The Precor Resolute™ Strength Selectorized Line Rear Delt/Pec Fly RSL 505 is a piece of fitness equipment designed for strength training, specifically targeting the rear deltoids and pectoral muscles. This assembly guide provides detailed instructions for setting up and maintaining the machine, emphasizing safety and proper installation.
Function Description:
The RSL 505 allows users to perform both rear delt fly and pec fly exercises, providing a comprehensive workout for the upper body. The selectorized weight stack enables easy adjustment of resistance, making it suitable for users of varying strength levels. The machine is designed to provide a smooth and controlled motion, ensuring effective muscle engagement and reducing the risk of injury.
Important Technical Specifications:
- Assembly Time: Approximately 90 minutes for first-time assembly.
- Dimensions: Requires at least 40 inches (1 meter) of clearance from walls, furniture, or other objects on all sides.
- Weight Stack: Includes 23 weight plates, each weighing 10 lb (4.5 kg), for a total of 230 lbs. An additional 5 lb (2.2 kg) add-on weight is also included.
- Fastener Torque:
- M12 fasteners: 55 ft-lb (75 N-m)
- M10 screws: 32 ft-lb (43 N-m)
- Cable retention nut: 50 ft-lb (67 N-m)
- Shroud crown bolts: 25 ft-lb (34 N-m)
- Cable System: Features a cable and pulley system for smooth resistance delivery. The cable attachment to the weight stack requires specific adjustments to ensure proper function, including the top weight separating from the second weight, easy selector pin insertion, engaged add-on weight latch, and at least six turns of threads on the cable bolt extending into the add-on weight selector stem. The distance from the underside of the jam nut to the top of the washer should not exceed 1.61 inches (41mm).
- Materials: Constructed with durable components, including steel frames, rubber washers, and nylon lock nuts.
Usage Features:
- Selectorized Weight Stack: Allows for quick and easy adjustment of resistance by inserting a pin into the desired weight plate. An add-on weight handle provides additional fine-tuning of resistance.
- Adjustable Seat Assembly: The seat assembly includes a roller adjustment tool (attached to the seat assembly) to fine-tune roller clearance. The seat pad and chest/back pad are attached with seams facing the frame/seat for proper positioning.
- Arm Assembly: Features left and right arm assemblies that are inserted into the main frame. These arms are designed with pop pin handles for easy rotation and cable routing. Labels (L and R) on the arm and main frame ensure correct alignment during assembly.
- Cable Routing: The cable system is carefully routed through various pulleys and retainers on the arm assemblies and weight stack tower to ensure smooth operation.
- Stability: The equipment is designed to be set up on a solid, flat surface and requires bolting to the flooring at all anchoring points for optimal stability and safety. Round feet on the frame can be adjusted to level the equipment.
Maintenance Features:
- Lubrication: Guide rods and chrome pad adjustment tubes should be lubricated with a Teflon-based lubricant (e.g., Tri-Flow Superior Lubricant) to ensure smooth operation. Any excess lubricant should be removed with a clean cloth or tissue.
- Fastener Checks: All fasteners, including M12, M10, and cable retention nuts, must be tightened to their specified torque values and checked regularly to ensure they remain secure.
- Cable Inspection: Cables should be checked to ensure they sit fully in cams (if applicable) and pulleys, and move without rubbing or binding.
- Adjustment Pin Verification: The adjustment pin for movable arm and pad frames should fully engage and insert freely into each position.
- Weight Stack Functionality: The selector pin should be verifiable for insertion into each weight plate. The top plate assembly's selector pin holder should be used when not in use.
- Weight Labels: Weight labels are provided to be aligned and pressed firmly onto the weight plates for clear identification.
- Regular Maintenance: Refer to the separate Maintenance Guide for detailed information on routine maintenance procedures to ensure the longevity and safe operation of the equipment.
