WEIGHT GUIDE LUBRICATION
Clean and lubricate the full length of each weight guide by wiping it with a soft cloth containing a lightweight
motor oil, 10W-40 or 10W-30 weight. Apply only a light coating over the entire length of the weight guide.
not use TEFLON®or silicone-based lubricants.
CABLE INSPECTION
Check the entire length of each cable by slowly performing one repetition on the exercise equipment;
inspect the cable that is exposed on the exterior of
the strength equipment and the cable inside the
tower. Run your fingers along the cable, paying close
attention at the bends and attachment points. Watch
for the conditions shown on the right, which may indicate a worn cable in need of replacement.

CABLE ADJUSTMENT
Woven cable, the type of cable used on the weight
station, can stretch slightly when it is first used. If
there is slack in the cables before resistance is felt,
the cables should be tightened.
See CHANGING THE WEIGHT SETTING on page
16. Insert the pin into one of the weights. Next,
remove an M10 Thick Nylon Locknut (38) and an
M10 x 54mm Bolt (41) from the two Pulley Plates
(16), a Cable Trap (15), and a Small Pulley (14).
Reattach the Small Pulley and the Cable T
hole closer to the center of the Pulley Plates. Make
sure that the Cable Trap is in the proper position
and that the Short Cable (36), the Long Cable (39),
and the Small Pulleys move smoothly.
Do not overtighten the cables. If a cable tends to
slip off the pulleys often, it may have become
twisted. Remove the cable and reinstall it. If a
cable needs to be replaced, see HOW TO CONTACT
CUSTOMER CARE on the back cover of this manual.

EXERCISE GUIDELINES
HE FOUR BASIC TYPES OF WORKOUTS
T
Muscle Building
To increase the size and strength of your muscles,
ush them close to their maximum capacity. Your mus-
p
cles will continually 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 resistance used
• by changing the number of repetitions or sets per-
formed. (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 resistance for each exercise
depends upon the individual user. You must gauge
your limits and select the amount of resistance 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 resistance.
Toning
You can tone your muscles by pushing them to a moderate percentage of their capacity. Select a moderate
amount of resistance 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
resistance.
Weight Loss
o lose weight, use a low amount of resistance and
T
increase the number of repetitions in each set.
Exercise for 20 to 30 minutes, resting for a maximum
of 30 seconds between sets.
Cross Training
Cross training is an efficient way to get a complete and
well-balanced fitness program. An example of a balanced program follows:
• Plan strength training workouts on Monday,
ednesday
W
Plan 20 to 30 minutes of aerobic exercise, such as
•
running on a treadmill or riding on an elliptical exer
ciser or exercise cycle, on T
• Rest from both strength training and aerobic exercise
for at least one full day each week to give your body
time to regenerate.
The combination of strength training and aerobic exer
cise will reshape and strengthen your body
op your heart and lungs.

ERSONALIZING YOUR EXERCISE PROGRAM
P
Determining the appropriate length of time for each
workout, and the numbers of repetitions and sets to
omplete, is an individual matter. Avoid overdoing it
c
during the first few months of your exercise program.
Progress at your own pace and be sensitive to your
body’s signals. If you experience pain or dizziness
while exercising, stop immediately and cool 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 workout to workout.
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
effective exercise program. This requires moving
through the full range of motion for each exercise, and
moving only the appropriate parts of the body.
Exercising in an uncontrolled way will leave you feeling exhausted. On the exercise guide accompanying
this manual you will find photographs showing the correct form for several exercises, and a list of the mus-
fected. See the muscle chart on the next page
cles af
to find the names of the muscles.
The repetitions in each set should be performed
smoothly and without pausing. The exertion stage of
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.

e
return stage. Proper breathing is important. Exhale
uring the exertion stage of each repetition and inhale
d
during the return stroke. Never hold your breath.
Rest for a short period of time after each set. The
ideal resting periods are:
• Rest for three minutes after each set for a muscle
building workout.
• Rest for one minute after each set for a toning work-
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
nd each workout with 5 to 10 minutes of stretching.
E
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. The key to achieving the
greatest results is to make exercise a regular and
enjoyable part of your everyday life.

