Frame ConstructionFrame shall be constructed of mechanical quality steel purchased in mill run quantities. Frame shall be primarily 2 ½” x 4 ½” oval shaped tubing with 11 gauge wall thickness. Movement arms shall be primary 1 5/8” x 2 ¾” oval shaped tubing with 11 gauge wall thickness. Frames shall be welded (not bolted together) for maximum structural integrity and minimum maintenance when possible. Larger machines have bolt-together configuration to facilitate movement through smaller doorways and difficult installations.

Frame FinishPrior to applying finish, each part shall be chemically washed to prepare surface for maximum adhesion. The frames shall be coated with an electrostatic epoxy powder coat finish applied in a powder form and baked at 400°F. The frames shall be clear coated for added protection, which results in a smooth, consistent finish which is very hard, assuring scratch and chip resistance.

Weight SelectionWeights are selected by using a 7/16” selector pin, which completely penetrates the weight plate and locks in place using a magnetic ring to eliminate any change of disengaging during use. The selector pin shall be connected to the weight to eliminate loss of substitution of substandard pins.

Incremental Weight SystemWeights shall have an incremental system that allows user to increase resistance by 5# increments (5#, 10#, 15#). The system shall utilize a secondary weight stack and shall be adjustable with a pull and turn of the dial that is integrated on the top plate of the primary weight stack.

Weight PlatesWeight plates shall be machined form solid 1” thick steel. Finish shall be a wrinkle gray powder coat. The thickness of the plate shall be held to precise tolerance by machining the entire upper and lower surfaces which results in a better pin fit to the stem.

Weight Plate BushingsEach plate (not just the top weight) shall contain low friction bushings, which surround the guide rods to minimize friction and noise.

Top Weight BushingsThe top weight shall be stabilized with an engineered composite structure with self-lubricating bushings. The bushings shall be self lubricating in order that the guide rods will not require lubrication.

Weight Stack Guide RodsGuide rods shall be ¾” cold drawn steel, turned ground and polished with hard chrome finish

Weight Stack SuspensionWeight rubber bumpers shall be suspended under each stack to reduce shock and vibration stresses to the frame and facility floor.

Weight Selection ShaftThe shaft shall be constructed of zinc plated cold finished steel and precision drilled for accurate pin selection.

CamsAll cams shall be CNC machined from solid polymer and individually designed for each unit to match the appropriate muscle strength capability curve.

Counter Balanced Input ArmsInput arms on the equipment shall be counter balanced where appropriate to eliminate the weight of the assembly from the weight selected by the user.

Integral BearingsBearings shall be sealed bearings with a basic radial load rating of over 2,000 pounds. Bearings shall be mounted within precision-machined housings for optimal alignment, which results in smooth and friction free movement.

RollersInternal seat carriage adjustment rollers shall be made of molded polymer mounted on machined steel axles for smooth, durable operation.

Support RailsSLP shall have wire brushed stainless steel rails. Polished will not be accepted.

BoltsAll hardware shall be stainless steel

UpholsteryUpholstery shall be vinyl that is resistant to wear and stains from sweat and other deteriorating factors.

FoamThree and four pound EVA foam (deformation resistant) or equal shall be used on all machines. The foam shall be injection molded directly to the multi-ply wood support board with integral 10mm T-nuts.

14

Hand GripsHand grips shall be an extruded 60-durometer-thermorubber compound that is non-absorbing, wear and tear resistant and exhibits good dry and wet frictional characteristics. The grips shall be retained with aluminum collars, which eliminate the tendency of the grip to slide off the handle.

Seat AdjustmentsNumeric seat and pad adjustments correctly align body to machine for proper posture, muscle isolation and body stabilization. Gas assisted springs (where applicable) to improve ease of use on adjustments. Internal roller mechanism on seat adjustment provides smooth and consistent operation.

Foot PlatformsAll foot platforms shall be molded rubber with a slip resistant texture.

Instructional PlacardEquipment shall include visual placards that provide step by step instructions as well as picture to illustrate proper use and muscles trained.

Equipment AnchoringAll machines shall have holes in the feet, which allow for easy anchoring to the floor to minimize the possibility that they will be tipped.

WarrantyEquipment shall carry a 10 year minimum warranty on frames, 5 years on integral bearings, guide rods, pulleys and weight plated, 1 year on cables and grips and 90 days on upholstery and any items not specified.

Composition:High quality cast iron core encased in high quality protective virgin rubber. The 45,35,25 and 10 pound plate contain ergonomic grip openings for increased comfort and safety. The center of the plate contains a 1.985” open to fit standard Olympic bars while limiting movement of plates on the bars.

Production:Plate is made through a poured mold process. Resulting plate has chamfered outer edge. The plate is then encased in high quality protective virgin rubber. Final result is a top quality plate manufactured within 2% of stated weight.

Overall design:The outer perimeter is round in shape and 45,35,25 and 10 pound plates contain 5 ergonomic grip openings. These ergonomic grip openings retain a proprietary grip surface that counter opposes the outer perimeter of the plate. This proprietary design matches the anatomical shape of the hand in a carrying position. Overall plate design maintains structural integrity with ergonomic grip openings.
