ASSEMBLY
Make Things Easier for Yourself
Everything in this manual is designed to ensure
that the exercise rack can be assembled successfully by anyone. However, it is important to
realize that the versatile exercise rack has many
parts and that the assembly process will take
time. 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.
1. Attach two Base Pads (23) to the Base (1) with
two M4 x 25mm Screws (48).
Insert two M10 x 90mm Button Bolts (42) up
through the Base (1). It may be helpful to place
tape over the bolt heads to hold them in place.
• Tighten all parts as you assemble them, unless
instructed to do otherwise.
• As you assemble the exercise rack, make sure all
parts are oriented as shown in the drawings.
• For help identifying small parts, use the PART
IDENTIFICATION CHART.
The following tools (not included) are required
for assembly:
• Two adjustable wrenches
• One rubber mallet
• One Phillips screwdriver
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.

ADJUSTMENTS
This section explains how to adjust the exercise rack. See the EXERCISE GUIDELINES on page 15 for important information about how to get the most benefit from your exercise program. Also, refer to the accompanying
exercise guide to see the correct form for each exercise.
ake sure all parts are properly tightened each time the exercise rack is used. Replace any worn parts immediate-
M
ly. The exercise rack can be cleaned with a damp cloth and a mild, non-abrasive detergent. Do not use solvents.
ADJUSTING THE DIP ARM
To perform some exercises, the Dip Arm (10) should
be locked in the up position. Remove the indicated
Adjustment Pin (29) and lift the Dip Handle (13).
Engage the Adjustment Pin into the Front Top Frame
(4) and the hole in the Dip Arm plate (not shown).
To use the Dip Arm (10), remove the Adjustment Pin
(29) and lower the Dip Handle (13). Insert the
Adjustment Pin into the Front Top Frame (4).

ADJUSTING THE PIVOT ANGLE OF THE KNEE
PAD
To change the pivot angle of the Knee Pad (15), first
make sure that there are at least two resistance
bands assembled on the Assist Arm (9) (see USING
THE RESISTANCE BANDS on page 14). Next, hold
the Assist Arm in the indicated location and remove
the indicated Adjustment Pin (29). Then, align the
hole in the Assist Arm with the desired hole in the
Rear Upright (5). Finally, reengage the Adjustment
Pin into the Rear Upright (5) and the Assist Arm.

ADJUSTING THE KNEE PAD
To adjust the Knee Pad (15) to the horizontal position,
lift on the Knee Pad so that the rod on the Assist Arm
(9) is in the notch in the Pad Frame (11). Then lower
the Knee Pad so that the 5mm Spacers (38) are in
the top of the “L”-slot in the Pad Frame.
To move the Knee Pad (15) out of the way, lift on the
Knee Pad and slide the Pad Frame (11) forward, disengaging the rod on the Assist Arm (9). Lower the
Knee Pad.
USING THE RESISTANCE BANDS
To add resistance to the Assist Arm (9), slide a
Resistance Band (33 or 32) onto the tubes on the
Assist Arm and the Backrest Support (8).

EXERCISE GUIDELINES
THE FOUR BASIC TYPES OF WORKOUTS
Muscle Building
o increase the size and strength of your muscles,
T
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 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
To lose weight, use a low amount of resistance 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 T
Cross training is an ef
well-balanced fitness program. An example of a balanced program follows:
Plan strength training workouts on Monday,
•
W
• Plan 20 to 30 minutes of aerobic exercise, such as
running on a treadmill or riding on an exercise cycle
or an elliptical exerciser
• 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 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,
s well as the number of repetitions or sets completed,
a
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. W
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.

• 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
ithout strain. Stretching at the end of each workout
w
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. Remember, the key to achieving the greatest results is to make exercise a regular
and enjoyable part of your everyday life.