MAINTENANCE
Make sure that all parts are properly tightened each time the weight station is used. Replace any worn parts
immediately. Clean the weight station with a damp cloth and a mild, non-abrasive detergent; do not use sol-
vents to clean the weight station
WEIGHT GUIDE LUBRICATION
Clean and lubricate the full length of each weight guide by wiping it with a soft cloth containing a lightweight
motor oil, 10W-40 or 10W-30 weight. Apply only a light coating over the entire length of the weight guide.
not use TEFLON®or silicone-based lubricants.
CABLE INSPECTION
Check the entire length of each cable by slowly performing one repetition on the exercise equipment;
inspect the cable that is exposed on the exterior of
the strength equipment and the cable inside the
tower. Run your fingers along the cable, paying close
attention at the bends and attachment points. Watch

CABLE ADJUSTMENT
Woven cable, the type of cable used on the weight
station, can stretch slightly when it is first used. If
there is slack in the cables before resistance is felt,
the cables should be tightened.

EXERCISE GUIDELINES
HE FOUR BASIC TYPES OF WORKOUTS
T
Muscle Building
To increase the size and strength of your muscles,
ush them close to their maximum capacity. Your mus-
p
cles will continually 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 resistance used
• by changing the number of repetitions or sets per-
formed. (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 resistance for each exercise
depends upon the individual user. You must gauge
your limits and select the amount of resistance 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 resistance.
Toning
You can tone your muscles by pushing them to a moderate percentage of their capacity. Select a moderate
amount of resistance 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
resistance.
Weight Loss
o lose weight, use a low amount of resistance and
T
increase the number of repetitions in each set.
Exercise for 20 to 30 minutes, resting for a maximum
of 30 seconds between sets.
Cross Training
Cross training is an efficient way to get a complete and
well-balanced fitness program. An example of a balanced program follows:
• Plan strength training workouts on Monday,
ednesday
W
Plan 20 to 30 minutes of aerobic exercise, such as
•
running on a treadmill or riding on an elliptical exer
ciser or exercise cycle, on T
• Rest from both strength training and aerobic exercise
for at least one full day each week to give your body
time to regenerate.
The combination of strength training and aerobic exer
cise will reshape and strengthen your body
op your heart and lungs.

ERSONALIZING YOUR EXERCISE PROGRAM
P
Determining the appropriate length of time for each
workout, and the numbers of repetitions and sets to
omplete, is an individual matter. Avoid overdoing it
c
during the first few months of your exercise program.
Progress at your own pace and be sensitive to your
body’s signals. If you experience pain or dizziness
while exercising, stop immediately and cool 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 workout to workout.
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
effective exercise program. This requires moving
through the full range of motion for each exercise, and
moving only the appropriate parts of the body.
Exercising in an uncontrolled way will leave you feeling exhausted. On the exercise guide accompanying
this manual you will find photographs showing the correct form for several exercises, and a list of the mus-
fected. See the muscle chart on the next page
cles af
to find the names of the muscles.
The repetitions in each set should be performed
smoothly and without pausing. The exertion stage of
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.

uring the exertion stage of each repetition and inhale
d
during the return stroke. Never hold your breath.
Rest for a short period of time after each set. The
ideal resting periods are:
• Rest for three minutes after each set for a muscle
building workout.
• Rest for one minute after each set for a toning work-
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
nd each workout with 5 to 10 minutes of stretching.
E
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. The key to achieving the
greatest results is to make exercise a regular and
enjoyable part of your everyday life.

MAINTENANCE
Make sure that all parts are properly tightened each time the weight station is used. Replace any worn parts
immediately. Clean the weight station with a damp cloth and a mild, non-abrasive detergent; do not use sol-
vents to clean the weight station
WEIGHT GUIDE LUBRICATION
Clean and lubricate the full length of each weight guide by wiping it with a soft cloth containing a lightweight
motor oil, 10W-40 or 10W-30 weight. Apply only a light coating over the entire length of the weight guide.
not use TEFLON®or silicone-based lubricants.
CABLE INSPECTION
Check the entire length of each cable by slowly performing one repetition on the exercise equipment;
inspect the cable that is exposed on the exterior of
the strength equipment and the cable inside the
tower. Run your fingers along the cable, paying close
attention at the bends and attachment points. Watch
for the conditions shown on the right, which may indicate a worn cable in need of replacement.

