IMPORTANT PRECAUTIONS
WARNING: To reduce the risk of serious injury, read the following important precautions
before using the weight system.
1. Read all instructions in this manual and all
arnings on the weight system before using
w
the weight system. Use the weight system
only as described in this manual.
2. It is the responsibility of the owner to ensure
that all users of the weight system are adequately informed of all precautions.
3. The weight system is intended for home use
only. Do not use the weight system in any
commercial, rental, or institutional setting.
4. Keep the weight system indoors, away from
moisture and dust. Place the weight system

protect the floor or carpet. Make sure that
there is enough clearance around the weight
system to mount, dismount, and use the
weight system.
5. Inspect and properly tighten all parts regular-
ly. Replace any worn parts immediately.
6. Keep children under 12 and pets away from
the weight system at all times.
7. Keep hands and feet away from moving parts.
8. Always wear athletic shoes for foot protec-
tion while exercising.
9. Make sure that the cables remain on the pul-
leys at all times. If the cables bind as you are
exercising, stop immediately and make sure
that the cables are on the pulleys. Replace all
ables at least every two years.
c
10. The weight system is designed to support a

ASSEMBLY
ake Assembly Easier for Yourself
M
Everything in this manual is designed to
ensure that the weight system can be assembled successfully by almost anyone. Before
beginning assembly, make sure to read the
information on this page. This brief introduction will save you much more time than
it takes to read it.
Hire an Authorized Service Technician
To hire an authorized service technician to
assemble the weight system, call toll-free
1-800-445-2480.
Assembly Requires Two Persons
For your convenience and safety, assemble the
weight system with the help of another person.
Set Aside Enough Time
Assembling the weight system may require several
hours. By deciding to make the task enjoyable,
assembly will go smoothly. You may want to assemble the weight system over a couple of evenings.
Select a Location for the Weight System
Because of its weight and size, the weight system
should be assembled in the location where it will be
used. Make sure that there is enough clearance to
walk around the weight system
How to Unpack the Box
To make assembly as easy as possible, we have
divided the assembly process into four stages.
parts needed for each stage are found in individual
bags.
Important: Wait until you begin each stage
to open the parts bag for that stage. Place all
as you assemble it.
The
parts of the weight system in a cleared area and
remove the packing materials. Do not dispose of the
acking materials until assembly is completed.
p
The included Allen wrench and grease,
and the following tools (not included) may be
required for assembly:
• Two adjustable wrenches
• One standard screwdriver
• One phillips screwdriver
• One rubber mallet
• A small amount of soapy water, and clear tape or
masking tape.
Note: Assembly may be more convenient if you have
a socket set, a set of open-end or closed-end
wrenches, or a set of ratchet wrenches.
How to Identify Parts
To help you identify the small parts used in assembly,
we have included a PART IDENTIFICATION CHART
on pages 5 and 6 of this manual. Note: Some parts
may have been pre-attached. If a part is not in the
parts bag, check to see if it has been preattached.

DJUSTMENTS, beginning below.
A
Before using the weight system, pull each cable a few times to make sure that the cables move smoothly
over the pulleys. If one of the cables does not move smoothly, find and correct the problem. IMPORTANT:
If the cables are not properly installed, they may be damaged when heavy weight is used. See the
ABLE DIAGRAMS on pages 29 and 30 of this manual for proper cable routing. If there is any slack
C
in the cables, you will need to remove the slack by tightening the cables (see page 28).
ADJUSTMENTS
This section explains how to adjust the weight system. See the EXERCISE GUIDELINES on page 32 for important
information about how to get the most benefit from your exercise program. Also, refer to the accompanying exercise guide to see the correct form for each exercise.
Make sure all parts are properly tightened each time the weight system is used. Replace any worn parts immediately. The weight system can be cleaned with a damp cloth and a mild, non-abrasive detergent. Do not use solvents.
CHANGING THE WEIGHT SETTING
To change the setting of a weight stack, insert the
Weight Pin (93) under the desired Weight (34). Insert
the Weight Pin so that the bent end touches the
weight stack. Turn the bent end down.
Note: Due to the cables and pulleys, the amount of
resistance at each exercise station may vary from
the weight setting. Use the WEIGHT RESISTANCE
CHART on page 31 to find the approximate
amount of resistance at each weight station.

