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 1-888-825-2588 Monday
through Friday, 6 a.m. until 6 p.m. Mountain Time.
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 a few 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 three 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!
The Three Stages of the Assembly Process
Frame AssemblyÑYou will begin by assembling
the base and the uprights that serve as the skeleton of the training system.
Cable AssemblyÑDuring this stage you will
attach the cables and pulleys that connect the
arms with each other and with the weights.
Arm and Seat AssemblyÑDuring this stage you
will assemble the arms and the leg lever, the
seat, the backrest, and other miscellaneous parts.

Tightening the Cables
Woven cable, the type of cable used on the training 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 (39)
under the third Weight (26) from the top. Next, loosen
the 1/2Ó Plain Nut (68) securing the bolt at the end of the
High Cable (73). Tighten the bolt two turns into the
Weight Tube (36) until the cables feel tighter. Tighten the
Plain Nut to prevent the bolt from turning.
Note: For clarity, the drawing shows the shrouds
removed. It is not necessary to remove the shrouds.

Additional slack can be removed by moving the indicated
4Ó Pulleys (35) to different holes in the Pulley Plates (31).
To do this, remove the 3/8Ó x 1 3/4Ó Bolt (60), the Cable
Trap (44), and the 3/8Ó Nylon Jamnut (63) from the
lower Pulley. Move the Pulley to a higher hole and reattach it with the Bolt, Cable Trap, and Nylon Jamnut.
Make sure that the Low Cable (72) is in the groove
of the Pulley and that the Cable Trap is turned as
shown. The upper pulley can be adjusted in the
same way.
Slack can also be removed by moving the indicated 4Ó
Pulley (35) to a different hole in the Pulley Bracket (91).
To do this, remove the 3/8Ó x 1 3/4Ó Bolt (60), the Cable
Trap (44), and the 3/8Ó Nylon Jamnut (63) from the
Pulley. Move the Pulley to the lower hole and re-attach
it with the Bolt, Cable Trap, and Nylon Jamnut. Make
sure that the High Cable (73) is in the groove of the
Pulley and that the Cable Trap is turned as shown.
Note: If a cable tends to slip off the pulleys, the
cable may have become twisted. Remove the cable
and re-install it.
If a cable needs to be replaced, refer to the back cover
of this manual.
