ASSEMBLY
Make Assembly Easier
Everything in this manual is designed to ensure
hat the weight system can be assembled suc-
t
cessfully by almost anyone. By setting aside
plenty of time, assembly will go smoothly.
Before beginning assembly, carefully read the
following information and instructions:
• Assembly requires two persons.
• Because of its weight and size, the weight system should be assembled in the location where it
will be used. Make sure that there is enough
clearance to walk around the weight system as
you assemble it.
• To make assembly as easy as possible, we have
divided the assembly process into four stages.
The parts needed for each stage are found in
individual hardware kits.
• For help identifying small parts, use the PART
IDENTIFICATION CHART on page 5.
• As you assemble the weight system, make sure
all parts are oriented as shown in the drawings.
• Tighten all parts as you assemble them, unless
instructed to do otherwise.
• Assembly requires the included hex key and the
following tools (not included):
Two adjustable wrenches
One rubber mallet
One standard screwdriver
One Phillips screwdriver
Assembly will be more convenient if you have a
socket set, a set of open-end or closed-end
wrenches, or a set of ratchet wrenches.
• Place all parts in a cleared area and remove the
packing materials. Do not dispose of the packing
materials until assembly is completed.
The Four Stages of the Assembly Process
Frame Assembly—You will begin by assembling
the base and the uprights that form the skeleton of
the weight system.
Arm Assembly—During this stage you will
assemble the arms and the leg lever.
Cable Assembly—During this stage you will
attach the cables and pulleys that connect the
arms to the weights.
Seat Assembly—During the final stage you will
assemble the seat and the backrest.

ADJUSTMENT, beginning on page 18.
Before using the weight system, pull each cable a few times to make sure that the cables move smoothly
around the pulleys. If one of the cables does not move smoothly, find and correct the problem. IMPORTANT:
If the cables are not properly installed, they may be damaged when heavy weight is used. See the
CABLE DIAGRAM on page 21 for proper cable routing. If there is any slack in the cables, you will
need to remove the slack by tightening the cables. See MAINTENANCE on page 22.

T
tant 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.
CHANGING THE WEIGHT SETTING
To change the setting of the weight stack, insert the
Weight Pin (26) under the desired Weight (22). Insert
the Weight Pin so that the bent end touches the
weight stack. Turn the bent end down. Note: Do not
use the Top Weight (25) by itself.
Note: Due to the cables and pulleys, the amount
of resistance at each exercise station may vary
from the weight setting. Use the WEIGHT
RESISTANCE CHART on page 20 to find the
approximate amount of resistance for each weight
station.

exercises, the Chain (83) should be attached between
the Lat Bar and the Cable with two Cable Clips. Adjust
the length of the Chain between the Lat Bar and
the Cable so that the Lat Bar is in the correct starting position for the exercise to be performed.
The Lat Bar (35) or the Handle Strap (not shown) can
be attached at either pulley station in the same manner. Always engage the Lock Plate (not shown) before
using the low pulley station (see USING THE LOCK

CABLE DIAGRAM
The diagram below shows the proper routing of the cables. The numbers in each drawing show the proper route
f that cable. Use the diagram to make sure that the cables, cable traps, and guards are assembled correctly. If
o
the cables are not assembled correctly, the weight system will not function properly and damage may occur.
Make sure that the cable traps do not touch or bind the cables.

MAINTENANCE
Make sure that all parts are properly tightened each time the weight system is used. Replace any worn parts
immediately. The weight system can be cleaned with a damp cloth and a mild, non-abrasive detergent. Do not
use solvents.
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. To tighten the cables, first insert the
weight pin into the middle of the weight stack. Slack can be removed from these cables several ways:
See the inset drawing. Tighten the M8 Locknut (58)
that connects the end of the Low Cable (53) to the Ubracket (45).
48
Remove the M10 Locknut (56) and the M10 x 51mm
Bolt (66) from the Cable Trap (51), the 90mm Pulley
(48), the two Half Guards (43), and the U-bracket
(45). Reattach the Pulley, Cable Trap, and Half
Guards to the other hole in the U-bracket. Make sure
that the Cable Trap is in the proper position and
that the Low Cable (53) and Pulley move smoothly.
Loosen the M12 Nut (84) on the High Cable (55).
Tighten the Cable into the Weight Selector (24) until
the slack is removed from the Cable. Then, retighten
the M12 Nut against the Large Washer (85).

Do not overtighten the cables. If the cables are overtightened, the top weight will be lifted off the weight
stack. If a cable tends to slip off the pulleys often, it may have become twisted. Remove the cable and
reinstall it. If the cables need to be replaced, see ORDERING REPLACEMENT PARTS on the back cover of
this manual.

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 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.
The combination of strength training and aerobic exer-
ise will reshape and strengthen your body, plus devel-
c
op your heart and lungs.
PERSONALIZING YOUR EXERCISE PROGRAM
Determining the appropriate length of time for each
workout, and the numbers of repetitions and sets to
complete, is an individual matter. Avoid overdoing it
during the first few months of your exercise program.
Progress at your own pace and be sensitive to your
bodyʼs signals. If you experience pain or dizziness
while exercising, stop immediately and cool 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 workout to workout.
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 follows:
• 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 exerciser or exercise cycle, 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.
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 way 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. See 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 stroke of
each repetition should last about half as long as the
eturn stroke. Proper breathing is important. Exhale
r
during the exertion stroke of each repetition and
nhale during the return stroke. Never hold your
i
breath.
Rest for a short period of time after each set. The
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 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.
nclude stretches for both your arms and legs. Move
I
slowly as you stretch and do not bounce. Ease into
ach stretch gradually and go only as far as you can
e
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. Write
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. The key to achieving
the greatest results is to make exercise a regular and
enjoyable part of your everyday life.
