Safety Rules
Introduction
Routine Inspection
& Maintenance
Warning:
Serious injury can occur if you are struck by falling weights or moving parts. The
risk that you assume by using this type of equipment can be reduced by obeying
a few simple rules:
1.
IMPORTANT:
Cables are a wear item. It is your responsibility to prevent
unexpected breakage. To do this, inspect every cable daily. Pay particular
attention to areas near fittings at each end of each cable. Access panels are
provided, where necessary, for this purpose. Replace worn, frayed, or damaged
cables immediately. The actual wire strands, the fittings, and the nylon jacket
itself must all be scrutinized. Using or allowing a machine to be used with a
suspect cable can result in serious injury.
2. Inspect the nylon jacket of each cable carefully, again paying particular attention
to the cable ends. This nylon jacket is essential for cable life and safety. Any
cable should be replaced if the nylon jacket: is missing, is damaged in any
way, has pulled or shrunk away from the fittings at the end of the cable, or
is discolored. DISCOLORATION, DARKENING OR BULGING OF THE JACKET IS
AN EARLY INDICATION OF INTERNAL PROBLEMS SUCH AS WEAR OR FRAYING.
3. Read and follow all instructions in your owner’s manual, on your exercise chart,
and on product warning label. Additional copies are available from Vectra
Fitness, Inc. or your dealer. Do not use this machine until you have taken the
time to become completely familiar with its safe operation.
4. Consult your physician before beginning your exercise program.
5. Do not allow young children to use or play with or around this machine. Allow
older children to use the machine only with adult supervision.
6. Keep body, hair, and clothing clear of weights and moving parts at all times.
Keep fingers clear of moving parts while making adjustments.
7. Inspect the gym for loose or worn parts, damaged, frayed, or worn cables,
broken weight plates, etc. Do not use or allow the machine to be used until
any defective parts are repaired or replaced. Refer to the “Routine Inspection
and Maintenance” section of your manual for specific inspection rules. Use
only Vectra authorized replacement parts.
8. Ensure that the weight selector pin is in good working condition and fully
engaged in the selector shaft prior to lifting. Use only the Vectra supplied pin
or a Vectra authorized replacement.
9. Ensure that any locking mechanisms are properly engaged prior to lifting.
Locking mechanisms secure the following in position during use: seat pads,
accessory items such as squat attachments and lat hold downs, cable
attachments, press arms, leg developers, etc. An improperly engaged locking
mechanism could result in an injury.
10. Obtain assistance to free jammed weight plates, pulleys, etc. Do not attempt
to free jammed weight plates by yourself. Falling weight plates can cause
serious injury. Do not pin the weight stack or top plate in an elevated position
and do not use machine if found in this condition.
11. Do not drop the weight plates. Lift only as much as you can control safely.
Never use dumbbells or other means to incrementally increase the weight
resistance. Use only those means provided by Vectra. Don’t be careless, stay
alert.
12. Serious injury could result if equipment moves while in use. To prevent this,
ensure that the floor is even, strong, and not too slippery. If equipment slides
too easily on floor, place equipment on rubber matting. Errors in lifting form
could also result in bench moving in use. To prevent this, lift weight vertically
only and do not push horizontally with your feet while lifting.
Replace the warning label on product if damaged, illegible, or removed.
T
he Vectra On-Line
®
1400 is designed to provide years of trouble-free service
with minimal routine maintenance. You can be confident of continued top quality
performance by carrying out the following periodic inspection.
PERFORM THE FOLLOWING SAFETY CHECK DAILY:
1.
Inspect cables, cable ends and nylon jacket very carefully. Refer to Warning Label
for specific information on inspecting cables. This same information is repeated
in this manual and on your exercise chart.
Replace any damaged or worn
cables.
Annual cable replacement (semiannual in multi-user settings) is strongly
recommended as an additional precaution. The rate at which cables wear depends
on many factors including: repetitions, weight setting, misuse, abuse, etc. Because
of this, periodic cable replacement is not a sufficient safeguard against unexpected
breakage. Nothing short of a thorough, careful daily inspection constitutes an
adequate safety program.
PERFORM THE FOLLOWING CHECKS WEEKLY:
1.
Inspect frame and pulley bolts for tightness. Tighten if necessary.*
2.
Inspect accessory items (lat bar, curl bar, ankle strap, squart attachments. etc.)
for damaged mounting eyes, springs, broken stitches, etc. Replace any damaged
or worn items.

improperly functioning pin with Vectra replacement pin only.
