WARNING: To reduce the risk of serious injury, read the following important precautions
before using the home gym system.
1. Read all instructions in this manual and in
the accompanying literature before using the
home gym system.
2. Use the home gym system only on a level
surface. Cover the floor beneath the home
gym system to protect the floor or carpet.
3. Inspect and properly tighten all parts often.
Replace any worn parts immediately.
4. Keep small children and pets away from the
home gym system at all times.
5. Always wear athletic shoes for foot protection.
6. Keep hands and feet away from moving
parts. Keep hands away from the squat arm
upright when the squat arm is being used.
Your hand could become pinched between
the squat arm upright and the squat arm.
7. Always stand on a foot plate when performing an exercise that could cause the home
gym system to tip.
8. Never release the press arm, butterfly arms,
squat arm, leg lever, lat bar or nylon strap
while weights are raised. The weights will fall
with great force.
9. Do not use the VKR station when either
weight stack is in use.
10. Make sure that the cables remain on the pulleys at all times. If the cables bind while you
are exercising, stop immediately and make
sure that the cables are on all of the pulleys.
Always disconnect the lat bar from the home
11.
gym system when performing an exercise
that does not use the lat bar.
12. If you feel pain or dizziness at any time while
exercising, stop immediately and begin cooling down.
13. It is the responsibility of the owner to ensure
that all users of this home gym system are
adequately informed of all warnings and precautions.
WARNING: Before beginning this or any exercise program, consult your physician. This

HOW TO USE THE HOME GYM SYSTEM
The instructions below describe how each part of the home gym system can be adjusted. Refer to the exercise
poster accompanying this manual to see how the home gym system should be set up for each exercise.
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
The WEIDER 8530 features two weight stacks. The
front weight stack is connected to the upper and
lower pulleys, the press arm, and the butterfly arms.
The rear weight stack is connected to the squat arm.
To change the weight setting of either weight stack,
insert a Weight Pin (26) under the desired Weight
(25). 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 either weight
stack can be changed from 6.5 pounds to 106.5
pounds, in increments of 12.5 pounds.
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 approximate
amount of resistance at each weight station.

ATTACHING THE LAT BAR OR NYLON STRAP TO
THE HIGH PULLEY STATION
Attach the Lat Bar (54) to the Medium Cable (58) with
a Cable Clip (53). For some exercises, the Chain (52)
should be attached between the Lat Bar and the
Medium Cable with two Cable Clips. Adjust the
length of the Chain between the Lat Bar and the
Medium Cable so the Lat Bar is in the correct
starting position for the exercise to be performed.
The Nylon Strap (39) can be attached in the same
manner.

ATION
THE LOW PULLEY
Attach the Lat Bar (54) to the Short Cable (23) 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 Chain to the Eyebolt (35) with a Cable Clip.
WEIGHT RESISTANCE CHART
This chart shows the approximate weight resistance at each station. “Top” refers to the 6.5 lb. top weight. The

TROUBLESHOOTING AND MAINTENANCE
Inspect and tighten all parts each time you use the home gym system. Replace any worn parts immediately. The
home gym 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 home gym 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.
Tightening the Medium and Short Cables
If any slack is felt when using the front weight stack, both
the Medium Cable (58) and the Short Cable (23) will need
to be tightened. Insert the weight pin into the middle of
the weight stack. Slack can be removed from these
cables three ways:
See drawing 1. Tighten the 1/4” Nylon Locknut (2) that
connects the end of the Short Cable (23) to the Long “U”Bracket (57).
See drawing 1. Move the 3 1/2” Pulley (15) 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 Cable
Trap (66), Pulley, and Long “U”-Bracket. Re-attach the
Pulley and Cable Trap. Be sure that the Cable Trap is in
the proper position and that the Cable and Pulley move
smoothly.
See drawing 2. Tighten the 1/4” Nylon Locknut (2) that
connects the end of the Medium Cable (58) to the Small
“U”-Bracket (71).

If any slack is felt when using the rear weight stack, the
Long Cable (72) will need to be tightened. Insert
weight pin into the middle of the weight stack. Slack can be
removed from these cables two ways:
See drawing 2. Tighten the 1/4” Nylon Locknut (2) that
connects the end of the Long Cable (72) to the Small “U”Bracket (71).
See drawing 3. Move the “V”-Pulley (50) to another hole
in the Squat Arm Upright (56). Remove the 3/8” Nylon
Locknut (21) and the 3/8” x 5” Bolt (not shown) from the
Long Cable Trap (not shown), and Pulley. Re-attach the
Pulley and Cable Trap. Be sure that the Cable trap is in
the proper position and that the Cable and Pulley move
smoothly.
Do not overtighten the cables, or the top weight will be lifted off the weight stack. 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 Long Cable (72), the Medium Cable (58), and the
Short Cable (23). Use the diagram to be sure that the three cables and cable traps have been assembled correctly. If the cables have not been correctly routed, the home gym system will not function properly and damage
may occur. The insets show the proper positioning of the cable traps. The cable traps should be positioned so
that the cables will not come of
f the pulleys.
Be sure that the cable traps do not touch or bind the cables.
