28. Make sure that all parts have been properly tightened. The use of the remaining parts will be explained in
HOW TO USE THE WEIGHT SYSTEM, beginning on page 17.
Before using the weight system, pull each cable a few times to be 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 installed, they may be damaged when heavy weight is used. See the CABLE
DIAGRAM on page 22 for proper cable routing. If there is any slack in the cables, the cables should
be tightened. See TROUBLESHOOTING AND MAINTENANCE.

HOW TO USE THE WEIGHT SYSTEM
The instructions below describe how each part of the weight system can be adjusted. IMPORTANT: When
attaching the lat bar or nylon strap, make sure that the attachments are in the correct starting position
for the exercise to be performed. If there is any slack in the cables or chain as an exercise is performed,
the effectiveness of the exercise will be reduced.

CHANGING THE WEIGHT SETTING
To change the weight setting of the weight stack,
insert the Weight Pin (26) under the desired Weight
(25). 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 6.5 lbs. to 81.5 lbs., in increments of
12.5 lbs. 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 at each weight
station.
Note: 1 kg = 2.2 lbs
ATTACHING THE LAT BAR OR NYLON STRAP TO
THE HIGH PULLEY STATION
Attach the Lat Bar (54) to the Long Cable (23) with a
Cable Clip (53). For some exercises, the Chain (52)
should be attached between the Lat Bar and the Long
Cable with two Cable Clips. Adjust the length of the
Chain between the Lat Bar and the Long Cable so
the Lat Bar is in the correct starting position for
the exercise to be performed.
The Nylon Strap (not shown) can be attached in the
same manner.
ATTACHING THE LAT BAR OR NYLON STRAP TO
THE LOW PULLEY STATION
Attach the Lat Bar (54) to the Short Cable (58) with a
Cable Clip (53). For some exercises, the Chain (52)
should be attached between the Lat Bar and the
Short Cable with two Cable Clips. Adjust the length
of the Chain between the Lat Bar and the Short
Cable so the Lat Bar is in the correct starting
position for the exercise to be performed.
The Nylon Strap (not shown) can be attached in the
same manner.

ATTACHING AND REMOVING THE SEAT
Set the bracket on the Seat Frame (36) onto the indicated pins on the Front Upright (42). Attach the Seat
Frame to the Front Upright with the 5/16” x 2 3/4”
Carriage Bolt (14) and the Seat Knob (40).
For some exercises, the Seat (13) must be removed.
First, be sure that the chain is not attached to the leg
lever. Next, remove the Seat Knob (40) and the 5/16”
x 2 3/4” Carriage Bolt (14) from the Seat Frame (36).
Lift the Seat Frame off the Front Upright (42).
ATTACHING THE LEG LEVER TO THE LOW
PULLEY STATION
To use the Leg Lever (29), the seat must be attached
to the front upright (see ATTACHING AND REMOVING THE SEAT above).
Attach one end of the Chain (52) to the Short Cable
(58) with a Cable Clip (53). Attach the other end of
the Chain to the 5/16” x 2” Eyebolt (35) with a Cable
Clip.
CHANGING THE STEPPING RESISTANCE
To change the stepping resistance, first lift the Right
and Left Pedals (78, 79) off the hooks at the lower
ends of the Resistance Cylinders (80). Move the
hooks to different slots under the Pedals. Make sure
that the hooks are fully inserted into the same
slots on both Pedals. The farther the hooks are
moved from the Rear Upright (56), the greater the
resistance will be. WARNING: The Resistance
Cylinders become very hot during use. Allow the
Resistance Cylinders to cool before touching
them.

WEIGHT RESISTANCE CHART
This chart shows the approximate weight resistance at each station. “Top” refers to the 6.5-lb. top weight. The
other numbers refer to the 12.5 lbs. weight plates. Weight resistance shown for the butterfly arm station is for
each butterfly arm. Note: The actual resistance at each weight station may vary due to differences in indi-
vidual weight plates, as well as friction between the cables, pulleys, and weight guides.
Note: 2.2 lbs. = 1 kg

TROUBLESHOOTING AND MAINTENANCE
Inspect and tighten all parts often and replace any worn parts immediately. The weight system can be cleaned
using a damp cloth and 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. IMPORTANT: The
Weight Pin (26) must be inserted under the middle
Weight (25) before the cables can be tightened.
Slack can be removed from the cables three different
ways:
• See drawing 1. Tighten the 1/4” Nylon Locknut (2)
at the end of the Long Cable (23). To do this you
may need to remove the Small “U” -Bracket (67)
from the Weight Tube (63). Make sure that the
cables are not too tight, or the Top Weight (76)
will be lifted off the weight stack.
• See drawing 2. Tighten the 1/4” Nylon Locknut (2)
at the end of the Short Cable (58). To do this you
may need to remove the 3 1/2” Pulley (15) and
the Pulley Covers (89) from the Long “U”-Bracket
(57). Make sure that the cables are not too tight,
or the Top Weight (76) will be lifted off the weight
stack.
• See drawing 2. Move the 3 1/2” Pulley (15) and
the Pulley Covers (89) to the other hole in the
Long “U”-Bracket (57). Remove the 3/8” Nylon
Locknut (21) and the 3/8” x 2” Bolt (12) from the
Pulley, and the Long “U”-Bracket. Re-attach the
Pulley and Pulley Covers. Be sure that the Cable
and Pulley move smoothly.
Note: Inspect all cables before each use. If a cable tends to slip off the pulleys often, the cable may have
become twisted. Remove the cable and re-install it.
If the cables need to be replaced, see ORDERING REPLACEMENT PARTS on the back cover of this manual.
Replace all cables every two years.

CABLE DIAGRAM
The cable diagram below shows the proper routing of the Short Cable (58) and the Long Cable (23). Use the
diagram to be sure that the two cables and the cable traps have been assembled correctly. If the cables have
not been correctly routed, the weight system will not function properly and damage may occur. The numbers
show the correct route for each cable. The starting and ending points of each cable are labelled. Be sure that
the cable traps do not touch or bind the cables.