CABLE ADJUSTMENT
Woven cable, the type of cable used on the weight
station, can stretch slightly when it is first used. If
there is slack in the cable before resistance is felt, the
cable should be tightened.
Remove the M10 Thick Nylon Locknut (38) and the
M10 x 86mm Bolt (84) from the “U”-brackets (16, 63),
the two Pulley Spacers (29), the Cable Trap (15), and
the Small Pulley (14). Reattach the Small Pulley, the
Cable Trap, and the Pulley Spacers to a lower hole in
the “U”-brackets.
in the proper position and that the Cable (36) and
the Small Pulley move smoothly.
Do not overtighten the cables. If a cable tends to
slip off the pulleys often, it may have become
twisted. Remove the cable and reinstall it. If a
cable needs to be replaced, see HOW TO CONTACT

EXERCISE GUIDELINES
HE FOUR BASIC TYPES OF WORKOUTS
T
Muscle Building
To increase the size and strength of your muscles,
ush them close to their maximum capacity. Your mus-
p
cles will continually 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 resistance used
• by changing the number of repetitions or sets per-
formed. (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 resistance for each exercise
depends upon the individual user. You must gauge
your limits and select the amount of resistance 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 resistance.
Toning
You can tone your muscles by pushing them to a moderate percentage of their capacity. Select a moderate
amount of resistance 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
resistance.
Weight Loss
o lose weight, use a low amount of resistance and
T
increase the number of repetitions in each set.
Exercise for 20 to 30 minutes, resting for a maximum
of 30 seconds between sets.
Cross Training
Cross training is an efficient way to get a complete and
well-balanced fitness program. An example of a balanced program follows:
• Plan strength training workouts on Monday,
ednesday
W
Plan 20 to 30 minutes of aerobic exercise, such as
•
running on a treadmill or riding on an elliptical exer
ciser or exercise cycle, on T
• Rest from both strength training and aerobic exercise
for at least one full day each week to give your body
time to regenerate.
The combination of strength training and aerobic exer
cise will reshape and strengthen your body
op your heart and lungs.

ERSONALIZING YOUR EXERCISE PROGRAM
P
Determining the appropriate length of time for each
workout, and the numbers of repetitions and sets to
omplete, is an individual matter. Avoid overdoing it
c
during the first few months of your exercise program.
Progress at your own pace and be sensitive to your
body’s signals. If you experience pain or dizziness
while exercising, stop immediately and cool 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 workout to workout.
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
effective exercise program. This requires moving
through the full range of motion for each exercise, and
moving only the appropriate parts of the body.
Exercising in an uncontrolled way will leave you feeling exhausted. On the exercise guide accompanying
this manual you will find photographs showing the correct form for several exercises, and a list of the mus-
fected. See the muscle chart on the next page
cles af
to find the names of the muscles.
The repetitions in each set should be performed
smoothly and without pausing. The exertion stage of
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.

uring the exertion stage of each repetition and inhale
d
during the return stroke. Never hold your breath.
Rest for a short period of time after each set. The
ideal resting periods are:
• Rest for three minutes after each set for a muscle
building workout.
• Rest for one minute after each set for a toning work-
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
nd each workout with 5 to 10 minutes of stretching.
E
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. Write
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. The key to achieving
the greatest results is to make exercise a regular and
enjoyable part of your everyday life.

