POWERLINE PLP9-20 Leg Press Attachment

Before You Begin

Thank you for purchasing the Powerline Leg Press. This piece is part of the Powerline line of quality strength training machines, which let you target speciﬁc muscle groups to achieve better muscle tone and overall body conditioning.

Unpacking the Equipment
The Powerline Leg Press is carefully tested and inspected before shipment. We have shipped the unit in several pieces that require assembly. Ask for assistance during the assembly process. Carefully unpack the boxes and lay the pieces on the ﬂoor near the area where you plan to use the equipment. When you attach the Leg Press attachment, leave all nuts and bolts hand tight, until the last step is complete. Then go back and wrench tighten all nuts and bolts. Be careful to assemble all components in the sequence presented in this guide. If any items are missing, contact the dealer from whom you purchased the unit or call Body-Solid Customer Service at 1-800-833-1227.

CAUTION: To set up this unit, you will need assistance. You must review and follow the instructions in this Owner’s Manual. If you do not assemble and use according to these guidelines, you could void the Powerline warranty.

CAUTION: Obtain assistance. Review the Installation Requirements before proceeding with the following steps.

Installation Requirements:
Set up on a solid, ﬂat surface. A Smooth, ﬂat surface under the machine helps keep it level. A level machine has fewer malfunctions. Provide ample space around the machine. Open space around the machine allows for easier access.

NOTE: With so many assembled parts, proper alignment and adjustment is critical. While tightening the nuts and bolts, be sure to leave room for adjustments. Insert all bolts in the same direction. For aesthetic purposes, insert all bolts in the same direction unless speciﬁed (in text or illustrations) to do otherwise. Leave room for adjustments. Tighten fasteners such as bolts, nuts, and screws so the unit is stable, but leave room for adjustments. Do not fully tighten fasteners until instructed in the assembly steps to do so. Fill out and mail warranty card.

Safety Guidelines

Successful resistance training programs have one prominent feature in common…safety. Resistance training has some inherent dangers, as do all physical activities. The chance of injury can be greatly reduced or completely removed by using correct lifting techniques, proper breathing, maintaining equipment in good working condition, and by wearing the appr opriate clothing.

It is highly recommended that you consult your physician before beginning any exercise program. This is especially important for individuals over the age of 35, or persons with pre-existing health problems.
Always warm up before starting a workout. Try to do a total body warm-up before you start. It is especially important to warm up the speciﬁc muscle groups you are going to be using. This can be as simple as performing a warm-up set of high repetitions and lightweight for each exercise.
Use proper form. Focus on only working the muscle groups intended for the exercise you are doing. If there is strain elsewhere, you may need to
re-evaluate the amount of weight that is involved with the lift. Keeping proper form also includes maintaining control through an entire range of motion.
Breath properly. Inhale during the eccentric phase of the exercise, and exhale during the lifting, or concentric phase. Never hold your breath during any part of an exercise.
Always wear the appropriate clothing and shoes when exercising. Wearing comfortable athletic shoes with good support and suitable, breathable clothing will reduce the risk of injury.
Maintaining equipment in proper operating condition is of utmost importance for a safe resistance training program. Pulleys and cables should be checked for wear frequently and replaced as needed. Equipment should be lubricated as indicated by the manufacturer.
Read and study all warning labels on this machine. You must familiarize yourself and all others with the proper operation of this machine before use.
Keep hands, limbs, loose clothing and long hair well out of the way of all moving parts.
Do not attempt to lift more weight than you can control safely.
Inspect the machine daily for loose or worn parts. If a problem is found do not allow the machine to be used until all parts are tightened or worn or defective parts are repaired or replaced.
