IMPORTANT PRECAUTIONS

WARNING: To reduce the risk of serious injury, read the following important precautions

before using the resistance system.

1. Read all instructions in this manual before
using the resistance system. Use the resist­ance system only as described in this manual.

2. It is the responsibility of the owner to ensure
that all users of the resistance system are
adequately informed of all precautions.

3. The resistance system is intended for home
use only. Do not use the resistance system in
any commercial, rental, or institutional setting.

4. Use the resistance system only on a level
surface. Cover the floor beneath the resist­ance system to protect the floor.

5. Make sure that all parts are properly tight­ened each time you use the resistance sys­tem. Replace any worn parts immediately.

6. Keep children under 12 and pets away from
the resistance system at all times.

7. Keep hands and feet away from moving parts.

8. Always wear athletic shoes for foot protec­tion while exercising.

9. The lat tower crossbar is not designed to be
used for pull-up exercises. Do not hang on
the crossbar.

10. The resistance system is designed to sup­port a maximum user weight of 300 pounds.

11. Pull on the low pulley cable only while sitting
on the bench or standing on the base plate.
Pull on the high pulley cables only while sit­ting on the bench, with the seat in one of the
three positions closest to the upright base,
or while standing on the base plate.

12. The resistance system is designed to be
used with the included resistance, and the
resistance included with a CrossBow by WEI-

™

Power Pak. Do not use the resistance

DER
system with any other type of resistance.

13. When adding resistance, both ends of the
crossbows must rest under the two “U”­channels. Add and remove crossbows from
the “U”-channels one crossbow at a time.

14. Keep clear of the area around the “U”-chan­nels while the resistance system is in use.
Do not add or remove crossbows from the
“U”-channels while the end of the long cable
is pulled out.

15. Always adjust the crossbow assembly to the
horizontal position and make sure the ful­crum knob is secure before using the resist­ance system.

16. Make sure the rings on the crossbows are
pushed against the crossbow spacer before
using the resistance system.

17. If you purchase the optional lat bar, always
disconnect it from the short cables when per­forming an exercise that does not require it.

18. Make sure the storage knob is in place and
fully tightened each time you use the resist­ance system.

19. Make sure that the cables remain on the pul­leys at all times. If the cables bind as you are
exercising, stop immediately and make sure
that the cables are on the pulleys.

20. If you feel pain or dizziness while exercising,
stop immediately and begin cooling down.

WARNING: Before beginning this or any exercise program, consult your physician. This

is especially important for persons over the age of 35 or persons with pre-existing health problems.

ASSEMBLY

Make Things Easier for Yourself

This manual is designed to ensure that the resist­ance system can be assembled successfully by
most people. However, it is important to realize
that the versatile resistance 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.

Tighten all parts as you assemble them, unless

•

instructed to do otherwise.

• As you assemble the resistance system, make

ure all parts are oriented as shown in the draw-

s
ings.

The included Allen wrenches and the follow­ing tools (not included) are required for assem­bly:

Before beginning assembly, carefully read the
following information and instructions:

• Assembly requires two persons.

• Place all parts in a cleared area and remove the

packing materials. Do not dispose of the packing
materials until assembly is completed.

• For help identifying small parts, use the PART
IDENTIFICATION CHART. Note: Some small

parts may have been pre-attached for shipping. If
a part is not in the parts bag, check to see if it
has been pre-attached.

1.

Before beginning assembly, make sure that
you have read and understand the informa­tion in the box above.
