LEG PULL ACCESSORY

Set-Up

• Your product comes with:
  • Spring Loaded Pin (Black Knob) One pin is located within the black knob on the top rail. Pulling this pin out releases the vertical column allowing it to move freely for folding (breakdown) and unfolding (setup). IMPORTANT: Only pull when folding or unfolding gym.
  • Height Adjustment Quick Release Pin (Color Knob) One pin is located within the color knob on the side of the height adjustment tube. Pulling this knob controls the raising and lowering of the rails. IMPORTANT: Rails are heavy. Always hold top rail with your opposite hand to support weight evenly while adjusting the incline level with the handle.
  • Safety Hitch Pin (on Lanyard) One pin located on the lanyard attached to the height adjustment tube. Insert into the hole on the side of the height adjustment tube before use. Used as a primary safety source if the height adjustment quick-release pin (color knob) is not locked into place. Prevents rails from collapsing and vertical columns from falling forward.
  • Safety Hitch C Pin One c-shaped pin packaged at the bottom of the vertical column upon arrival. Remove and insert the straight end of the pin through the two holes on the side of the vertical column directly below the height adjustment tube. Used as a secondary safety source if the height adjustment quick-release pin (color knob) is not locked into place. Prevents rails from collapsing and vertical columns from falling forward.
  • 1 Long Hitch Pin Used to connect the leg pulley bracket to the top of the vertical column when using the Leg Pull Accessory. Align the bracket with the holes at the top of the column. Be sure the bracket is hooked up. Insert a Large Hitch Pin through the side holes to secure the bracket onto the vertical column.
  • 4 Short Hitch Pins Two pins are used to attach accessories to gym. Two spare pins are provided if misplaced. Place the accessory at the designated area on the gym and insert pins through accessory bracket holes and holes on the gym. Before using the accessories, be sure the proper Hitch Pins are securely inserted (see pages 7-10 of this manual for directions).
  • IMPORTANT: To prevent injury, be sure ALL Safety Locking Pins are secured in place before starting any exercise.

1. Pull the product out of the shipping box. Remove all packaging materials, including tape and cardboard inserts, from your unit.
   • NOTE: Some parts are packed inside the rails.
2. Lay the product on the floor with the glide board side up. Make sure you have plenty of space on both ends of the product. Slide the glide board as far as it will go towards the front crossbar before you begin lifting the unit.
3. Lift the exerciser by holding it at the top of the rails. Using your foot, slowly spread the unit open at the bottom approximately 12 inches so that it rests firmly on the front and back crossbars not allowing it to go too far.
4. Make sure the handles are out to the sides before you begin to unfold your unit. Keep hands and fingers away from the pulley. Hold onto the top center of the glide board and begin rolling rear rollers. Spread the unit out until it is flat on the floor. Be careful to do this SLOWLY. BE SURE TO SUPPORT THE FRAME IN THE CENTER TO AVOID HAVING THE PRODUCT DROP SUDDENLY ONTO THE FLOOR OR PINCH FINGERS.
5. 5A. Next remove plastic packing ties from the top and bottom of the vertical column. Pull out the black Spring Loaded Pin located at the left rail
   • ( NOTE: The pin shown in the picture is on the left side of the unit standing behind it and looking at the back of the vertical column) to release the black Spring Loaded Pin. Continue to hold the pin out while performing the next step.
   • 5B. Take hold of the vertical column and pull it up until it is upright. Release the black Spring Loaded Pin. You should hear it lock back into place.
   • ( NOTE: The pin shown in the picture is on the left side of the unit standing behind it and looking at the back of the vertical column).
   • IMPORTANT: Be sure the black Spring Loaded Pin is locked into place before using your unit. You will know the pin is locked into place when you can see the end protrude through the inside of the rail bracket.
6. Remove packaging from the Safety Hitch C Pin at the bottom of the vertical column. Then remove the Safety Hitch C Pin from holes. Next, position one foot on the back crossbar to keep the product from lifting off the floor. With one hand on either the right or left rail and the other hand pulling the Height Adjustment Quick Release Pinout, slide the rails up along the vertical column to the desired position and release the pin. The pin will lock into place—you will hear a loud click once locked. Last, insert the Safety Hitch Pin (attached with a lanyard to the height adjustment tube) into the hole of the height adjustment tube and through the vertical column.
   • NOTE: Insert Safety Hitch C Pin into side holes located directly below the height adjustment tube on the vertical column.
7. SQUAT STAND ASSEMBLY. Assemble the Squat Stand at the opposite end of the unit by inserting the attachment into the front crossbar receptacles as pictured here. Make sure the accessory is fully inserted. NOTE: Remove Squat Stand from frame when not required for the specific exercise.
8. ADJUSTABLE TRAINING DECK/DEVICE HOLDER ASSEMBLY. Accommodates tablets (horizontal layout only) with 9” max width and mobile devices (vertical layout only) with minimum 4.5” height, maximum 7.25” height.

