HOIST RS-1204 Low Back Professional Strength Machine

Product Information: RS-1204 Low Back

The RS-1204 Low Back is an exercise machine designed to provide a smooth and effective workout. It comes with a weight stack (#2) and cable pulleys. The machine has a frame assembly that needs to be bolted to the exercise floor to prevent tipping, as failure to do so may result in serious injury or death. The machine has various hardware parts that need to be wrench tightened or hand-tightened during assembly for correct operation. The use of HOIST replacement parts during servicing is recommended to avoid voiding the warranty and causing personal injury.

Product Usage Instructions

Before using the RS-1204 Low Back, ensure that it is properly assembled, and all functions are correctly operational. If you experience any problems, check the assembly instructions to locate any possible errors made during assembly, and if unable to correct the problem, call your authorized HOIST dealer with the serial number and manual for assistance.

To use the RS-1204 Low Back, ensure that you have read and understood the warning on tipping before proceeding. Once confirmed, sit on the machine with your back against the backrest and your feet flat on the footplates. Adjust the seat height so that your knees are at a 90-degree angle, and your thighs are parallel to the ground.

Grasp the handles with your arms extended straight, and slowly pull the handles towards your body while exhaling. Hold this position for a few seconds, then slowly release the handles back to the starting position while inhaling. Repeat this movement for several repetitions, ensuring that you maintain proper form throughout the exercise.

After use, wipe down the machine with a clean cloth and store it in a safe dry place.

INSTRUCTIONS

Before beginning assembly please take the time to read the instructions thoroughly. Please use the various lists in this manual to make sure that all parts have been included in your shipment. When ordering, use the part numbers and descriptions from the lists. Use only HOIST replacement parts when servicing. Failure to do so will void your warranty and could result in personal injury.

HOIST equipment is designed to provide the smoothest, most effective exercise motion possible. After assembly, you should check all functions to ensure correct operation. If you experience problems, first recheck the assembly instructions to locate any possible errors made during assembly. If you are unable to correct the problem, call your authorized HOIST dealer. Be sure to have your serial number and this manual when calling. When all parts have been accounted for, continue on.

GENERAL MAINTENANCE INFORMATION

Links, Pull-Pins, Snap Hooks, Swivels, Weight Stack Pins:

• Check all pieces for signs of visible wear or damage.
• Check springs in snap hooks and pull-pins for proper tension and alignment.
• If the spring sticks or has lost its rigidity, replace it immediately.

Upholstery:

• To ensure prolonged upholstery life and proper hygiene, all upholstered pads should be wiped down with a damp cloth after every workout.
• Periodically take the time to use a mild soap or an approved vinyl upholstery cleaner to deter the onset of cracking or drying. Avoid using any abrasive cleaners or cleaners not intended for use on vinyl.
• Replace ripped or warn upholstery immediately.
• Keep sharp or pointed objects clear of all upholstery.

Decals:

• Inspect and familiarize yourself with any safety warnings or other user information posted on each decal.

Nuts and Bolts:

• Inspect all nuts and bolts for any loosening and tighten if needed.
• Go through a re-tightening sequence periodically to ensure that all hardware is tensioned proper.

Anti-Skid Surfaces:

• These surfaces are designed to supply secure footing and need to be replaced if they appear worn or become slippery.

Belts and Cables:

• Hoist uses only high-quality belt, and mil-spec cables.
• Visually inspect the belts and cables for fraying, cracking, peeling or discoloration.
• While the machine is not in use, carefully run your fingers along the belt or cable to feel for thinning or bulging areas.
• Replace belts and cables immediately at the first signs of damage or wear. Do not use equipment until belts or cables have been replaced.

Linear Bearings:

• Referring to the Owners Manual carefully disassemble the bearing from its housing and place a finger full of light grease (lithium, super lube, etc.) into the inside of the bearing.

WEIGHT TRAINING TIPS

• Use this manual to guide you through the basic exercises you can perform on your RS-1204 HOIST® Fitness System. To gain maximum results and avoid possible injury, consult a fitness professional to develop your complete exercise program.
• Always consult your physician before starting any exercise program.
• To be successful in your exercise program, it is important to develop an understanding of the basic principles of strength training. Now that you have your RS-1204 HOIST® Fitness System, it is only natural that you want to get started immediately. First, determine a set of realistic goals and objectives for yourself. By deciding on an exercise plan that is right for you prior to starting, you will contribute significantly to your success.
