IMPORTANT PRECAUTIONS
WARNING:

To reduce the risk of serious injury, read the following important precautions
before using the weight system.
1. Read all instructions in this manual and all
warnings on the weight system before using
the weight system. Use the weight system
only as described in this manual.

9. Always wear athletic shoes for foot protection while exercising.
10. Always stand on the foot plate when performing an exercise that could cause the
weight system to tip.

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

11. The weight system is designed to support a
maximum user weight of 300 pounds.

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

12. The weight system is designed to be used
only with the included weight. Do not use the
weight system with dumbbells or any other
type of weight to increase the resistance.

4. Keep the weight system indoors, away from
moisture and dust. Place the weight system
on a level surface, with a mat beneath it to
protect the floor or carpet. Make sure that
there is enough clearance around the weight
system to mount, dismount, and use the
weight system.

13. Always move the seat frame out of the way
when performing squat exercises.
14. Never release the ankle strap, leg lever,
squat bar, leg press, or handles while
weights are raised. The weights will fall with
great force.

5. Inspect and properly tighten all parts regularly. Replace any worn parts immediately.

15. Do not use the weight system with the top
weight pinned in an elevated position.

6. Keep children under 12 and pets away from
the weight system at all times.

16. Always secure the weight stack with the lock
pin and lock after exercising to prevent
unauthorized use of the weight system (see
LOCKING THE WEIGHT STACK on page 15).

7. Keep hands and feet away from moving parts.
8. Make sure that the cables remain on the pulleys at all times. If the cables bind as you are
exercising, stop immediately and make sure
that the cables are on the pulleys. Replace all
cables at least every two years.

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

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

Make Things Easier for Yourself
Everything in this manual is designed to ensure
that the weight system can be assembled successfully by almost anyone. However, the weight
system has many parts and the assembly
process will take time. By setting aside plenty of
time, assembly will go smoothly.

• As you assemble the weight system, make sure
all parts are oriented as shown in the drawings.
• Assembly requires two people.
• For help identifying small parts, use the PART
IDENTIFICATION CHART.

To hire an authorized service technician to
assemble the weight system, call toll-free
1-800-445-2480.

The included grease and the following tools (not
included) may be required for assembly:
• Two adjustable wrenches

Before beginning assembly, carefully read the
following information and instructions:

• One rubber mallet
• One standard screwdriver

• 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
clearance to walk around the weight system as
you assemble it.

• One Phillips screwdriver
• Clear tape or masking tape, 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.

• Place all parts in a cleared area and remove the
packing materials. Do not dispose of the packing
materials until assembly is completed.

EXERCISE GUIDELINES
THE FOUR BASIC TYPES OF WORKOUTS

PERSONALIZING YOUR EXERCISE PROGRAM

Muscle Building
To increase the size and strength of your muscles,
push them to a high percentage of their maximum
capacity. Your muscles will 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 weight 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.)

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 while 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

The proper amount of weight for each exercise
depends upon the individual user. You must gauge
your limits and select the amount of weight 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 weight.

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

Toning
You can tone your muscles by pushing them to a moderate percentage of their capacity. Select a moderate
amount of weight 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
weight.

Each workout should include 6 to 10 different exercises. Select exercises for every major muscle group,
emphasizing 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.

Weight Loss
To lose weight, use a low amount of weight and
increase the number of repetitions in each set.
Exercise for 20 to 30 minutes, resting for a maximum
of 30 seconds between sets.

EXERCISE FORM

Cross Training
Cross training is an efficient way to get a complete and
well-balanced fitness program. An example of a balanced program is:
• Plan strength training workouts on Monday,
Wednesday, and Friday.
• Plan 20 to 30 minutes of aerobic exercise, such as
running on a treadmill or riding an elliptical or an
exercise cycle, 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 exercise will reshape and strengthen your body, plus develop your heart and lungs.

Maintaining proper form is an essential part of an
effective 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 accompanying this manual you will find photographs showing the
correct form for several exercises, and a list of the
muscles affected. 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.

slowly as you stretch and do not bounce. Ease into
each stretch gradually and go only as far as you can
without strain. Stretching at the end of each workout
is an effective way to increase flexibility.

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 workout.
• Rest for 30 seconds after each set for a weight loss
workout.
Plan to spend the first couple of weeks familiarizing
yourself with the equipment and learning the proper
form for each exercise.

STAYING MOTIVATED
For motivation, keep a record of each workout. 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.

COOLING DOWN
End each workout with 5 to 10 minutes of stretching.
Include stretches for both your arms and legs. Move
