IMPORTANT PRECAUTIONS

WARNING: To reduce the risk of serious injury, read the following important precautions before
using the training system.

1. It is the responsibility of the owner to ensure
that all users of the training system are ade­quately informed of all precautions.

2. Read all instructions in this manual and in
the accompanying literature before using the
training system.

3. Use the training system only on a level sur-

face. Place a mat beneath the training sys­tem to protect the floor or carpet.

4. Inspect and tighten all parts often. Replace

any worn parts immediately.

5. Keep children under the age of 12 and pets

away from the training system at all times.

6. Never release the press arm, butterfly arms,

leg lever, leg press plate, lat bar, ab strap, or
nylon strap while weights are raised. The
weights will fall with great force.

7. Keep hands and feet away from moving parts.

8. Always wear athletic shoes for foot protec-

tion.

9. Always stand on the foot plate when per-

forming an exercise that could cause the
training system to tip.

10. When using the leg press station, always be

sure that the lock pin is fully inserted and
that the lock pin is clipped in place on the

adjustment tube (see page 23).

11. Make sure that the cables remain on the pul­leys at all times. If the cables bind while you
are exercising, stop immediately and make
sure that the cables are on all of the pulleys.

12. Always disconnect the lat bar from the train

­ing system when performing an exercise that
does not use the lat bar.

13. If you feel pain or dizziness at any time while
exercising, stop immediately and begin cool­ing down.

14. The training system is intended for home use
only. Do not use the training system in any
commercial, rental, or institutional setting.

15. The decal shown
at the right has
been attached to
the training sys­tem in the two
locations shown
on page 4. If a
decal is missing
or illegible,
please call toll­free 1-888-936­4266 to order a
free replacement
decal. Apply the
decal in the loca­tion shown.

WARNING: Before beginning this or any exercise program, consult your physician. This is especially
important for persons over the age of 35 or persons with pre-existing health problems. Read all
instructions before using. ICON assumes no responsibility for personal injury or property damage

number and serial number before calling. The model
number is WESY8630C3. The serial number can be

ASSEMBLY

Make sure you have the following tools:

• Two (2) adjustable wrenches

• One (1) standard screwdriver

• One (1) phillips screwdriver

• One (1) rubber mallet

• You will also need grease or petroleum jelly, a

small amount of soapy water, and clear tape or
masking tape.

Note: 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.

How to Identify Parts

To help you identify the small parts used in assembly,
we have included a PART IDENTIFICATION CHART
in the center of this manual. Place the chart on the
floor and use it to easily identify parts during each
assembly step. Note: Some small parts may have

been pre-attached. If a part is not in the parts
bag, check to see if it has been pre-attached.

How to Orient Parts

As you assemble the training system, make sure
that all parts are oriented exactly as shown in the
drawings.

Tightening Parts

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

Questions?

If you have questions after reading the assembly
instructions, please call our Customer Service
Department toll-free at 1-888-936-4266, Mon.–Fri.,
8 a.m.–6:30 p.m. EST (excluding holidays).

Assembly Requires Two Persons

For your convenience and safety, assemble the
training system with the help of another person.

Set Aside Enough Time

Due to the many features of the training system,
the assembly process will require about six hours.
By setting aside plenty of time and by deciding to
make the task enjoyable, assembly will go smoothly.
You may want to assemble the training system over
a couple of evenings.

Select a Location for the Training
System

Because of its weight and size, the training system
should be assembled in the location where it will be
used. Make sure that there is enough room to walk
around the training system as you assemble it.

How to Unpack the Box

To make assembly as easy as possible, we have
divided the assembly process into four stages. The
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
parts of the training system in a cleared area and
remove the packing materials. Do not dispose of
the packing materials until assembly is completed.

Make Assembly Easier for Yourself!

Everything in this manual is designed to
ensure that the training system can be
assembled successfully by 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!

“CABLE ASSEMBLY” and “PULLEYS.”

During steps 19 through 50, refer to the
CABLE DIAGRAMS on pages 26 and 27 of
this manual to verify proper cable routing.
Before beginning this section, fully unwind the
five Cables and identify the Cables by com­paring the lengths and the ends. The approxi­mate length of each Cable, in inches, is listed
after the key number in the drawing.

IMPORTANT: While assembling the cables,
do not overtighten the bolts and nuts
attaching the pulleys. The pulleys must be
able to turn freely.

20. Insert a 5/16” x 1” Bolt (51) through the brack­et on the Right Fly Arm (5). Tighten a 5/16”
Nylon Jam Nut (91) onto the Bolt.

Identify the Butterfly Cable (89)—this is the
second shortest Cable. Slide one end of the

Butterfly Cable onto the 5/16” x 1” Bolt (51).
Thread another 5/16” Nylon Jam Nut (91)
onto the Bolt, but do not fully tighten it.

Leave enough room between the two Jam
Nuts for the Cable to pivot.
