PROSPOTfitness Fusion SSG, Owner'S Manual

User Instructions for the 

Prospot Fitness® 

SSG   

Do not allow any liquid to be near the machine or spilled on any electrical part.  Do not insert any 
foreign object into the electrical box or attempt to open it. This unit is designed for climate 
controlled environments (indoor use). 
 
Connect the power supply to a standard 110-volt household current. While connecting the power 
supply do not touch the barbell as this may interfere with the computer’s initial settings.  If you 
need to reset the computer, simply unplug the power supply, wait 10 seconds and reconnect it. It 
is recommended that surge protection be used to help protect and extend the life of the 
Electronic Box of the unit from power surges and lightening strikes.  A flashing green light will 
appear on the Electronic Box when power is on.  When sensors are activated, a steady red light 
will also come on. 
 

Note:  Detailed, visual instructions can be found on the included instructional DVD.   
 

Space Saver Feature 

To fold up the 

SSG

: 

1.  Move Bench to farthest position from back of unit and lower to flat position.  
2.  Place accessories in their respective holders and put weight plates on the storage posts.  
3.  Grasp bench handle and raise the bench to its full, upright position.  Secure in position 

with locking knob.  

4.  Position the barbell and place diagonally across the front of the unit, ensuring that the 

Weight Bar does not exceed the width of main frame. 

5.  Release the locking knob located at the top of each Front Folding Uprights (side frames) 

and fold in and lock into hole on selector plate. Never perform exercises while sides are 
folded. 

 
To unfold: 

1.  Release locking knob from each Front Folding Uprights (side frames) and extend 

outward, locking each in place with the locking knob.   

2.  Raise barbell to uppermost position. 
3.  Remove locking pin from upright bench, grasp bench handle and lower it to the floor, 

ensuring that the front support leg is fully extended and stable.   

Touch Sensor Barbell Operation 

1.  Rotate the barbell so that the Touch Sensor Strip embedded in the barbell is touching 

your fingertips.  It is necessary for your fingertips to maintain skin contact with the Touch 
Sensor Strip throughout your free-weight exercise.   

2.  Grasp the barbell using what is called a ‘false’ grip in which the thumb does not wrap 

around the bar but rests alongside the index fingers. Using this type of grip will prevent 
your thumb from maintaining skin contact with the Touch Sensor Strip when you attempt 
to lock the bar in place.   

3.  Once you have grasped the barbell, you will hear a soft ‘click’ and a solid red light will 

appear on the Electronic Box in addition to the flashing green power light. 

4.

While still grasping the barbell, lift about 1”, using an even upward lifting motion on both 
sides of the barbell.  This upward movement will disengage the locking mechanism.  If 
you have performed this step correctly, the barbell will now be under your control

. 

5.  Always remember to secure all weight plates with supplied spring clips.  You are now 

ready to begin your free-weight exercise routine.
