
4. Do not allow young children to use or play with this machine. Allow
older children to use the machine only with adult supervision.
5. Keep head and limbs clear of weights and moving parts at all times.
6. Inspect the gym for loose or worn parts, damaged or frayed 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 inspec-
tion rules.
7. Insure that the weight selector pin is properly engaged in the selector
shaft. Use only the factory supplied pin or a factory authorized replace-
ment.
8. Insure that the locking mechanisms are properly engaged prior to
lifting.
9. 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.
10. Do not drop the weight plates. Lift only as much weight as you can
control safely.

Exercise Program Guidelines
You already know that regular physical exercise is a key element in improving your
general health and strength, raising your mental and physical energy levels, reducing your risk
of cardiovascular disease, and enhancing your appearance. You'll be pleased by the way your
Vectra gym will help you reach your personal fitness goals.
Weight resistance exercise with the On-Line® 1100 offers you many benefits.
Weight settings are easily matched to your goals and fitness level.
Progressive weight increases and regular exercise result in dramatic improvements in
your fitness and appearance.
Ergonomically correct stations enable you to concentrate on specific parts of your
body.
Vectra’s patented On-Line® cable system lets you exercise efficiently. You can do a
workout in just minutes, spending your fitness session exercising without fussing with
your gym.
Vectra's top quality design and construction will provide you with years of professional
level exercise in your own home.
Your first step in getting the most from your On-Line? 1100 is to set up an exercise pro-
gram tailored to your personal fitness objectives.
The following guidelines apply to any exercise program.
First, be sure to consult your physician before beginning your exercise program. This
is especially important if you are planning a rehabilitation program following a serious
injury or illness.
Use your exercise specialty dealer as a resource for information and advice. Your
professional dealer can provide you with reference materials, help you contact sports
clinics and personal trainers, and give you tips on staying motivated and following your
program.
Motivation is key to your success. Do anything you can to make your regular workouts
pleasant and challenging, not just another dull chore. You might set a goal of leg
pressing 20 more pounds in one month. Or try competing with a partner, or keeping a
wall chart showing your progress.
By exercising regularly, you will see a significant improvement in your performance in 4-8
weeks. And that's the best motivation of all!
“No pain, no gain”. Well, not exactly. You should always be aware of the difference
between fatigue and pain. You can expect to feel tired after exercising, but you
should not feel sharp “stabbing” pains. Stop exercising if you experience this exces-
sive pain.
Consult your physician if pain persists.
As with any form of exercise, you should perform a stretching routine before working
out on your Vectra gym. This will help you develop a full range of motion, improve
your joint flexibility, and eliminate the possibility of straining “cold” muscles.
Be sure to breathe properly while you exercise. Your natural tendency is to hold
your breath while lifting weights, which leads to a light-headed, dizzy sensation.
Instead, exhale when lifting the weights and inhale when lowering the weights.
Start your weight training with weights you can lift comfortably and increase the
weight gradually. You'll make quick progress without strain and soreness.
Keep up the good work!
