DYNO Quick Reference Guide
• Warm up with at least five minutes of continuous exercise before performing high force
repetitions.
• Keep feet apart for seated bench press and seated bench pull so carriage
does not hit your legs.
• Keep other people away from moving carriage when in use.
• Monitor will automatically begin a new set when the carriage is activated. The first three
reps are not recorded and serve as extra warm-up and allow the monitor to adjust for any
damper changes.
• Eight damper levers control the load that you feel at a given speed of movement. NOTE:
Damper levers should not be changed once a set has been started.
• The set will end automatically if ten seconds has passed since the beginning of the last
rep.
• When a set has ended, the set summary data will be displayed.
• Set summary data and individual rep data may be recalled using the RECALL buttons.
The memory can be emptied with the CLEAR button. The OK button exits recall mode
without clearing memory. The memory will also clear automatically just before the first
rep of the first set after a power down.
• In order to be able to compare your results from one workout to the next, you should
record and keep consistent the following variables: number of open dampers, height
setting of the handle bar, degree of compression, orientation of hand grip (up, down,
wide, narrow), number of reps per set, and number of sets per session. The set max and
average are only comparable if the variables are held constant.
• The TIMER button turns on or off the SET/REST button in the upper left display.
• The DISPLAY button cycles between five options for the data shown in the bottom left
display.
• IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTE: Do not attempt to lift a free weight
of the same amount that you can push on the
DYNO
. The
DYNO
lift is not
limited by your “weak point” of the motion. Therefore, the
DYNO
force
reading may be greater than the amount of free weight you can lift.