TIGHTENING THE CABLES
Woven cable, the type of cable used on the weight
system, can stretch slightly when it is first used. If
there is slack in the cables before resistance is felt,
the cables should be tightened. To tighten the cables,
first insert the weight pin into the middle of the weight
stack. Slack can be removed from these cables in
several ways:
See drawing A. Remove the M10 Nylon Locknut (111)
and the M10 x 50mm Bolt (106) from the indicated
Pulley (43), Cable Trap (48), Half Finger Guards (46),
and Pulley Plates (49). Reattach the Pulley, Cable
Trap, and Finger Guards using a hole closer to the
center of the Pulley Plates.
Cable Trap is oriented to hold the cable in the
groove of the Pulley, that the Finger Guards are
oriented as shown, and that the Cable and Pulley
move smoothly. Adjust the top Pulley (43) in the
same manner, if necessary.
See drawing B. Adjust the Pulley (43) attached to the
Small Pulley Plate (50) as described above. To
remove more slack, tighten the M6 Nylon Locknut
(103) further onto the end of the Press Cable (72).

EXERCISE GUIDELINES
THE FOUR BASIC TYPES OF WORKOUTS
Muscle Building
To increase the size and strength of your muscles,
push them close to their maximum capacity. Your muscles will adapt and grow as you progressively increase
the intensity of your exercise. You can adjust the intensity level of an individual exercise in two ways:
• by changing the amount of weight used
• by changing the number of repetitions or sets performed. (A “repetition” is one complete cycle of an
exercise, such as one sit-up. A “set” is a series of
repetitions.)
The proper amount of weight for each exercise
depends upon the individual user. You must gauge
your limits and select the amount of weight that is right
for you. Begin with 3 sets of 8 repetitions for each
exercise you perform. Rest for 3 minutes after each
set. When you can complete 3 sets of 12 repetitions
without difficulty, increase the amount of weight.
Toning
You can tone your muscles by pushing them to a moderate percentage of their capacity. Select a moderate
amount of weight and increase the number of repetitions in each set. Complete as many sets of 15 to 20
repetitions as possible without discomfort. Rest for 1
minute after each set. Work your muscles by completing more sets rather than by using high amounts of
weight.
Weight Loss
To lose weight, use a low amount of weight and
increase the number of repetitions in each set.
Exercise for 20 to 30 minutes, resting for a maximum
of 30 seconds between sets.
Cross T
Cross training is an efficient way to get a complete and
well-balanced fitness program.

time to regenerate.
The combination of strength training and aerobic exercise will reshape and strengthen your body

PERSONALIZING YOUR EXERCISE PROGRAM
Determining the exact length of time for each workout,
as well as the number of repetitions or sets completed,
is an individual matter. It is important to avoid overdoing it during the first few months of your exercise program. You should progress at your own pace and be
sensitive to your body’s signals. If you experience pain
or dizziness at any time while exercising, stop immediately and begin cooling down. Find out what is wrong
before continuing. Remember that adequate rest and a
proper diet are important factors in any exercise program.
WARMING UP
Begin each workout with 5 to 10 minutes of stretching
and light exercise to warm up. Warming up prepares
your body for more strenuous exercise by increasing
circulation, raising your body temperature and delivering more oxygen to your muscles.
WORKING OUT
Each workout should include 6 to 10 different exercises. Select exercises for every major muscle group,
emphasizing areas that you want to develop most. To
give balance and variety to your workouts, vary the
exercises from session to session.
Schedule your workouts for the time of day when your
energy level is the highest. Each workout should be
followed by at least one day of rest. Once you find the
schedule that is right for you, stick with it.
EXERCISE FORM
Maintaining proper form is an essential part of an
fective exercise program. This requires moving
ef
through the full range of motion for each exercise, and
moving only the appropriate parts of the body
Exercising in an uncontrolled manner will leave you
feeling exhausted. On the exercise guide accompany
ing this manual you will find photographs showing the
correct form for several exercises, and a list of the
muscles af
next page to find the names of the muscles.
The repetitions in each set should be performed
smoothly and without pausing.
each repetition should last about half as long as the
return stage. Proper breathing is important. Exhale
during the exertion stage of each repetition and inhale
during the return stroke. Never hold your breath.

out.
• Rest for 30 seconds after each set for a weight loss
workout.
Plan to spend the first couple of weeks familiarizing
yourself with the equipment and learning the proper
form for each exercise.
COOLING DOWN
End each workout with 5 to 10 minutes of stretching.
Include stretches for both your arms and legs. Move
lowly as you stretch and do not bounce. Ease into
s
each stretch gradually and go only as far as you can
without strain. Stretching at the end of each workout
is an effective way to increase flexibility.
STAYING MOTIVATED
For motivation, keep a record of each workout. List the
date, the exercises performed, the resistance used,
and the numbers of sets and repetitions completed.
Record your weight and key body measurements at
the end of every month. Remember, the key to achieving the greatest results is to make exercise a regular
