Make sure you have the following tools:
• Two adjustable wrenches
• One standard screwdriver
• One phillips screwdriver
• One rubber mallet
• One pair of pliers
•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 weight 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 at 1-888-825-2588.
Assembly Requires Two Persons
For your convenience and safety, assemble the
weight system with the help of another person.
Set Aside Enough Time
Due to the many features of the weight system, the
assembly process will take 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 weight system over a couple
of evenings.
Select a Location for the Weight System
Because of its weight and size, the weight system
should be assembled in the location where it will be
used. Make sure that there is enough room to walk
around the weight 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 weight 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 weight system can be assembled successfully by most people. 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 Assembly—You will
begin by assembling the base
and the uprights that form the
skeleton of the weight system.
Cable Assembly—During this
stage you will attach the cables
and pulleys that connect the
arms to the weights.
Seat Assembly—During the
final stage you will assemble
the seats and the backrests.

CHANGING THE WEIGHT SETTING
To change the weight setting of the weight stack,
insert the Weight Pin w/Tether (67) under the desired
Weight (22, 23). Be sure to insert the Weight Pin until
the bent end of the Weight Pin is touching the
Weights, and turn the bent end downward. The
weight setting of the weight stack can be changed
from 10 pounds to 400 pounds, in increments of 10
and 20 pounds. Note: Due to the cables and pul-
leys, the actual amount of resistance at each
exercise station may vary from the weight setting.
Use the WEIGHT RESISTANCE CHART on page 19

TROUBLESHOOTING AND MAINTENANCE
Make sure all parts are properly tightened each time the weight system is used. Replace any worn parts immediately. The weight system can be cleaned using a damp cloth and mild non-abrasive detergent. Do not use solvents.
TIGHTENING THE CABLES
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 cables before resistance is felt,
the cables should be tightened. Make sure that the
cables are not too tight, or the Top Weight (27) will be
lifted off the weight stack.
Slack can be removed from the cables by tightening
the M6 Nylon Locknut (103) on either end of the High
Cable (63) inside a “U”-bracket (62). It may be necessary to remove the 3 1/2” Pulley (not shown) from
the “U”-bracket to do this.
Additional slack can be removed by moving a 3 1/2”
Pulley (56) between the pair of Long Pulley Plates
(59) to a set of holes closer to the middle of the
Plates. Remove the M10 Nylon Locknut (101) and
the M10 x 46mm Button Head Bolt (76) from the
Cable Trap (105), Pulley, and Pulley Plates. Reattach the Pulley and Cable Trap with the Bolt and
Locknut. Make sure that the Cable Trap is posi-
tioned to hold the cable in place, and that the
cable and Pulley move smoothly.
Note: If a cable tends to slip off the pulleys often,
the cable may have become twisted. Remove the
cable and re-install it.
Additional slack can be removed from the cables by
tightening a cable into the M6 Nylon Locknut (103)
inside a Cable Clip (38). To do this, pull the Clip
Cover (39) back and use a pair of pliers to tighten the
Locknut. Replace the Cover.
If the cables need to be replaced, see ORDERING
REPLACEMENT PARTS on the back cover of this
manual.

CABLE DIAGRAMS
The cable diagrams below show the proper routing of the Low Cable (40), the Press Cables (41), and the High
Cable (63). Use the diagrams to make sure that the cables have been assembled correctly. If the cables have
not been correctly routed, the weight system will not function properly and damage may occur. The numbers
show the correct route for each cable. Make sure that the cable traps do not touch or bind the cables.

EXERCISE GUIDELINES
THE FOUR BASIC TYPES OF WORKOUTS
Muscle Building
To increase the size and strength of your muscles,
push them close to their maximum capacity. Your muscles 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 weight used
• by changing the number of repetitions or sets performed. (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 weight for each exercise
depends upon the individual user. You must gauge
your limits and select the amount of weight 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 weight.
Toning
You can tone your muscles by pushing them to a moderate percentage of their capacity. Select a moderate
amount of weight 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
weight.
Weight Loss
To lose weight, use a low amount of weight and
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 is:
• Plan weight training workouts on Monday,
Wednesday, and Friday.
• Plan 20 to 30 minutes of aerobic exercise, such as
running on a treadmill or riding on an elliptical or
exercise bike, on Tuesday and Thursday..
• Rest from both weight training and aerobic exercise
for at least one full day each week to give your body
time to regenerate.
The combination of weight training and aerobic exercise will reshape and strengthen your body, plus develop your heart and lungs.
PERSONALIZING YOUR EXERCISE PROGRAM
Determining the exact length of time for each workout,
as well as the number of repetitions or sets completed,
is an individual matter. It is important to avoid overdoing it during the first few months of your exercise program. You should progress at your own pace and be
sensitive to your body’s signals. If you experience pain
or dizziness at any time while exercising, stop immediately and begin cooling 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 session to session.
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 manner 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
muscles affected. Refer to the muscle chart on the
next page 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.
23
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 workout.
• 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
End each workout with 5 to 10 minutes of stretching.
Include stretches for both your arms and legs. Move
slowly as you stretch and do not bounce. Ease into
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 weight used, and
the numbers of sets and repetitions completed. Record
your weight and key body measurements at the end of
every month. Remember, the key to achieving the
greatest results is to make exercise a regular and
enjoyable part of your everyday life.
