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 and in
the accompanying literature before using the
weight system.

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 you use the weight system.

Replace any worn parts immediately.

6; Keep children under 12 and pets away from

the weight system at all times.

7. Keep hands and feet away from moving parts.

8; Always wear athletic shoes for foot protection.

9. The weight system is designed to support a
a maximum user weight of 250 pounds.

10. Always stand on the foot plate when per-

forming an exercise that could cause the
weight system to tip.

11. Never release the press arm, butterfly arms,
leg lever, press plate, lat bar, ab strap, or
nylon strap while weights are raised; the
weights will fall with great force.

12. Always disconnect the lat bar from the

weight system when performing an exercise
that does not use the lat bar.

13. Make sure that the cables remain on the pul-
leys at all times. If the cables bind while you
are exercising, stop immediatelY and make

sure that the cables are on all of the pulleys.

14. If you feel pain or dizziness at any time while
exercising, stop immediately and begin cool-
ing down.

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

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.

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 require 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
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 untilassembly is completed.

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 draw-

ings.

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 toll-free HELPLINE at
1-800-736-6879, Monday through Saturday, 7 a.m.

until 7 p.m. Central Time (excluding holidays).

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.
