ASSEMBLY

Make Things Easier for Yourself

Everything in this manual is designed to ensure
that the weight system can be assembled suc­cessfully by anyone. Most people find that by
setting aside plenty of time, assembly will go
smoothly.

Before beginning assembly, carefully read the
following information and instructions:

Assembly requires two people.

•

• Place all parts in a cleared area and remove the

packing materials. Do not dispose of the packing
materials until assembly is completed.

• Tighten all parts as you assemble them, unless
instructed to do otherwise.

1.

Before beginning assembly, make sure you
understand the information in the box
above. Important: Some of the parts
described in the assembly steps may be
pre-assembled.

• As you assemble the weight system, make sure

all parts are oriented as shown in the drawings.

An Allen wrench and the following tools (not

ncluded) are required for assembly:

i

• Two adjustable wrenches

• One standard screwdriver

• One Phillips screwdriver

• Lubricant (three grease packs are included).

Assembly will be more convenient if you have a
socket set, a set of open-end or closed-end
wrenches, or a set of ratchet wrenches.

Attach a Stabilizer (3) to the bottom of the Frame
(1), as shown, with four 3/8” x 3 1/2” Button Head
Screws (58), eight 3/8” SAE Washers (55), and
four 3/8” Nylon Locknuts (63).

Attach the other Stabilizer (3) to the other side
of the Frame (1) in the same manner.

If the floor beneath the weight system is not
even, level the weight system by placing
1 5/8” x 2 1/2” x 1/8” Spacers (83) between the
the appropriate Rubber Feet (50) and the
Stabilizer (3), and replacing the #8 x 3/4”
Screws (not shown) with #8 x 1” Screws (see

TIGHTENING THE CABLE

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 Cable (33) when the arms are in
the straight up position before resistance is felt, the
Cable should be tightened. Note: There will be slack

n the Cable when the arms are in any other position.

i

Slack can be removed from the Cable (33) by moving
either or both of the indicated 4 1/2” Pulleys (34) in
the brackets on the Top Weight (15). First, remove
the Shroud (not shown). Then, loosen a 3/8” x 2 1/2”
Bolt (77) and a 3/8” Nylon Locknut (63), and move
the Pulley down. Finally,

(78) are oriented as shown in the Cable Diagram
on page 9, and retighten the Bolt and Nylon Locknut.

Replace the Shroud.

CHANGING ACCESSORIES

attached to a Cable Eye (37) with a Cable Clip (10).
Attach the other Handle to the other Cable Eye in the
same manner.

REINSTALLING THE CABLE

If the cable tends to slip off the pulleys, the cable may have become twisted. Remove the cable and re­install it.

1. Create slack in the cable by removing the weight pin and pulling one of the handles out six to eight inches.

Insert the weight pin into the third weight plate and the tube on the bottom of the top weight.

2. Push the black rubber coupler cover off the aluminum coupler and slide the cover up the cable to contact the

swivel arm.

3. Loosen the four 1/4” x 1/4” screws in the coupler and pull the cable free.

4. Remove the cable from the weight system.

Reinstall the cable. (Refer to the the CABLE DIAGRAM on page 9 for proper cable routing.)

5.

6. Reinsert the cable and the sheath into the coupler so that all of the bare cable is in the hole.

7. Retighten the four screws into the threaded holes. Tighten the screws equally until they contact the cable.

Then, tighten each screw alternately 1/4 turn, until all are set to 85 inch/pounds.

8. Slide the rubber coupler cover over the coupler, remove the weight pin, and lower the handle.

Note: If the cable needs to be replaced, see ORDERING REPLACEMENT PARTS on the back cover of this
manual.

CABLE DIAGRAM

The cable diagram shows the proper routing of the
cable. Use the diagram to make sure that the cable
and the cable traps have been assembled correctly. If
the cable has not been correctly routed, the weight

ystem will not function properly and damage may

s
occur. The numbers show the correct route for the
cable. Make sure that the cable traps do not touch

or bind the cable. Note: The indicated cable traps
on pulleys 4 and 7 should be in a five o’clock
position, as shown.
