Important Precautions

Warning Decal Placement

1. It is the responsibility of the owner to ensure
that all users of the weight system are ade­quately informed of all precautions.

2. Read all instructions in this manual and in
the accompanying literature before using the
weight system.

3. If you feel pain or dizziness at any time while
exercising, stop immediately and begin cool­ing down.

4. Use the weight system only on a level sur­face. Cover the floor or carpet beneath the
weight system for protection.

5. Inspect and tighten all parts often. Replace
any worn parts immediately.

6. Make sure the cables remain on the pulleys
at all times. If the cables bind while you are
exercising, stop immediately and make sure
the cables are on all of the pulleys.

7. Keep children under the age of 12 and pets
away from the weight system at all times.

8. Keep hands and feet away from moving parts.

9. The weight system is designed to be used by
only one person at a time.

10. Always wear athletic shoes for foot protec­tion when exercising.

11. Never release the press arms/butterfly arms,
leg lever or lat bar while weights are raised.
The weights will fall with great force.

12. Always disconnect the lat bar from the
weight system when performing an exercise
that does not use the lat bar.

13. The weight system is intended for home use
only. Do not use the weight system in a com­mercial, rental or institutional setting.

To reduce the risk of serious injury, read the following important
precautions before using the weight system.

Identifying Parts

To help you identify the small parts used in assem­bly, we have included a PART IDENTIFICATION
CHART in the centre of this manual. Place the chart
on the floor or work table and use it to quickly identi­fy different parts as you open the packages for each
step.
Note: Some small parts may have been pre-attached
for shipping. If a part is not in the parts bag, check to
see if it has been pre-attached.

Orienting Parts

As you assemble this product, be sure that all parts
are oriented as shown in the drawings.

Tightening of Parts

Tighten all parts as you assemble them, unless
instructed to do otherwise.

Lining Up the Tools

Assembly requires the following tools (not included):

• Two (2) adjustable wrenches

• One (1) standard screwdriver

• One (1) phillips screwdriver

• One (1) rubber mallet

• 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 wrenches
or a set of ratchet wrenches.

Giving Yourself a Good Start

Before you begin the assembly process, take the
time to complete the steps outlined here.

Clearing the Workspace

Clear a workspace that is large enough to hold all
parts and allow you to walk all the way around the
assembled equipment.

Unpacking the Box

To make the assembly process as smooth as possi­ble, we have broken it into separate stages. All parts
used in each stage are found in individual packages
in the shipping box. Place all parts in a cleared area
and remove the packing materials. Do not dispose of
the packing materials until assembly is completed.

Important: Wait until you begin each assembly
stage to open the parts bag labeled for that
assembly stage.

Assembly

Making Things Easier for Yourself

Everything in this manual is designed to ensure
that the assembly of our products can be complet­ed successfully by anyone. However, it is impor­tant to recognize that your new equipment is a
sophisticated product with many small parts. The
assembly process will take time—possibly several
hours. Most people find that by setting aside plen­ty of time, and by deciding to make the task
enjoyable, assembly will go smoothly. You may
want to complete the process over a couple of
evenings.

The Three Stages of the Assembly Process

Frame Assembly

You will begin by assembling the base and the
upright frames that serve as the skeleton of the
equipment. The seat and all moving parts will be
attached to the frame.

Arm Assembly

Completes the press/butterfly arms that you oper­ate while you are exercising.

Cable/Seat Assembly

Completes the cables and pulleys that connect the
moving arms with each other and with the weights.
This ties the different parts together and makes the
equipment function as a unit. Also installs the seat
and backrest that support your body while you are
exercising.
