SportsArt Plate Loaded Low Row Machine - A979

The SportsArt Plate Loaded Low Row Machine A979 is a commercial-rated strength machine that uses plate-loaded resistance and leverage movement to isolate the latissimus dorsi, front deltoid, and triceps muscles during low-row exercises. Each presser arm moves independently with two sets of handles (grips facing up, or grips facing each other) to target the back lat muscles at various angles.

Load your plates onto each presser arm weight horn, and store the extra plates on the extra weight plate pegs for storage. The welded heavy-duty steel frame has a sleek appearance created through oval tube steel. Electrostatic powder coating insures the frame finish is scratch-free and ding-resistant for long-term, heavy use. A high-density, molded foam seat and chest pad offer greater comfort & durability that complement the spring-assist pull pin adjustable seat to accommodate any user height.

Maintenance Tips

• Clean After Each Use: Wipe down the seat, backrest, handles, footrests, and frame with a non-abrasive disinfectant after each session to remove sweat, dirt, and grime. This will help maintain hygiene and the machine’s appearance.
• Inspect Handles and Grips: Regularly check the handles for wear or damage. Ensure the grips are securely attached and replace them if they show signs of excessive wear or slippage.
• Lubricate Moving Parts: Apply silicone-based lubricant to the guide rods, pulleys, and other moving components to reduce friction and ensure smooth operation during each use.
• Check Weight Plates and Pins: Ensure the weight plates are sliding smoothly on the guide rods without obstruction. Verify that the weight pins are properly inserted and securely in place before each use to avoid accidents.
• Examine the Seat and Backrest: Regularly inspect the seat and backrest for any signs of wear, damage, or tears. Clean the upholstery with a mild soap solution and replace padding if necessary to maintain comfort and functionality.
• Test the Adjustment Mechanisms: Ensure that seat and chest pad adjustments are smooth and lock securely into place. If there’s any resistance or difficulty adjusting, tighten or service the mechanisms as needed.
• Inspect Fasteners and Bolts: Periodically check all screws, bolts, and fasteners to ensure they are tightly secured. Tighten any loose components to prevent instability and ensure safe operation.
• Check the Cable and Pulley System: Inspect the cables for fraying or signs of wear, and ensure they are properly routed through the pulleys. Replace any damaged cables to avoid failure during use.
• Monitor for Unusual Noises: Listen for any squeaking, grinding, or other unusual noises during use. These could indicate friction or wear on moving components. Lubricate or replace parts as necessary to resolve any issues.
• Schedule Professional Servicing: Arrange for routine maintenance by a professional technician to check internal components, lubricate the mechanical systems, and ensure the machine is in optimal condition. This will extend the machine's life and ensure it remains safe to use.
