This chart shows the approximate weight resistance at each station. ÒTopÓ refers to the 10 lbs. top
weight. The other numbers refer to the 10 lbs. weight plates. Note: The actual resistance at each weight
station may vary due to differences in individual weight plates, as well as friction between the cables,
pulleys, and weight guides.

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, insert the Weight Pin (39, not
shown) between the third and the fourth Weight, counting
from the top. See ÒChanging the Weight SettingÓ on page
17 for instructions on moving the Weight Pin.
Loosen the 1/2Ó Plain Nut (68) securing the bolt at the
end of the High Cable (73). Tighten the bolt a couple of
turns into the Weight Tube (36) until the Cables feel
tighter. Tighten the Plain Nut to prevent the bolt from turning.
Note: This drawing shows the Shroud removed for clarity.
The Shroud does not have to be removed to tighten the
Cables.
Additional slack can be removed by moving the lower of
the two Pulleys (35) attached to the Pulley Plates (31) to
one of the other adjustment holes in the Pulley Plates. To
do this, remove the 3/8Ó x 1 3/4Ó Bolt (60), Cable Trap
(44) and 3/8Ó Nylon Jamnut (63). Move the Pulley and reattach it with the Bolt, Cable Trap and Locknut. Make
sure the Low Cable (72) is in the groove of the Pulley
and that the Cable Trap is positioned as shown.
Note: If a Cable tends to slip off the Pulleys often, the
Cable may have become twisted. Remove the Cable
and re-install it.
If the Cables need to be replaced, see ORDERING
REPLACEMENT PARTS on page 2 of this manual.

Trouble-shooting and Maintenance
Inspect and tighten all parts each time you use the training system. Replace any worn parts immediately. The
training system can be cleaned using a damp cloth and mild non-abrasive detergent. Do not use solvents.
ADJUSTING THE POSITION OF THE BACKREST
To adjust the position of the Backrest (41), unscrew the
handle of the Adjustment Knob (9) until it is loose. Pull
out the handle as far as it will go and slide the Backrest
Frame (15, not visible) to the desired position. Release
the handle until the Knob snaps into one of the adjustment holes on the Backrest Frame. Then tighten the handle again.
ADJUSTING THE POSITION OF THE PRESS FRAME
HANDLES
To adjust the position of the Handles (20) on the Press
Frame (46), unscrew the handle of an Adjustment Knob
(9) until it is loose. Pull out the handle as far as it will go
and slide the Press Frame Handle to the desired position.
Release the handle until the Knob snaps into one of the
adjustment holes on the Press Frame Handle. Then tighten the handle again.
Note: Both Press Frame Handles (20) should always
be adjusted to the same position.
USING THE LEG LEVER LOCK
Some exercises, such as sit-ups, can be performed more
comfortably with the Leg Lever (29) locked.
To lock the Leg Lever (29) turn the Leg Lever Lock (11)
until it engages the Pad Tube (28) on the Leg Lever.

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 sustained by or through the use of this product.
Important Precautions
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. The training system is intended for home use
only. Do not use the training system in a
commercial, rental, or institutional setting.
4. If you feel pain or dizziness at any time while
exercising, stop immediately and begin cooling down.
5. Use the training system only on a level surface. Cover the floor beneath the training
system to protect the floor or carpet.
6. Inspect and tighten all parts often. Replace
any worn parts immediately.
7. The training system is designed to be used
by only one person at a time.
8. Keep children under the age of 12 and pets
away from the training system at all times.
9. Keep hands and feet away from moving parts.
10. Always wear athletic shoes for foot protection while exercising.
11. Always stand on the foot plate when performing an exercise that could cause the
training system to tip.
12. Make sure the cables remain on the pulleys
at all times. If the cables bind while you are
exercising, stop immediately and make sure
the cables are on all of the pulleys.
13. Never release the press arm, leg lever, lat
bar, row bar, ab strap, or ankle strap while
weights are raised. The weights will fall with
great force.
14. Always disconnect the lat bar or row bar
from the training system when performing an
exercise that does not require them.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of serious injury, read the following important
precautions before using the training system.
The warning decals shown at the right have been pre-attached to the training
system in the locations shown on page 4. Note that decal #1 has been placed
in two locations. If a decal is missing, or if it is not legible, please call our
Customer Service Department at 0345-089009 for a free replacement decal.
Apply the new decal to the training system in the appropriate location.

ATTACHING THE LAT BAR, ROW BAR, ANKLE
STRAP OR AB STRAP TO A PULLEY STATION
The Lat Bar (61), Row Bar (70), Ankle Strap (10) and Ab
Strap (75) can be attached to the Cable at the appropriate pulley station with a Cable Clip (69). For some exercises, the Chain (67) should be attached between the tool
and the Cable with two Cable Clips. Adjust the length of
the Chain between the tool you are using and the
Cable so the tool is in the correct starting position for
the exercise to be performed.
ADJUSTING THE POSITION OF THE SEAT
To adjust the height of the Seat (13), unscrew the handle
of the Adjustment Knob (9) until it is loose. Pull out the
handle as far as it will go and slide the Seat Upright (37)
to the desired position. Release the handle until the Knob
snaps into one of the adjustment holes in the Seat
Upright. Then tighten the handle again.

Adjustment
The instructions below describe how each part of the training system can be adjusted. IMPORTANT: When
attaching the lat bar, row bar, ankle strap or ab strap, make sure that the attachments are in the correct
starting position for the exercise to be performed. If there is any slack in the cables or chain as an exercise is performed, the effectiveness of the exercise will be reduced.

CHANGING THE WEIGHT SETTING
To change the setting of the weight stack, insert a Weight
Pin (39) under the desired Weight (26). Be sure to insert
the Weight Pin until the ball at the end of the Weight Pin
is touching the Weights. The setting of the weight stack
can be changed from 10 pounds to 150 pounds, in increments of 10 pounds. Note: Due to the cables and pul-
leys, the amount of resistance at each exercise station may vary from the weight setting. Use the
WEIGHT RESISTANCE CHART on the back cover of
this manual to find the approximate amount of resistance at each weight station.

Cable Diagram
The cable diagram below shows the proper routing of the High Cable (73) and the Low Cable (72). The numbers
show the correct route for each Cable. Make sure that the Cables are routed correctly, that the pulleys
move smoothly and that the cable traps do not touch or bind the Cables. Incorrect cable routing can
damage the training system.
