What do I use to clean Smith Machine?

I have the Proform XP300 Weight Bench and the smith machine works perfectly. The pull-down is just ok. The verticle square pole that the pull-down weights ride on must be kept very clean or it binds and the plastic inserts drag. I use silicone spray for lube. The leg machine attached to it works as good as any. Worth the money.

There's alarge variety of exercises you can do on the smith machine, from squat to benchpress. Also, if your bench is adjustable to different degrees, you can performincline presses on it.

A smithmachine is a weight training machine in which the barbell is in fixed positionand can move only up and down. Here's a picture of one: http://www.lifefitness.com/static/cms_workspace/products/commercial/lfstrength/signatureseriesbenchesracks/CS-SigBR_SSM-enlarge.jpg

It is called a platen knob. Google smith corona dunkirk Ny they will be able to help you.

This would be the Native resolution. That your display functions and displays best in.
Windows XP, Vista and Windows 7.
(1) RIGHT mouse click over your desktop.

Windows XP will differ - but same basic idea to navigate and make this fix.
Pictures show from a Windows Vista Machine (extremely similar to Windows 7)
(2) Click Display settings

(3) Now you'll see a slider bar, Native Computer Display 1680x1050 resolution.
Some computers can not support this resolution and may cause non operational situations.
If the display setting is not on the slider bar. Chances would be that it's not a supported Resolution.
"Older computer" If the display doesn't show while trying different resolutions - do not click apply and wait. the screen will return to it's previous setting. ViewSonic VX2235 has a Setting that could be used to Disable this annoying message - Revert to ViewSonic

The linear is the bearing they use for smooth motion up and down the guide poles, If you use an assisted chin dip unit its a similar concept it take some of the weight off the bar.In my opinion the Smith Machine promotes poor lifting form and puts the lifter in more danger than the traditional power cage.

Why would you want to know this, because if you put something on top of the washing machine, you won't be able to add or remove clothes.

That being said, depending on how the weight is applied (is the weight concentrated point load or is it a spread load). As a spread load, several hundred pounds, as a point load less than 100.

This does not consider applying weight to the head.

To find the manual go to iconfitness.com and download the manual for WEBE37340 (free)(thec650) you can also find replacement parts there on the site. Those brackets are actually called your spotter racks/weight rests. I believe they are part number 53 in the back of the manual.
Good Luck Tim

Right Click on an open spot on your desktop.

If your Operating System is Windows XP, choose Properties from the menu box that pops up when you right click.

A new window will open up. Click the Settings tab at the top right.
On this menu you should see a slider bar near the bottom left under "Screen Resolution". Left Click and hold the mouse button on the grey button and move it on the slider bar over to the right one spot. Then click the Apply button on the bottom right of the box. The screen may flicker for a second and your desktop will change size. If the screen covers the whole monitor and the black bars are gone, that may be the correct resolution. Click OK on the box that has a timer and is asking if you want to keep the screen that size. If the screen does not look correct, click No and you may need to slide the button one more spot over and try the next resolution and Apply until it looks correct.

Under the slider bar as you move it over a line at a time will be 2 numbers like this 1024 X 800, and when you move the bar over the numbers will change. I believe the optimal resolution setting numbers for the 20" monitor you have should be 1680 X 1050 for the widescreen. You may want to try that setting. If it looks too small, try sliding the bar to the left and try each resolution setting.

Here's a screetshot of what the Box with the slider bar looks like: http://technophobik.co.uk/vxp_control_panel/f007_settings.asp
