The G7-S75-02 is a Hip Abductor machine designed for strength training in commercial environments, classified as a Class S product in compliance with EN ISO 20957-1 and EN 957-2. This equipment is intended for indoor use only and should be installed on a stable and level surface. Manufacturer recommendations suggest securing the equipment to the floor to prevent rocking or tipping. Proper materials handling techniques, as recommended by OSHA, should be used when moving the equipment, and all anchor points must withstand 750 lbf (3.3 kN) pull-out force.
Function Description:
The Hip Abductor machine is designed to target and strengthen the hip abductor muscles. Users select their desired weight using a weight stack and perform controlled abduction movements. The machine includes a repetition counter to track movements, adjustable handles for user comfort, and various pads (back, seat, leg) to ensure proper positioning and support during exercise.

Usage Features:
- Proper Usage Guidelines:
- Do not exceed weight limits.
- Set safety stops to appropriate height (if applicable).
- Adjust seat pads, leg pads, foot pads, range of motion, or other mechanisms to a comfortable start position, ensuring full engagement to prevent unintentional movement.
- Sit on the bench and get into the appropriate exercise position.
- Exercise using a weight that can be safely lifted and controlled.
- Perform exercises in a controlled manner.
- Return weight to its fully-supported start position.
- Adjustable Components: The machine features adjustable handles, seat pads, leg pads, and foot pads to accommodate various users and exercise preferences.
- Repetition Counter: An integrated repetition display tracks movements, providing feedback to the user. This counter relies on a magnet and sensors for accurate counting.
Maintenance Features:
- Preventative Maintenance: Regular inspection of the equipment is crucial for smooth operation and minimizing liability.
- Parts Replacement: The manual provides detailed instructions for replacing various components, including:
- Repetition Counter (1000096514): Instructions cover checking battery, wiring, magnet position, and sensor functionality. Replacement involves removing the top cover, disconnecting wires, and detaching the counter.
- Top Cover (1000424165/1000397869): Removal involves unscrewing the aluminum wing and disconnecting the repetition counter wire.
- Side Cover (098985/098988/1000397883): Removal involves unscrewing the aluminum wing, disconnecting the repetition counter wire, and pulling up on the shrouds.
- Repetition Sensor (1000096531): Replacement involves removing covers, disconnecting wires, and unscrewing the sensors from the weight stack frame.
- Incremental Weight Pin (1000398254): Replacement involves removing side covers, the plastic cover, the reaction block, and the snap ring.
- Weight Plate (1000092375): Replacement involves removing covers, the incremental weight pin, the rubber cover on the cable, turning the cable retainer, removing the snap ring from the guide rods, leaning the guide rods, and removing the weight plates.
- Weight Stack Pulley (1000397609): Replacement involves removing covers, the incremental weight pin, the rubber cover, turning the cable retainer, and unscrewing the pulley.
- Back & Seat & Leg Pad: Replacement involves removing specific screws for each pad.
- Adjustable Handle (1000401114/1000423441): Replacement involves removing the chain, screw, handle, and stopper block, and applying grease to the pull pin.
- Troubleshooting: The manual offers solutions for common issues:
- Blank or non-counting repetition display: Check battery, wiring, magnet position, and sensor functionality.
- Loose or sloppy incremental weight pin: Check and replace the snap ring or the pin itself.
- Weight stack pin not entering plates: Check pin straightness, cable tightness, plate seating, and top weight plate bushings.
- Weight stack cable falling off pulley/cam: Check cable tension and routing.
