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.

The repetitions in each set should be performed smoothly and without pausing. The exertion stage of
ach repetition should last about half as long as the
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 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 M10 Nylon Locknut (38) and the M10 x 53mm Bolt (92) from the “U”-bracket (16), the Cable Trap (15), and the Small Pulley (14). Reattach the Small Pulley and the Cable “U”-bracket.

To further tighten the cables, tighten the M10 x 10mm Nut (98) that connects the end of the Long Cable (39) to the “U”-bracket (16).
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.

The repetitions in each set should be performed smoothly and without pausing. The exertion stage of
ach repetition should last about half as long as the
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 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.

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.

The repetitions in each set should be performed smoothly and without pausing. The exertion stage of
ach repetition should last about half as long as the
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. 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.

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 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

The repetitions in each set should be performed smoothly and without pausing. The exertion stage of
ach repetition should last about half as long as the
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.
