The Precor Resolute™ Strength Selectorized Line Converging Chest Press RSL 414 is a piece of fitness equipment designed for strength training, specifically targeting the chest muscles through a converging movement pattern. This assembly guide provides detailed instructions for setting up, using, and maintaining the equipment.
Function Description:
The Converging Chest Press RSL 414 is a selectorized strength machine, meaning it uses a weight stack and a pin to select the desired resistance. The converging movement pattern is designed to mimic the natural motion of the chest muscles during a pressing exercise, providing a more effective and comfortable workout. Users sit on an adjustable seat and push handles forward, engaging the pectoral muscles, anterior deltoids, and triceps. The machine is part of the Resolute™ Strength Selectorized Line, indicating its robust construction and suitability for commercial or heavy-duty use.
Important Technical Specifications:
- Assembly Time: Approximately 90 minutes for experienced assemblers; allow more time for first-time assembly.
- Weight Plates: The machine includes 23 weight plates, each weighing 10 lb (4.5 kg), for a total weight stack of 230 lbs (103.5 kg).
- Add-on Weight: An additional 5 lb (2.2 kg) add-on weight is included for finer resistance adjustments.
- Fastener Torque Specifications:
- M12 fasteners: 55 ft-lb (75 N-m)
- M10 screws (guide rod fasteners): 32 ft-lb (43 N-m)
- M12 x 25 mm SHCS (for arm assembly): 55 ft-lb (75 N-m)
- Cable locking bolt (against select stem): 50 ft-lb (81 N-m)
- Shroud crown bolts (M10 x 40 mm SHCS): 25 ft-lb (34 N-m)
- Cable End Distance: Maximum distance for cable end into rod end is 25 mm.
- Add-on Weight Selector Stem: The distance from the underside of the jam nut to the top of the washer should be no more than 1.61 inch (41mm) for proper engagement.
- Dimensions: Not explicitly stated, but the machine requires at least 40 inches (1 meter) of clearance from walls, furniture, or objects on all sides.
- Materials: Features a main frame, side arms, cross braces, a weight stack tower, kick plate, and various shrouds for aesthetics and safety. The guide rods are lubricated with Teflon-based lubricant.
Usage Features:
- Adjustable Seat Assembly: The seat assembly includes a roller adjustment tool (attached to the seat assembly) to fine-tune the roller clearance. The gas spring facilitates easy seat height adjustments.
- Selectorized Weight Stack: Users can easily select their desired resistance by inserting a pin into the weight stack. An add-on weight handle allows for smaller increments of resistance.
- Converging Movement: The design provides a natural converging motion for effective chest muscle engagement.
- Safety Features: The equipment is designed to be bolted to the flooring at all anchoring points for stability. Shrouds cover moving parts and the weight stack to prevent accidental contact. Hole plugs are used to cover open holes.
- Clearance Requirements: Requires ample space around the equipment for safe operation and maintenance.
- Assembly Assistance: Requires at least two people for assembly to ensure safety and ease of installation.
- Leveling: Round feet on the frame can be adjusted to level the equipment on uneven surfaces.
Maintenance Features:
- Lubrication: Guide rods and chrome pad adjustment tubes should be lubricated with a Teflon spray lubricant (e.g., TriFlow brand). Excess lubricant should be removed with a clean cloth or tissue.
- Fastener Checks: All fasteners and cable retention nuts should be checked regularly to ensure they are tight and meet the specified torque call-outs.
- Cable Inspection: Cables should be routinely inspected to ensure they sit fully in cams (if applicable) and pulleys, move without rubbing, and are free from binding.
- Adjustment Pin Verification: For all movable arm and pad frames, the adjustment pin should fully engage and insert freely into each position.
- Weight Stack Functionality: Verify that the selector pin can be inserted into each weight plate and that the top weight separates from the second weight when the cable is attached and properly tensioned. The add-on weight should engage when the latch is in the down position.
- Regular Exercise Performance: Perform the exercise slowly to verify cable movement is free from binding.
- Adherence to Standards: Precor recommends staying apprised of local industry standards and consulting a licensed contractor for proper bolting techniques and fastener types, as floor materials and standards can vary.
- Maintenance Guide: A separate Maintenance Guide is provided with the product for detailed maintenance instructions.
