Setup, Compatibility & Care
Assembly requires at least two people due to the weight and size of the steel components. It is recommended to use a socket wrench set rather than the included hand tools for a faster and tighter setup. Compatibility is broad, as the J-hooks and safety arms are designed for standard Olympic-sized equipment. To care for your machine, wipe down the steel frame with a soft, dry cloth after every session to prevent corrosion from sweat. Periodically check all bolts and fasteners to ensure they remain tight, and apply a light silicone-based lubricant to the Smith machine guide rods to ensure the barbell glides smoothly without friction.
