SAFETY
FACILITY AND USER SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
1. Review and understand all of the warning labels affixed to this machine and on the facility
safety sign.
2. Be certain that the machine operation is understood before it is used. Refer to the
instructional Procedure Label affixed to the machine.
3. Make sure all users are properly trained on how to use this equipment. If this machine is
being used in a commercial setting, end users may not have access to this Owners Manual. It
is the responsibility of the facility to instruct users as to the proper usage of the equipment as
well as making them aware of potential hazards. Maximum user weight is 300 lbs (136 kg).
4. Use each machine only for the intended exercise. Do not allow anyone to invent exercises not
included on the Instructional Procedure Label or the Intended Use Label.
5. Do not modify the machine.
6. This equipment meets industry safety standards for stability when used for the intended
exercise. Do not allow straps, resistance bands or other means to be attached to the
framework of this machine to perform stretching or body weight exercises. This can result in
machine instability and lead to serious crushing injuries.
7. Keep children away from this equipment. Adults should closely supervise use by teenagers.
8. It is recommended that users receive a thorough medical exam before commencing an
exercise program. All medical issues should be reviewed to ensure that weight training will
not aggravate pre-existing medical conditions.
9. If the machine appears damaged or inoperable, contact a facility staff member to place an
“OUT OF ORDER, DO NOT USE” sign on the machine until it is repaired. Only use Paramount
supplied replacement components to service this machine.
10. Instruct users not to wear loose or dangling clothes or have headphone wires hanging when
using this equipment.
11. Do not attempt to free any jammed assemblies by yourself as this may cause injury.
12. On Plate Loaded and Free Weight machines:
12a. Use of spotter(s). Instruct users to seek the advice of the facility staff as to the
appropriate use of spotters when lifting. More then one spotter may be required
depending upon the amount of weight being lifted.
12b. Instruct users to load weight plates evenly and carefully (one side and then the other)
to avoid tipping equipment and crushing injuries.
12c. If the machine is equipped with safety stops or catches, inspect them and verify their
proper operation before use and make sure they are securely in place before using or
exiting the machine. Be certain members are instructed on how to operate and adjust
all safety mechanisms.

SAFETY
12d. This equipment is designed for standard olympic size weight plates with a 50mm bore
(1.9”).
12e. Do not exceed the maximum weight capacity of the machine. Maximum plate size is
45 lbs. (25 kg.).
13. On Selectorized and Cable equipped machines:
13a. Do not allow users to perform any exercise by holding the end of the cable and/or the
cable end fitting. Use only appropriate handles or attachments properly connected to
the cable end.
13b. Do not high-pin or double-pin the weight stack. Do not allow the machine to be used if
the top plate or weight stack is pinned in a raised position. Use an assistant and
carefully return the machine to the proper position with the cap plate resting on the top
weight. Inspect the entire length of the cable to ensure that it is properly seated in all
of the pulley grooves.
13c. Do not allow the use of weight plates or dumbbells to be used as a means to add
additional weight to the weight stacks. Use only the Paramount adder weight system
specifically designed for the machine.
INSTALLATION SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
1. Read this Installation Manual entirely before assembling this equipment.
2. Verify that there is adequate space surrounding this piece of equipment for safe access and
operation. Installation must meet ADA requirements for accessibility.
3. Install this piece of equipment on a solid level surface that does not deviate more then 1/8”
over a 10’ distance (or as defined and required by local building and architectural codes.
4. Paramount strongly recommends that all equipment be anchored to the floor to prevent
movement and increase stability.
• Due to the wide variation of flooring on which the unit can be installed, contact a
qualified contractor to determine an appropriate fastening system for your floor.
• Use 3/8” diameter hardware (10 mm) to anchor the machine. Anchors should have a
minimum pull out force of 220 lbs (110 kgs) for each position.
• When attaching the machine to the floor, if there is a gap between the machine foot
and the floor, do not use the anchor to remove the gap as this can cause the
machine frame to deform. Instead, place a shim between the bottom of the foot and
the floor, then tighten the anchor.
• Anchoring holes are provided on the feet of the frame. All anchoring locations must
be used when anchoring the equipment to the floor.
5. DO NOT install any fitness equipment near a pool, hot tub or other damp locations. Corrosion
caused by installation in these locations can lead to premature failure of components.
6. Be sure all hardware is tight before using this machine.

GENERAL CARE AND MAINTENANCE
IMPORTANT
Preventative maintenance is crucial to maintaining the function and safety of this equipment. Your
facility must establish written guidelines for preventative maintenance and keep written or online
records of the maintenance performed on these products. As a minimum, the items presented in
the SAFETY section of this document and the items that follow here, should be included in your
maintenance program.
1. Cables: Inspect end fittings daily for wear. Inspect the entire length of the cable weekly.
Replace cables at the first sign of wear and on an annual basis. If the cable tension has
been adjusted, be certain that the cable nut is tight.
2. Nuts, Bolts, and Fasteners: Check tightness weekly. If any hardware has become loose,
retighten and/or use LoctiteTM brand Threadlocker 242. Be sure all hardware is tight
before using the machine.
3. Safety Catches: Inspect catches, stop rods and their associated fasteners weekly. Tighten
any loose hardware and replace any components at first signs of wear.
4. Frames: Wipe all machines down with a damp cloth and dry completely each day. This
includes painted parts, chrome parts and upholstered pads.
5. Painted and chrome plated parts: Use Simple Green or similar cleaner for light dirt and
grime. Use Turtle Wax Polishing Compound or a good car polish to remove heavier dirt
and grease as well as for polishing. DO NOT use solvents, lacquer thinner, acetone or
finger nail polish remover. For scuffs and marks that are not removed by the above
methods use a soft scrub cleanser. Make sure all parts are dry upon completion.
6. Weight stack enclosures (shrouds): Wipe down with a damp cloth as needed.
7. Exercise instruction labels: Clean with soap and water as needed.
8. Guide rods: Wipe all dirt and dust from the guide rods before applying a light application
of Tri-FlowTM or other teflon spray lubricant. Spray the Tri-FlowTM on a rag and then wipe
the guide rods with the rag. DO NOT use oil lubricants such as WD-40. Caution: Tri-FlowTM
will stain carpet and clothing.
9. Bronze bushings: Check monthly for signs of wear and replace as needed.
10. Linear Bearing Shafts: Wipe any accumulation of dust or other contaminants from the
shafts on a weekly basis. Apply a thin layer of a Teflon® (PTFE) grease on a weekly basis.
Paramount recommends Magnalube® brand.
11. When replacing any component, use only Paramount supplied parts.
12. Please refer to the General Maintenance Manual (part number: AM-GMM) for other
important safety and maintenance information.
