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
IDENTIFICATION CHART in the centre of the
manual.
The following tools (not included) are required
for assembly:
• 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.

For row exercises, the seat must be able to roll freely
(see ADJUSTING THE SEAT on page 14), the leg
press strap must be attached (see ATTACHING THE
ACCESSORIES, above), and the Backrest (14) must
be removed. To remove the Backrest, hold it vertically
over the Seat (13) and lift the rod out of the slot in the
Seat Carriage (12) (see the inset drawing).
STORING THE WEIGHT SYSTEM
To store the weight system, slide the ends of the
Bench Cable (32) onto the eyebolt on the bottom of the
Bench Frame (5). Then remove the backrest (see
ADJUSTING THE BACKREST above). Make sure the
Seat Pin (not shown) is fully engaged into the Seat
Carriage (12) and the Bench Frame. Next, remove the
Knob (30) from the Upright (3). Lift the Front Leg (6)
toward the Crossbar (not shown), and tighten the Knob
into the side of the Upright and the Bench Frame.
WARNING: Be careful not to
pinch your fingers when raising the front Leg
(6). Make sure the storage Knob (30) is in place
and fully tightened each time the weight system is used.

CHANGING THE WEIGHT SETTING
To change the weight setting, insert the Weight Pin
(36) under one of the Weights (35). 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 can be changed from
2,7 kg (6 lbs) to 53,7 kg (118,5 lbs), in increments of
5,6 kg (12,5 lbs.).

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 resistance used
• by changing the number of repetitions or sets performed. (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 resistance for each exercise
depends upon the individual user. You must gauge
your limits and select the amount of resistance 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 resistance.
TONING
You can tone your muscles by pushing them to a moderate percentage of their capacity. Select a moderate
amount of resistance 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
resistance.
WEIGHT LOSS
To lose weight, use a low amount of resistance 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 efficient way to get a complete and
well-balanced fitness program. An example of a balanced program is:
• Plan strength training workouts on Monday,
Wednesday, and Friday.
• Plan 20 to 30 minutes of aerobic exercise, such as
running on a treadmill or riding on an elliptical or
exercise bike, on Tuesday and Thursday.
• Rest from both strength training and aerobic exercise
for at least one full day each week to give your body
time to regenerate.
The combination of strength training and aerobic exercise will reshape and strengthen your body, plus develop your heart and lungs.
PERSONALISING 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 while 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,
emphasising 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
effective exercise program. This requires moving
through the full range of motion for each exercise, and
moving only the appropriate parts of the body.
Exercising in an uncontrolled manner will leave you
feeling exhausted. On the exercise guide accompanying this manual you will find photographs showing the
correct form for several exercises, and a list of the
muscles affected. Refer to the muscle chart on the
next page to find the names of the muscles.
The repetitions in each set should be performed
smoothly and without pausing. The exertion stage of
each repetition should last about half as long as the
return stage. Proper breathing is important. Exhale
during the exertion stage of each repetition and inhale
during the return stroke. Never hold your breath.

ideal resting periods are:
• Rest for three minutes after each set for a muscle
building workout.
• Rest for one minute after each set for a toning workout.
• Rest for 30 seconds after each set for a weight loss
workout.
Plan to spend the first couple of weeks familiarising
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
without strain. Stretching at the end of each workout
is an effective way to increase flexibility.
STAYING MOTIVATED
For motivation, keep a record of each workout. List the
date, the exercises performed, the resistance 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.
