2. It is the responsibility of the owner to ensure
that all users of the weight system are adequately informed of all precautions.
3. The weight system is intended for home use
only. Do not use the weight system in any
commercial, rental, or institutional setting.
4. Use the weight system only on a level surface. Cover the floor beneath the weight system to protect the floor.
5. Make sure all parts are properly tightened
each time you use the weight system.
Replace any worn parts immediately.
6. Keep children under 12 and pets away from
the weight system at all times.
7. Keep hands and feet away from moving parts.
8. Always wear athletic shoes for foot protection.
9. Always stand on a foot plate when performing an exercise that could cause the weight
system to tip.
10. The weight system is designed to support a
maximum user weight of 300 pounds.
11. Always disconnect the lat bar from the

31. 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 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 20 of this manual for proper cable routing. If there is any slack in the cables, you
will need to remove it by tightening the cables; see TROUBLE-SHOOTING AND MAINTENANCE on
page 19.

ADJUSTMENTS
The instructions below describe how each part of the weight system can be adjusted. Refer to the exercise
guide accompanying this manual to see how the weight system should be set up for each exercise. IMPOR-
TANT: 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). Be 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 of the
weight stack can be changed from 6.5 pounds to 81.5
pounds, in increments of 12.5 pounds. Note: Due to
the cables and pulleys, the actual amount of
resistance at each exercise station may vary from
the weight setting. Use the WEIGHT RESISTANCE
CHART on page 18 to find the actual amount of
resistance at each weight station.
ATTACHING THE LAT BAR OR NYLON STRAP TO
THE HIGH OR LOW PULLEY STATION
Attach the Lat Bar (54) to the Long Cable (23) or
Short Cable (58) with a Cable Clip (53). For some
exercises, the Chain (52) 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 the Lat Bar is in the correct
starting position for the exercise to be performed.
Note: The seat frame must be removed from the
front upright before the Short Cable (not shown)
is used. (See ATTACHING AND REMOVING THE
SEAT, below.)
The Nylon Strap (39) (not shown) can be attached in

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 lb. weight plates. Weight resistance shown for the butterfly arm station is for
each butterfly arm.
The actual resistance at each weight station may vary due to differences in individual weight plates, as well as
friction between the cables, pulleys, and weight guides.

TROUBLESHOOTING AND MAINTENANCE
Inspect and tighten all parts each time you use the weight system. 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. Slack can be
removed from the cables by tightening the M8 Nylon
Locknuts (3) at the end of the Long Cable (23) (see
inset drawing A) and at the end of the Short Cable
(58) (see inset drawing B). To do this you may need
to remove the Small “U”-Bracket (67) from the Weight
Tube (63) or remove the 90mm Pulley (15) 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.
Additional slack can be removed by moving the
90mm Pulley (15) to the lower hole in the Long “U”Bracket (57). Remove the M10 Nylon Locknut (21)
and the M10 x 50mm Bolt (12) from the Cable Trap
(66), Pulley, and “U”-Bracket. Re-attach the Pulley
and Cable Trap. Be sure that the Cable Trap is positioned to hold the Cable in place, and that the Cable
and Pulley move smoothly.
Note: 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.

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 labeled. Be sure that
the cable traps do not touch or bind the cables.
