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 adequately 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 surface. Cover the floor beneath the weight system 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

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 cooling down.

Cable around the indicated 3 1/2” Pulley (15)
attached to the Top Frame (55). Be sure that
the end of the Cable with the ball is on the

the Cable is in the groove of the Pulley
and that the Long Cable Trap (50) is positioned to hold the Cable in place. Tighten
the M10 x 60mm Bolt (7) and the M10 Nylon
Locknut (not shown).
