WING ACCESSORY  
The wing accessory provided with your unit has been uniquely designed to serve several pur-  
poses. It can be placed at the top or bottom of the exerciser and angled toward you or away  
from you depending upon what is comfortable for you.

wing (if not already) before exercising. To do this:  
1.  
Simply wet each end of the straight crossbar of the wing with some soapy water.  
Fig. 1  
2.  
Then, attach foam pads on the cross bar as shown  
in Figure 1. Let dry before beginning to exercise

STARTING OUT  
Wear athletic shoes and comfortable light clothing when exercising on the Total Gym® 1000.  
Do not exercise barefoot. Check your exerciser before using to ensure that all the parts are in  
place and working properly (see page 12 for details of the inspection process). Adult super-  
vision is required at all times.  
Begin using the product at a low incline. As your fitness level progresses, increase the incline  
to increase the intensity and improve your muscle strength. Dont be in a hurry to exercise at  
a high intensity level; start out easily and build gradually. The Total Gym® 1000 is as easy as  
1-2-3 to use, so read on.  
1.  
Important Things to Remember When Using the Total Gym®1000  
Always have control of the glideboard before getting on and off the exerciser.  
Keep your feet on the floor when getting on and off the exerciser. Only remove them  
from the floor for the duration of the exercise.  
If you are using the handles, hold onto them as you get on and off the glideboard.  
2.  
Exercising with the Handles Only  
Grasp the handles which are attached to the cable and slide the glideboard to a posi-  
tion in which you can comfortably sit or lay down on when performing the desired exer-  
cise (see the Exercise Booklet). Be sure to keep your feet on the floor until you are in  
the correct position for the specific exercise. Then, if the exercise calls for your feet to  
be off the floor, place your feet as specified in the instructions.  
3.  
Exercising with the Wing Accessory Only  
Slide the glideboard to a position in which you can comfortably sit or lay down on  
when performing the desired exercise (see the Exercise Booklet). Keep your feet on  
the ground until you are in the correct position and feel comfortable. Then, place your  
feet in the proper position and begin to exercise.  
When starting your exercise program, begin with the basic exercises in the Exercise Booklet  
included with your Total Gym® 1000 to familiarize yourself with the movements. Use the low-  
est incline level to start withyou can work up to a higher incline level in the weeks and  
months to come.  
For the specific Total Gym® 1000 exercises and programs, study and follow the instruc-  
tions in the Exercise Booklet included with your product.

INSPECTION AND MAINTENANCE  
INSPECT YOUR TOTAL GYM 1000 PRIOR TO EACH USE  
®
Before using your Total Gym® 1000 for your workout session, be sure to make the  
following inspection:  
Make sure the equipment is fully opened and sitting on a solid level surface with plenty  
of clearance on all sides. Unit should be used on carpeted surfaces only.  
Make sure all the hitch pins and the height adjustment Cpin are securely in place  
and locked into position.  
Check that the pulley is attached securely to the hook on the front underside of the  
glideboard.  
Check that the cables are traveling correctly in the groove of each pulley.  
Make sure the cable is securely fastened to each hand grip.  
Check that the wing accessory is installed correctly when in use.  
Make sure the glideboard is gliding smoothly along the frame.  
ROUTINE MAINTENANCE  
Wipe down your Total Gym® 1000 on a regular basis using a clean cloth and alcohol or  
alcohol-based products like Windex® or 409®. Do not leave towels or workout clothing  
laying or hanging on the equipment.  
Periodically check the following parts for signs of fraying or other wear: the cable, the  
pulleys, the wheels, the glideboard, the wing accessory and the frame. If a part needs  
to be replaced, do not use the equipment until it is repaired.  
Never use a lubricant such as WD-40® or ArmorAll® to lubricate or clean the unit. Use  
only 3-in-1® oil or machine oil to lubricate the axles of the wheel or pulley, not the roller  
surface.
