CAU TION : To set up t his unit, you w ill need a ssist a nce . Do not at t em pt assem bly by yourself.
You must review and follow the instructions in this Owner’s Manual. If you do not assemble and use the GDCC250
according to these guidelines, you could void the Body-Solid warranty.
Require d Tools
The basic tools that you must obtain before assembling
the GDCC250 include but are not limited to:
m Standard Wrench Set
m Metric Wrench Set
m Adjustable Wrench
Inst allat ion Require me nts
Follow these installation requirements when assembling
the GDCC250:
Set up the GDCC250 on a solid, flat surface. A smooth,
flat surface under the machine helps keep it level. A level
machine has fewer malfunctions.
Provide ample space around the machine. Open space
around the machine allows for easier access.
Insert all bolts in the same direction. For aesthetic purpos-
es, insert all bolts in the same direction unless specified
(in text or illustrations) to do otherwise.
Leave room for adjustments. Tighten fasteners such as
bolts, nuts, and screws so the unit is stable, but leave
room for adjustments. Do not fully tighten fasteners until
instructed in the assembly steps to do so.
Fill out and mail the warranty card.
Be careful to assemble components in the sequence
presented in this guide.
NOTE: With so many assembled parts, proper
alignment and adjustment is critical. While
tightening the nuts and bolts, be sure to leave
room for adjustments.
CAUTION: Obtain assistance! Do not attempt to
assemble the GDCC250 by yourself.
Review the Installation Requirements
before proceeding with the following
steps.

A s s e m b l y I n s t r u c t i o n s
Assembly of the GDCC250 takes professional installers about 2 hours to complete. If this is the first time you have
assembled this type of equipment, plan on significantly more time.
Profe ssiona l inst allers a re highly re comm ended!
However, if you acquire the appropriate tools, obtain assistance, and follow the assembly steps sequentially,
the process will take time, but is fairly easy.
Assem bly T ips
Read all “Notes” on each page before beginning each
step.
While you may be able to assemble the GDCC250 using
the illustrations only, important safety notes and other tips
are included in the text.
Some pieces may have extra holes that you will not use.
Use only those holes indicated in the instructions and il-
lustrations.
NOTE:
To find out the length of a particular bolt,
measure its shank (the long, narrow part
beneath the head). Refer to the following
diagram:
Do not fully tighten bolts until instructed to do so.
Note : Aft e r a sse m bly, you should check all functions
to ensure correc t ope ration. If you experience
problems,rstrechecktheassemblyinstructions

Precision craftsmanship assures Body-Solid’s ability to
consistently deliver products of the highest standards. Our
products have been carefully designed to ensure safe, ef-
ficient long term operation.
However, it must be realized that safe use of this equip-
ment requires that owners carefully read and follow the
Body-Solid use recommendations, warnings, and mainte-
nance guidelines in this Owners Manual.
Routine inspection and maintenance is of critical impor-
tance to ensure maximum safety and performance. Body-
Solid uses the highest quality materials available, but wear
is inevitable. Therefore, you must carefully inspect your
equipment as outlined in the Maintenance Schedule.
Be advised that dangerous conditions can arise even dur-
ing a warranty period. A warranty does not negate the
owner’s responsibility to thoroughly, carefully and daily
inspect the machine.
Including maintaining the equipment, the owner’s respon-
sibility is also to:
m Be sure to always provide adequate supervision to
all end-users.
m Be sure to instruct all end-users of proper usage.
m Be sure all supervisors and personal trainers who
instruct end-users on equipment use are properly
trained and know the function and importance of
every adjustment and setting.
Also, be sure these trainers provide proper
instruction to end-users on the fundamentals of
strength training.
CABLES:
m While the machine is not in use, carefully run your
fingers along the cable to feel for thinning or bulging
areas. Replace cables immediately at the first sign of
damage or wear. Do not use equipment until
damaged cable has been replaced.
m Visually inspect the cables for fraying, cracking,
peeling or discoloration.
m Check slack in cables and re-adjust cable tension if
needed.
m Check that the jam nut on the selector rod top bolt is
tight.
UPH OLSTERY:
m Wipe down after every workout.
m Periodically take the time to use a mild soap or a
mild vinyl upholstery cleaner. Avoid using any
abrasive cleaner not intended for use on vinyl.
m Keep sharp or pointed objects out of your pockets
and clear of all upholstery.
NU TS/BOLT S/FASTEN ERS:
m Periodically inspect all nuts and bolts. Tighten if
needed. If bolts seem to loosen periodically, use
Loctite 242 for a long-term cure.
m Go through a re-tightening sequence periodically to
ensure that all hardware is properly tensioned.
GUI DE RODS:
m Wipe clean with a dust free rag. Lubricate with a
Silicon or Teflon based lubricant.
ADJU STM ENT S / LOCKIN G PIN S /
TI GHT ENI NG K NOBS:
m Check all pieces for signs of visible wear or damage.
m Check springs in Snap Links and Pop Pins for proper
tension and alignment.
m If the spring sticks or has lost its rigidity, replace it
immediately.
ANT I-SK ID SU RFACES:
m Replace if they appear worn or become slippery.
WARNI NG I NST RUCTI ON LABELS:
m Inspect and familiarize yourself with all safety
warnings and other user information on decals.
