Rest for a short period of time after each set. The
ideal resting periods are:
•
Rest for three minutes after each set for a muscle
building workout.
•
Rest for one minute after each set for a toning work-
out.
• Rest for 30 seconds after each set for a weight loss
workout.
Plan to spend the first couple of weeks familiarising
yourself with the equipment and learning the proper
form for each exercise.
COOLING DOWN
End each workout with 5 to 10 minutes of stretching.
Include stretches for both your arms and legs. Move
slowly as you stretch and do not bounce. Ease into
each stretch gradually and go only as far as you can
w
ithout strain. Stretching at the end of each workout
is an effective way to increase flexibility.
STAYING MOTIVATED
For motivation, keep a record of each workout. The
chart on page 23 of this manual can be photocopied
and used to schedule and record your workouts. List
the date, the exercises performed, the resistance
used, and the numbers of sets and repetitions completed. Record your weight and key body measurements at the end of every month. Remember, the key
to achieving the greatest results is to make exercise a
regular and enjoyable part of your everyday life.

WARNING:To reduce the risk of serious injury, read the following important precautions
b
efore using the weight system.
IMPORTANT PRECAUTIONS
1
. Read all instructions in this manual and in
the accompanying literature before using the
weight system.
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 sys
-
tem to protect the floor.
5. Make sure all parts are properly tightened
each time the weight system is used.
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. The weight system is designed to support a
a maximum user weight of 136 kg (300 lbs.).
1
0. Always stand on a foot plate when performing an exercise that could cause the weight
system to tip.
11. Never release the press arm, butterfly arms,
leg lever, lat bar, or nylon strap whilst
weights are raised. The weights will fall with
great force.
12. Make sure that the cables remain on the pulleys at all times. If the cables bind whilst you
are exercising, stop immediately and make
sure that the cables are on all of the pulleys.
13.
Always disconnect the lat bar from the
weight system when performing an exercise
that does not require the lat bar.
14. Learn the correct technique before using the
punching bag or speed bag. Always wear the
proper protective gear for your hands and
wrists whilst using either bag. Using either
bag without the correct technique or the
proper gear could result in serious injury.
15. If you feel pain or dizziness at any time
whilst exercising, stop immediately and
begin cooling down.
WARNING: Before beginning this or any exercise program, consult your physician. This
is especially important for persons over the age of 35 or persons with pre-existing health problems.
Read all instructions before using. ICON assumes no responsibility for personal injury or property
damage sustained by or through the use of this product.

