BEFORE YOU BEGIN
Thank you for selecting the versatile WEIDER®15CT
weight system. The WEIDER
®
15CT offers a selection
of weight stations designed to develop every major
muscle group of the body. Whether your goal is to tone
your body, build dramatic muscle size and strength, or
improve your cardiovascular system, the WEIDER
®
15CT will help you to achieve the specific results you

For your benefit, read this manual carefully before
using the weight system. If you have additional ques-
tions, please call our Customer Service Department
toll-free at 1-800-999-3756, Monday through Friday, 6
a.m. until 6 p.m. Mountain Time (excluding holidays).
To help us assist you, please note the product model
number and serial number before calling. The model
number is WESY17010. The serial number can be
found on a decal attached to the weight system (see
the front cover of this manual).
Before reading further, please review the drawing below
and familiarize yourself with the parts that are labeled.
5
Make sure you have the following tools:
• Two adjustable wrenches
• One standard screwdriver
• One phillips screwdriver
• One 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 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 1-800-999-3756.
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 time. 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 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 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 anyone. Before begin-
ning 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 Four 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.
Arm Assembly—During this stage you will
assemble the arms and the leg lever.
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.

that the end of the Cable with the ball is on
the indicated side of the Pulley and that the
Cable is between the Pulley and the hook on
the Top Frame.
