Posted on by teamrpm

A true embodiment of power and precision, the Multi-Gym Kratos stands as a tribute to its mythological namesake — the Norse god of strength. Built from heavy-duty 2mm steel, Kratos is engineered for performance, making it ideal for both home gyms and semi-commercial training spaces. With a unique 1:1 pulley ratio, dual 70kg weight stacks, and an integrated Smith machine, this powerhouse rack delivers an uncompromising training experience for users of all levels — from seasoned athletes to those beginning their strength journey.

Whether you’re considering the Multi-Gym Kratos or have already made it part of your home gym, this guide provides everything you need to know about assembly, maintenance, and best practice usage tips. With our step-by-step assembly video and detailed instruction manual, getting started with Kratos is simple, safe and efficient — so you can focus on building strength and confidence from the very first session. We’ll also cover essential maintenance guidelines to help keep your Kratos in top condition for years to come.

Multi-Gym Kratos Assembly

Setting up your Multi-Gym Kratos is straightforward thanks to our step-by-step video guide and comprehensive instruction manual, both designed to help you assemble your machine safely and efficiently. To make the process smoother, we recommend using a ratchet screwdriver or drill, though a spanner will also do the job. All required Allen keys are provided with your Kratos.

When assembling the main frame, avoid fully tightening all bolts at the beginning — a little flexibility is often needed in later steps to ensure proper alignment of parts. Once the structure is complete and correctly aligned, you can go back and tighten everything securely.

Take particular care with the cables, ensuring they sit neatly in the groove of each idler pulley wheel. Proper cable placement is crucial for smooth, consistent movement and will help prevent unnecessary wear.

Finally, always prioritise safety. The safety guidelines outlined in the instruction PDF below should be reviewed carefully before using your Kratos. Only operate this equipment if you are familiar with strength machines and follow correct form and technique at all times to ensure a safe and effective workout.

Multi-Gym Kratos Maintenance

Regular maintenance will keep your Multi-Gym Kratos operating smoothly and safely for years to come. Before each session, perform a quick visual inspection of the entire rack — check for any signs of wear, loose bolts, or damage. If you notice an issue, address it immediately or contact RPM Power Support for assistance.

Be sure to tighten bolts, screws, and nuts routinely, paying close attention to key areas such as safety catches, bar holders, and frame connections. Even slightly loose fittings can affect stability and safety during training.

Inspect the cables regularly for any fraying, kinks, or wear, and replace them straight away if needed. See below for helpful replacement videos.

Keep your weight stack clean and ensure all plates remain securely attached. Wipe down the frame and attachments with a damp cloth after each session to remove dust, sweat or debris — avoiding abrasive cleaners that may damage the finish. If you notice any squeaking or stiffness, apply a silicone-based lubricant (e.g. WD40 spray) to the pulleys, guide rods and weight stack pins to restore smooth motion.

Consistent upkeep ensures your Kratos remains in peak condition, reducing the risk of injury and extending the life of your investment.

Kratos Cable Replacement

Regular maintenance of multi-gym cables is essential for continued optimum safety and performance. We recommend swapping out your cables for new ones every 1-3 years depending on how often you use the machine and at what weight loads you lift on average. Spare and replacement cables can be purchased from RPM Power. Just reach out to us for more information. Once you have your new cables, the videos below will help you install them.
