ASSEMBLY
Make Things Easier for Yourself
Everything in this manual is designed to ensure
that the weight system can be assembled successfully by anyone. However, it is important to
realise that the versatile weight system has
many parts and that the assembly process will
take time. Most people find that by setting aside
plenty of time, assembly will go smoothly.
Before beginning assembly, carefully read the
following information and instructions:
Assembly requires two people.
•
• Place all parts in a cleared area and remove the
packing materials. Do not dispose of the packing
materials until assembly is completed.
• Tighten all parts as you assemble them, unless
instructed to do otherwise.
• As you assemble the weight system, make sure
all parts are oriented as shown in the drawings.
• For help identifying small parts, use the PART
DENTIFICATION CHAR
I
Assembly requires the included hex key
and the following tools (not included):
• two adjustable spanners
• one rubber mallet
• one standard screwdriver
• one Phillips screwdriver
• lubricant, such as grease or petroleum jelly,
and soapy water.
Assembly will be more convenient if you have a
socket set, a set of open-end or closed-end spanners, or a set of ratchet spanners.

Foam Pads (18) onto the ends of the Pad Tube.
Repeat this step with the other Pad Tube (17)
and the Seat Upright (73).

Frame (9). Attach the tether on the Pins to the
Butterfly Frame with the M4 x 12mm Screw (68).

ADJUSTMENTS, beginning on the next page.
Before using the weight system, pull each cable a few times to make sure that the cables move smoothly
over the pulleys. If one of the cables does not move smoothly, find and correct the problem. IMPORTANT: If
the cables are not properly routed, they may be damaged when heavy weight is used. See the CABLE
DIAGRAM on page 17 of this manual for proper cable routing. If there is any slack in the cables, you
will need to remove it by tightening the cables; see TIGHTENING THE CABLES on page 16.

ADJUSTMENTS
This section explains how to adjust the weight system. See the EXERCISE GUIDELINES on page 18 for important information about how to get the most benefit from your exercise program. Also, refer to the accompanying
exercise guide to see the correct form for each exercise.
ake sure all parts are properly tightened each time the weight system is used. Replace any worn parts immediate-
M
ly. The weight system can be cleaned with a damp cloth and a mild, non-abrasive detergent. Do not use solvents.
ATTACHING THE ACCESSORIES TO A PULLEY
STATION
Attach the Lat Bar (42) to the High Cable (45) with a
Cable Clip (52). For some exercises, the Chain (not
shown) should be attached between the Lat Bar and
the High Cable with two Cable Clips. Adjust the
length of the Chain between the Lat Bar and the
High Cable so that the Lat Bar is in the correct
starting position for the exercise to be performed.

52
The Handle (not shown) can be attached in the same
manner. The accessories can be attached to the Low
Cable (not shown) in the same manner.
CHANGING THE WEIGHT SETTING
To change the weight setting of the weight stack,
insert the Weight Pin (13) under the desired Weight
(7). Make sure to insert the Weight Pin until the bent
end of the Weight Pin is touching the Weights, and
turn the bent end downward. The weight setting of the
weight stack can be changed from 6 pounds to 118.5
pounds, in increments of 12.5 pounds.

TIGHTENING THE CABLES
Woven cable, the type of cable used on the weight
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.
Slack can be removed by moving a 90mm Pulley (not
shown) and pair of Pulley Covers (44) to a set of
holes closer to the centre of the two Pulley Plates
(36). Remove the M10 Nylon Locknut (71) and the
M10 x 53mm Bolt (61) from the Pulley Covers, the
Pulley, and the Pulley Plates. Re-attach the Pulley
and the Pulley Covers to the new set of holes in the
Pulley Plates with the Bolt and Nylon Locknut.

weight. The other numbers refer to the 12.5 lb. weight plates. Weight resistance shown for the butterfly arm station is for each butterfly arm. Note: The actual resistance at each station may vary due to differences in
individual weight plates as well as friction between the cables, pulleys, and weight guides.

EXERCISE GUIDELINES
THE FOUR BASIC TYPES OF WORKOUTS
Muscle Building
To increase the size and strength of your muscles,
push them close to their maximum capacity. Your muscles will continually adapt and grow as you progressively increase the intensity of your exercise. You can
adjust the intensity level of an individual exercise in
two ways:
• by changing the amount of weight used
• by changing the number of repetitions or sets per-
formed. (A “repetition” is one complete cycle of an
exercise, such as one sit-up. A “set” is a series of
repetitions.)
The proper amount of weight for each exercise
depends upon the individual user. You must gauge
your limits and select the amount of weight that is right
for you. Begin with 3 sets of 8 repetitions for each
exercise you perform. Rest for 3 minutes after each
set. When you can complete 3 sets of 12 repetitions
without difficulty, increase the amount of weight.
Toning
You can tone your muscles by pushing them to a moderate percentage of their capacity. Select a moderate
amount of weight and increase the number of repetitions in each set. Complete as many sets of 15 to 20
repetitions as possible without discomfort. Rest for 1
minute after each set. Work your muscles by completing more sets rather than by using high amounts of
weight.
Weight Loss
To lose weight, use a low amount of weight and
increase the number of repetitions in each set.
Exercise for 20 to 30 minutes, resting for a maximum
of 30 seconds between sets.
Cross Training
Cross training is an ef
well-balanced fitness program.
anced program is:
• Plan weight training workouts on Monday,
ednesday, and Friday.
W
Plan 20 to 30 minutes of aerobic exercise, such as
•
cycling or swimming, on Tuesday and Thursday.
Rest from both weight training and aerobic exercise
•
for at least one full day each week to give your body
time to regenerate.
The combination of weight training and aerobic exer
cise will reshape and strengthen your body
op your heart and lungs.

PERSONALIZING YOUR EXERCISE PROGRAM
Determining the exact length of time for each workout,
as well as the number of repetitions or sets completed,
is an individual matter. It is important to avoid overdoing it during the first few months of your exercise program. You should progress at your own pace and be
sensitive to your body’s signals. If you experience pain
or dizziness at any time whilst exercising, stop immediately and begin cooling down. Find out what is wrong
before continuing. Remember that adequate rest and a
proper diet are important factors in any exercise program.
WARMING UP
Begin each workout with 5 to 10 minutes of stretching
and light exercise to warm up. Warming up prepares
your body for more strenuous exercise by increasing
circulation, raising your body temperature and delivering more oxygen to your muscles.
WORKING OUT
Each workout should include 6 to 10 different exercises. Select exercises for every major muscle group,
emphasizing areas that you want to develop most. To
give balance and variety to your workouts, vary the
exercises from session to session.
Schedule your workouts for the time of day when your
energy level is the highest. Each workout should be
followed by at least one day of rest. Once you find the
schedule that is right for you, stick with it.
EXERCISE FORM
Maintaining proper form is an essential part of an
fective exercise program.

• Rest for 30 seconds after each set for a weight loss
workout.
Plan to spend the first couple of weeks familiarizing
yourself with the equipment and learning the proper
form for each exercise.
COOLING DOWN
End each workout with 5 to 10 minutes of stretching.
Include stretches for both your arms and legs. Move
slowly as you stretch and do not bounce. Ease into
each stretch gradually and go only as far as you can
ithout strain. Stretching at the end of each workout
w
is an effective way to increase flexibility.
STAYING MOTIVATED
For motivation, keep a record of each workout. list the
date, the exercises performed, the weight used, and
the numbers of sets and repetitions completed.
Record your weight and key body measurements at
the end of every month. Remember, the key to
achieving the greatest results is to make exercise a
regular and enjoyable part of your everyday life.
