MISC

48. Remove the backing from the PRO 9730 decal and apply it to the home gym system as shown.

49. Make sure that all parts have been properly tightened. The use of the remaining parts will be explained in ADJUSTMENT, beginning on page 22 of this manual.

Before using the home gym 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 DIAGRAMS on page 26 and 27 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 25.

ADJUSTMENT

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

To change the weight setting of either weight stack, insert a 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

106.5 pounds, in increments of 12.5 pounds. 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 24 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 High Cable (23) with a Cable Clip (53). For some exercises, the Chain (52) should be attached between the Lat Bar and the High Cable with two Cable Clips. Adjust the length of the

Chain between the Lat Bar and the High 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.

ATTACHING THE LAT BAR OR NYLON STRAP TO THE LOW PULLEY STATION

Attach the Lat Bar (54) to the Low Cable (86) with a Cable Clip (53). For some exercises, the Chain (52) should be attached between the Lat Bar and the Low Cable with two Cable Clips. Adjust the length of the

Chain between the Lat Bar and the Low 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.

Page 23

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 SEATS below).

Attach one end of the Chain (52) to the Low Cable (86) with a Cable Clip (53). Attach the other end of the Chain to the Eyebolt (35) with a Cable Clip.

Always remove the Chain (52) from the Eyebolt (35) before removing the seat.

ATTACHING AND REMOVING THE SEATS

See drawing A. Set the bracket on the Front Seat Frame (36) onto the indicated pins on the Front Upright (42). Attach the Front 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 Front Seat Frame (36) 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 Front Seat Frame. Lift the Front Seat Frame off the Front Upright (42).

See drawing B. Align the holes in the Rear Seat Frame (77) with one set of holes in the Rear Upright (56). Attach the Rear Seat Frame to the Rear Upright with the 5/16” x 2 3/4” Carriage Bolt (14) and the Seat Knob (40).

For some exercises, the Rear Seat Frame (77) must be removed. Remove the Seat Knob (40) and the 5/16” x 2 3/4” Carriage Bolt (14) from the Rear Seat Frame. Lift the Seat Frame off the Rear Upright (56).

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 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.

TROUBLE-SHOOTING 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. Insert the Weight Pin (26) under one of the indicated Weights (25). Slack can be removed from the cables by tightening the 1/4” Nylon Locknuts (2) at the end of the High Cable (23) or Rear Cable (95) (see drawing 1) and at the end of the Press Cable (58) (see drawing 2). To do this you may need to remove the Small “U”-Bracket (67) from the Weight Tube (not shown) or remove the 3 1/2” 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 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 “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.

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 DIAGRAMS

The cable diagrams on this page and the next page show the proper routing of the High Cable (23), the Low Cable (86), the Rear Cable (95), and the Press Cable (58). Use the diagrams to be sure that the Cables have been assembled correctly. The starting and ending points of each Cable have been labeled. The numbers show the proper route for each Cable. IMPORTANT: If the Cables have not been correctly routed, the WEIDER

PRO 9730 will not function properly and damage may occur.
