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 and all
arnings on the resistance system before
w
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. Keep the resistance system indoors, away
from moisture and dust. Place the resistance
system on a level surface, with a mat
beneath it to protect the floor or carpet. Make
sure that there is enough clearance around
the resistance system to mount, dismount,
and use the resistance system.
5. Inspect and properly tighten all parts regular-
ly. 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.
12. When adding resistance, both ends of the
esistance bars must rest under the two “U”-
r
channels. Add and remove resistance bars
from the “U”-channels one resistance bar at
a time.
13. Keep clear of the area around the “U”-chan-
nels while the resistance system is in use.
Do not add or remove resistance bars from
the “U”-channels while the end of the long
cable is pulled out.
14. Always adjust the resistance bar assembly to
the horizontal position and make sure the
fulcrum knob is secure before using the
resistance system.
15. Make sure the rings on the resistance bars
are pushed against the tray before using the
resistance system.
16. If you purchase the optional lat bar, always
disconnect it from the short cables when performing an exercise that does not require it.
17. Make sure the storage knob is in place and
fully tightened each time the resistance system is used.
18. Pull on the low pulley cable only while sitting
8. Always wear athletic shoes for foot protec
tion while exercising.
9. The top frame is not designed to be used for
pull-up exercises. Do not hang on the top
frame.

used with the included resistance, and the
MAX PACK. Do not use the resistance system with any other type of resistance.
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.
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. Replace all
cables at least every two years
If you feel pain or dizziness while exercising,

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.
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.

Make sure that all parts have been properly tightened. The use of the remaining parts will be explained in
ADJUSTMENTS, beginning on the following page.
Before using the resistance system, pull the long cable a few times to be sure that it moves smoothly over
the pulleys. If the cable does not move smoothly, find and correct the problem. IMPORTANT: If the cables
are not properly installed, they may be damaged when heavy resistance is used. See the CABLE
DIAGRAM on page 16 for proper cable routing.

ADJUSTMENTS
This section explains how to adjust the resistance system. See the EXERCISE GUIDELINES on page 17 for
important information about how to get the most benefit from your exercise program. Also, refer to the accompa-
ying exercise guide to see the correct form for each exercise.
n
Make sure all parts are properly tightened each time the resistance system is used. Replace worn parts immediately. The resistance system can be cleaned with a damp cloth and a mild, non-abrasive detergent. Do not use
solvents. The resistance bars can be cleaned with a vinyl and rubber protectant, available at an automotive or
department store.

ADJUSTING THE RESISTANCE
To add resistance, hold a “U”-channel on the 10pound Center Resistance Bar (44) firmly and push
the end of a resistance bar under it. Repeat with the
other end of the resistance bar. If more resistance is
needed, add one resistance bar at a time.
Note: When adding resistance, always start with the
heaviest resistance bar to be used, and finish with the
lightest resistance bar. When removing resistance
bars from the “U”-channels, start with the lightest
resistance bar and finish with the heaviest.
WARNING: When adding resist-
ance, make sure that both ends of the resistance bar rest under the two “U”-channels. The

EXERCISE GUIDELINES
THE FOUR BASIC TYPES OF WORKOUTS
Muscle Building
o increase the size and strength of your muscles,
T
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 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 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 T
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.
raining
PERSONALIZING YOUR EXERCISE PROGRAM
Determining the exact length of time for each workout,
s well as the number of repetitions or sets completed,
a
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,
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
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 accompany
ing 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 page
18 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.

Rest for one minute after each set for a toning work-
•
out.
• 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. The
chart on page 19 of this manual can be photocopied
and used to schedule and record your workouts. 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.