Thank you for selecting the versatile WESLO
®
SPARRING SYSTEM weight system. The weight syst
em offers a selection of weight stations designed to
develop every major muscle group of the body.
W
hether your goal is to tone your body, build dramatic
muscle size and strength, or improve your cardiovascular system, the weight system will help you to
achieve the specific results you want.
For your benefit, read this manual carefully before
using the weight system.
If you have additional
questions, please call our Customer Service
Department toll-free at
08457 089 009. To help us
a
ssist you, please note the product model number and
serial number before calling. The model number is
W
LEVSY29530. The serial number can be found on a
decal attached to the weight system (see the front
cover of this manual).
Before reading further, please review the drawing
below and familiarise yourself with the parts that are
labelled.
Note: The terms “right side” and “left side” are determined
relative to a person sitting on the seat; they do not corre
-
spond to right and left on the drawings in this manual.
EXERCISE GUIDELINES
THE FOUR BASIC TYPES OF WORKOUTS
MUSCLE BUILDING
To increase the size and strength of your muscles,
push them close to their maximum capacity. Your muscles will continually adapt and grow as you progressively increase the intensity of your exercise. You can
adjust the intensity level of an individual exercise in
two ways:
• by changing the amount of resistance used
• by changing the number of repetitions or sets performed. (A “repetition” is one complete cycle of an
exercise, such as one sit-up. A “set” is a series of
repetitions.)
The proper amount of resistance for each exercise
depends upon the individual user. You must gauge
your limits and select the amount of resistance that is
right for you. Begin with 3 sets of 8 repetitions for each
exercise you perform. Rest for 3 minutes after each
set. When you can complete 3 sets of 12 repetitions
without difficulty, increase the amount of resistance.
TONING
You can tone your muscles by pushing them to a moderate percentage of their capacity. Select a moderate
amount of resistance and increase the number of repetitions in each set. Complete as many sets of 15 to
20 repetitions as possible without discomfort. Rest for
1 minute after each set. Work your muscles by completing more sets rather than by using high amounts of
resistance.
WEIGHT LOSS
To lose weight, use a low amount of resistance and
increase the number of repetitions in each set.
Exercise for 20 to 30 minutes, resting for a maximum
of 30 seconds between sets.
CROSS TRAINING
Cross training is an ef
ficient way to get a complete and
well-balanced fitness program.
An example of a bal-
anced program is:
• Plan strength training workouts on Monday,
W
ednesday, and Friday.
•
Plan 20 to 30 minutes of aerobic exercise, such as
running on a treadmill or riding on an elliptical or
exercise bike, on
Tuesday and Thursday.
•
Rest from both strength training and aerobic exercise
for at least one full day each week to give your body
time to regenerate.
The combination of strength training and aerobic exer
cise will reshape and strengthen your body, plus develop your heart and lungs.
PERSONALISING YOUR EXERCISE PROGRAM
Determining the exact length of time for each workout,
as well as the number of repetitions or sets completed,
is an individual matter. It is important to avoid overdoing it during the first few months of your exercise program. You should progress at your own pace and be
sensitive to your body’s signals. If you experience pain
or dizziness at any time whilst exercising, stop immediately and begin cooling down. Find out what is wrong
before continuing. Remember that adequate rest and a
proper diet are important factors in any exercise program.
WARMING UP
Begin each workout with 5 to 10 minutes of stretching
and light exercise to warm up. Warming up prepares
your body for more strenuous exercise by increasing
circulation, raising your body temperature and delivering more oxygen to your muscles.
WORKING OUT
Each workout should include 6 to 10 different exercises. Select exercises for every major muscle group,
emphasising areas that you want to develop most. To
give balance and variety to your workouts, vary the
exercises from session to session.
Schedule your workouts for the time of day when your
energy level is the highest. Each workout should be
followed by at least one day of rest. Once you find the
schedule that is right for you, stick with it.
EXERCISE FORM
Maintaining proper form is an essential part of an
ef
fective exercise program.
This requires moving
through the full range of motion for each exercise, and
moving only the appropriate parts of the body
.
Exercising in an uncontrolled manner will leave you
feeling exhausted. On the exercise guide accompany
ing this manual you will find photographs showing the
correct form for several exercises, and a list of the
muscles af
fected. Refer to the muscle chart on the
next page to find the names of the muscles.
The repetitions in each set should be performed
smoothly and without pausing.
The exertion stage of
each repetition should last about half as long as the
return stage. Proper breathing is important. Exhale
during the exertion stage of each repetition and inhale
during the return stroke. Never hold your breath.

CABLE DIAGRAM
The cable diagram below shows the proper routing of the Long Cable (41) and the Short Cable (42). Use the
diagram to make sure that the two cables, the cable traps, and the pulley covers 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
l
abelled. Make sure that the cable traps and pulley covers do not touch or bind the cables.

Make sure you have the following tools:
• two adjustable wrenches
• one standard screwdriver
• one phillips screwdriver
• one rubber mallet
• You will also need grease or petroleum jelly, and a
small amount of soapy water.
Note: 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.
How to Identify 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 and use it to easily identify parts during each
assembly step.
Note: Some small parts may have
been pre-attached. If a part is not in the parts
bag, check to see if it has been pre-attached.
How to Orient Parts
As you assemble the weight system, make sure that
all parts are oriented exactly as shown in the drawings.
Tightening Parts
T
ighten all parts as you assemble them, unless
instructed to do otherwise.
Questions?
If you have questions after reading the assembly
instructions, please call our Customer Service
Department at
08457 089 009.
Assembly Requires Two Persons
For your convenience and safety, assemble the
weight system with the help of another person.
Set Aside Enough Time
Due to the many features of the weight system, the
assembly process will take a few hours. By setting
aside plenty of time and by deciding to make the
task enjoyable, assembly will go smoothly. You may
want to assemble the weight system over a couple
of evenings.
Select a Location for the Weight System
Because of its weight and size, the weight system
should be assembled in the location where it will be
used. Make sure that there is enough room to walk
around the weight system as you assemble it.
How to Unpack the Box
To make assembly as easy as possible, we have
divided the assembly process into four stages.
The
parts needed for each stage are found in individual
bags. Important: Wait until you begin each stage
to open the parts bag for that stage. Place all
parts of the weight system in a cleared area and
remove the packing materials. Do not dispose
of
the packing materials until assembly is completed.
Make Assembly Easier for Yourself
Everything in this manual is designed to
ensure that the weight system can be assembled successfully by anyone. Before begin-
ning assembly, make sure to read the
information on this page. This brief introduction will save you much more time than
it takes to read it.
The Four Stages of the Assembly Process
Frame Assembly—You will begin by assembling
the base and the uprights that form the skeleton of
the weight system.
Arm Assembly—During this stage you will
assemble the arms and the leg lever
.
Cable Assembly—During this stage you will
attach the cables and pulleys that connect the
arms to the weights.
Seat Assembly—During the final stage you will
assemble the seat and the backrest.