INSTALLATION

How to Install the AbCrunch Accessory to your Total Gym®

How to Attach the Leg Pull Accessory

1. IMPORTANT THINGS TO REMEMBER WHEN USING THE TOTAL GYM®
   • Always have control of the glideboard before getting on and off the exerciser.
   • Keep your feet on the floor when getting on and off the exerciser. Only remove them from the floor for the duration of the exercise.

3. EXERCISING WITH OPTIONAL ATTACHMENTS
   • When exercising with an optional attachment, make sure the cable/pulley assembly is detached from the hook on the underside of the glide board. Properly attach and secure accessory.
   • Then slide the glide board to a position in which you can comfortably sit or lay down when performing the desired exercise (see the Exercise Guide).

Inspection, Maintenance & Storage

INSPECT YOUR TOTAL GYM® BEFORE EACH USE

• Before using your Total Gym® for your workout session, be sure to make the following inspection:
• Make sure the equipment is fully opened and sitting on a solid, level surface with plenty of clearance on all sides. The unit should be used on a mat or on carpeted surfaces only.
•  Make sure all the Hitch Pins are securely in place and locked into position.
• Check that the Pulley or Rope is attached securely to the loop on the top underside of the glide board.
• Check that the Cables or Ropes are traveling correctly in the groove of each pulley.
• Make sure the Cable is securely fastened to each Handle.
• Check that the Attachments or other Accessories are installed correctly when in use.
• Make sure the glide board is gliding smoothly along the frame.

ROUTINE MAINTENANCE

• Wipe down your Total Gym® regularly using a clean cloth and alcohol or alcohol-based products like Windex® or 409®. Do not leave towels or workout clothing lying or hanging on the equipment.
• Periodically check the following parts for signs of fraying or other wear: the cable, pulleys, ropes, wheels, glide board, accessories, and frame. If the cable, pulleys, ropes, frame or wheels need to be replaced – do not use your unit, wait until the part is replaced.
• If any other part than the ones listed above needs to be replaced, do not use that part until it is replaced.
• Never use a lubricant such as WD-40® or ArmorAll® to lubricate or clean the unit. Use only 3-in-1® oil or machine oil to lubricate the axles of the wheel or pulley, not the roller surface.

Follow these easy steps to store your exerciser properly:

1. First, remove all accessories and attachments including the Flip Chart accessory.
2. Remove Safety Hitch C Pin and Safety Hitch Pin (on the Lanyard) from the Vertical Column.
3. Be sure the Arm Cable/Pulley is attached to the hook on the underside of the glide board.

6. Slide the glide board down towards the front crossbar as shown.

TO REMOVE THE GLIDE BOARD

You can also remove the glide board if you need to fit the exerciser under a narrow space.
IMPORTANT: The glide board weighs approximately 20 lbs. Use caution when lifting it off of the exerciser. Lifting incorrectly may result in user injury.