ASSEMBLY
Make Assembly Easier
verything in this manual is designed to ensure
E
that the weight station can be assembled successfully by almost anyone. By setting aside
plenty of time, assembly will go smoothly.
Before beginning assembly, carefully read the
following information and instructions:
• Assembly requires two persons.
• Because of its weight and size, the weight station
should be assembled in the location where it will
be used. Make sure that there is enough clearance to walk around the weight station as you
assemble it.

stations.
• Place all parts in a cleared area and remove the
packing materials. Do not dispose of the packing
materials until assembly is completed.
If attaching additional stations to

MAINTENANCE
Make sure that all parts are properly tightened each time the weight station is used. Replace any worn parts
immediately. Clean the weight station with a damp cloth and a mild, non-abrasive detergent; do not use sol-
vents to clean the weight station
WEIGHT GUIDE LUBRICATION
Clean and lubricate the full length of each weight guide by wiping it with a soft cloth containing a lightweight
motor oil, 10W-40 or 10W-30 weight. Apply only a light coating over the entire length of the weight guide.
not use TEFLON®or silicone-based lubricants.
CABLE INSPECTION
Check the entire length of each cable by slowly performing one repetition on the exercise equipment;
inspect the cable that is exposed on the exterior of
the strength equipment and the cable inside the
tower. Run your fingers along the cable, paying close
attention at the bends and attachment points. Watch
for the conditions shown on the right, which may indicate a worn cable in need of replacement.

CABLE ADJUSTMENT
Woven cable, the type of cable used on the weight
station, can stretch slightly when it is first used. If
there is slack in the cables before resistance is felt,
the cables should be tightened.
Remove the M8 Nylon Locknut (74) and the M8 x
25mm Shoulder Bolt (73) from the indicated bracket
and the Cable (36). Reattach the Cable to the Top
Frame (1
Do not overtighten the cables. If a cable tends to
slip off the pulleys often, it may have become
twisted. Remove the cable and reinstall it. If a
cable needs to be replaced, see HOW TO CONTACT

EXERCISE GUIDELINES
HE FOUR BASIC TYPES OF WORKOUTS
T
Muscle Building
To increase the size and strength of your muscles,
ush them close to their maximum capacity. Your mus-
p
cles will continually 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 resistance used
• by changing the number of repetitions or sets per-
formed. (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 resistance for each exercise
depends upon the individual user. You must gauge
your limits and select the amount of resistance 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 resistance.
Toning
You can tone your muscles by pushing them to a moderate percentage of their capacity. Select a moderate
amount of resistance 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
resistance.
Weight Loss
o lose weight, use a low amount of resistance and
T
increase the number of repetitions in each set.
Exercise for 20 to 30 minutes, resting for a maximum
of 30 seconds between sets.
Cross Training
Cross training is an efficient way to get a complete and
well-balanced fitness program. An example of a balanced program follows:
• Plan strength training workouts on Monday,
ednesday
W
Plan 20 to 30 minutes of aerobic exercise, such as
•
running on a treadmill or riding on an elliptical exer
ciser or exercise cycle, on T
• Rest from both strength training and aerobic exercise
for at least one full day each week to give your body
time to regenerate.
The combination of strength training and aerobic exer
cise will reshape and strengthen your body
op your heart and lungs.

ERSONALIZING YOUR EXERCISE PROGRAM
P
Determining the appropriate length of time for each
workout, and the numbers of repetitions and sets to
omplete, is an individual matter. Avoid overdoing it
c
during the first few months of your exercise program.
Progress at your own pace and be sensitive to your
body’s signals. If you experience pain or dizziness
while exercising, stop immediately and cool 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 workout to workout.
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
effective exercise program. This requires moving
through the full range of motion for each exercise, and
moving only the appropriate parts of the body.
Exercising in an uncontrolled way will leave you feeling exhausted. On the exercise guide accompanying
this manual you will find photographs showing the correct form for several exercises, and a list of the mus-
fected. See the muscle chart on the next page
cles af
to find the names of the muscles.
The repetitions in each set should be performed
smoothly and without pausing. The exertion stage of
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.

e
return stage. Proper breathing is important. Exhale
uring the exertion stage of each repetition and inhale
d
during the return stroke. Never hold your breath.
Rest for a short period of time after each set. The
ideal resting periods are:
• Rest for three minutes after each set for a muscle
building workout.
• Rest for one minute after each set for a toning work-
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
nd each workout with 5 to 10 minutes of stretching.
E
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. The key to achieving the
greatest results is to make exercise a regular and
enjoyable part of your everyday life.
