IMPORTANT PRECAUTIONS
_WARNING: To reduce the risk of serious injury, read the following important precautions
before using the weight system.
1. Read all instructions in this manual before
using the weight system. Use the weight sys-
tem only as described in this manual.
2. It is the responsibility of the owner to ensure
that all users of the weight system are ade-
quately informed of all precautions.
3. The weight system is intended for home use
only. Do not use the weight system in any
commercial, rental, or institutional setting.
4. Use the weight system only on a level sur-
face. Cover the floor beneath the weight sys-
tem to protect the floor.
5. Make sure all parts are properly tightened
each time the weight system is used.
Replace any worn parts immediately.
6. Keep children under 12 and pets away from
the weight system at all times.
10. Make sure that the cables remain on the pul-
leys at all times. If the cables bind as you are
exercising, stop immediately and make sure
that the cables are on the pulleys. Replace all
cables at least every two years.
11.
Always secure the weight stack with the lock
pin and lock after exercising to prevent
unauthorized use of the weight system (see
LOCKING THE WEIGHT STACK on page 25).
12. Always stand on the foot plate when per-
forming an exercise that could cause the
weight system to tip.
13. Never release the arms, leg lever, lat bar, leg
press, ab strap, or handle while weights are
raised. The weights will fall with great force.
14. Always disconnect the lat bar from the
weight system when performing an exercise
that does not use the let bar.
15.
7. The weight system is designed to support a
maximum user weight of 300 pounds.
8. Always wear athletic shoes for foot protec-
tion while exercising.
9. Keep hands and feet away from moving parts.

ASSEMBLY
Make Assembly Easier for Yourself
Everything in this manual is designed to
ensure that the weight system can be assem-
bled successfully by anyone. Before begin-
ning assembly, make sure to read the
information on this page. This brief intro-
duction will save you much more time than
it takes to read it.
Assembly Requires Two Persons
For your convenienceand safety, assemble the
weight system withthe help of another person,
Make sure you have the following tools:
• Two adjustable wrenches
• One standard screwdriver
• One phillipsscrewdriver
• One rubbermallet
• You will also need grease or petroleumjelly,a
small amount of soapy water, and clear tape or
maskingtape.
Note: Assembly will be more convenientifyou have
a socket set, a set of open-end or closed-end
wrenches, or a set of ratchet wrenches.
Set Aside Enough Time
Due to the many features ofthe weightsystem,the
assembly processwillrequire several 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
shouldbe assembled in the locationwhere itwillbe
used. Make sure that there is enoughroomto walk
aroundthe weightsystem as you assemble it.
How to Unpack the Box
To make assembly as easy as possible, we have
divided the assembly processintofourstages.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 packingmaterialsuntilassemblyis completed.
How to Identify Parts
To helpyou identifythe 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 all
parts are oriented exactly as shown in the drawings.
Tightening Parts
_ghten all parts as you assemble them, unless
instructedto do otherwise.
