Assembly Instructions
GB
Before assembling or using the „PRIMUS“, please read the following instructions carefully. They contain important in-
formation for use and maintenance of the equipment as well as for your personal safety. Keep these instructions in a
safe place for maintenance purposes or for ordering spare parts.
For Your Safety
■ The unit should be used only for its intended purpose, i.e. for
physical exercise by adult persons.
■ Any other use of the equipment is prohibited and may be dan-
gerous. The manufacturer cannot be held liable for damage or
injury caused by improper use of the equipment.
■ The unit has been designed in accordance with the latest stan-
dards of safety. Any features which may have been a possible
cause of injury have been avoided or made as safe as possible.
■ Incorrect repairs and structural modifications (e.g. removal or re-
placement of original parts) may endanger the safety of the user.
■ Damaged components may endanger your safety or reduce the
lifetime of the equipment. For this reason, worn or damaged
parts should be replaced immediately and the equipment taken
out of use until this has been done. Use only original KETTLER
spare parts.
■ In case of enquiry, please contact your KETTLER dealer.
■ If the equipment is in regular use, check all its components
thoroughly every 1 - 2 months. Pay particular attention to the
tightness of bolts and nuts.
■ Instruct persons using the equipment (in particular children) on
possible sources of danger during exercising. This applies in
particular to the use of the weight-bar weights.
■ Before beginning your program of exercise, consult your doc-
tor to ensure that you are fit enough to use the equipment. Base
your program of exercise on the advice given by your doctor.
Incorrect or excessive exercise may damage your health.
Handling the equipment
■ Before using the equipment for exercise, check carefully to en-
sure that it has been correctly assembled.
■ During exercise, ensure that all the necessary safety elements
are in place and that they cannot work loose. Before use, al-
ways check all screws and plug-in connections as well as res-
pective safety devices fit correctly.
■ Do not set the equipment up in rooms which are frequently
used or close to doors, entries etc.
■ It is not recommended to use or store the apparatus in a damp
room as this may cause it to rust. Please ensure that no part of
the machine comes in contact with liquids (drinks, perspiration
etc.). This may cause corrosion.
■ The surface on which the unit is placed must be firm and even.
Place rubber or straw mats under it to deaden any noise or im-
pacts. Do not allow the weights to drop from a height.
■ The unit is designed for use by adults and children should not
be allowed to play with it. Children at play behave unpredic-
tably and dangerous situations may occur for which the manu-
facturer cannot be held liable. If, in spite of this, children are
allowed to use the equipment, ensure that they are instructed in
its proper use and supervised accordingly.
■ Do not use corrosive or abrasive materials to clean the equip-
ment. Ensure that such materials are not allowed to pollute the
environment.
■ Please keep original packaging of this article, so that it may be
used for transport at a later date, if necessary
Instructions for Assembly
■ Ensure that you have received all the parts required (see check
list page 6) and that they are undamaged. Should you have
any cause for complaint, please contact your KETTLER dealer.
■ Please note that there is always a danger of injury when wor-
king with tools or doing manual work. Therefore please be ca-
reful when assembling this machine.
■ Ensure that your working area is free of possible sources of
danger, for example don’t leave any tools lying around. Al-
ways dispose packaging material in such a way that it may not
cause any danger. There is always a risk of suffocation if child-
ren play with plastic bags!
■ Before assembling the equipment, study the drawings carefully
and carry out the operations in the order shown by the dia-
grams. The correct sequence is given in capital letters.
■ The fastening material required for each assembly step is sho-
wn in the diagram inset. Use the fastening material exactly as
instructed. The required tools are supplied with the equipment.
■ Bolt all the parts together loosely at first, and check that they
have been assembled correctly. Tighten the locknuts by hand
until resistance is felt, then use spanner to finally tighten nuts
completely against resistance (locking device). Then check that
all screw connections have been tightened firmly. Attention:
once locknuts have been unscrewed they no longer function
correctly (the locking device is destroyed), and must be repla-
ced.
■ The equipment must be assembled with due care by an adult
person. If in doubt call upon the help of a second person, if
possible technically talented.
■ For technical reasons, we reserve the right to carry out preli-
minary assembly work (e.g. addition of tubing plugs).
