instructed to do otherwise.
THE FOLLOWING TOOLS (NOT INCLUDED) ARE
REQUIRED FOR ASSEMBLY:

The assembly is divided into four stages: 1) frame
assembly, 2) press and butterfly arm assembly,
3) cable and pulley assembly, and 4) seat and
backrest assembly. The hardware for each stage
is packaged separately.

• Two (2) adjustable
• One (1) standard
• One (1) phillips

25. Make sure that all parts have been properly tightened. Use of the remaining parts will be explained in HOW
TO USE THE HOME GYM SYSTEM, beginning on page 14 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 DIAGRAM on page 17 of this manual for proper cable routing. If there is any slack in the
cables, the cables should be tightened. See TROUBLE-SHOOTING AND MAINTENANCE on page 16.

13

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
To change the weight setting of the 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 the weight stack
can be changed from 6.5 pounds to 81.5 pounds, in
increments of 12.5 pounds. Note: Due to 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 15 to find the actual amount of resistance at
each weight station.
25
26

ATI'ACHING THE LAT BAR OR NYLON STRAP TO
THE HIGH PULLEY STATION
Attach the Lat Bar (54) to the Long Cable (23) with a
Cable Clip (53). For some exercises, the Chain (52)
should be attached between the Lat Bar and the Long
Cable with two Cable Clips. Adjust the length of the
Chain between the Lat Bar and the Long Cable so
the Lat Bar is in the correct starting position for
the exercise to be performed.

53
23

54
The Nylon Strap (39) (not shown) 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 Short Cable (58) 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

58

Cable so the Lat Bar is in the correct starting
position for the exercise to be performed.

ATTACHING AND REMOVING THE SEAT

I1 b 424o

Set the bracket on the Seat Frame (36) onto the indF

Frame to the Front Upright with the 5/16" x 2 3/4"
Carriage Bolt (14) and the Seat Knob (40).

r .36

13

For some exercises, the Seat (13) 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 Seat Frame (36).
Lift the Seat Frame off the Front Upright (42).

To use the Leg Lever (29), the seat must be attached
to the front upright (see ATTACHING AND REMOVING THE SEAT above).

TROUBLE-SHOOTING

AND MAINTENANCE

Inspect and tighten all parts often and 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. IMPORTANT: The
weight pin must be inserted under the middle
weight before tightening the cables. Slack can be
removed from the cables by tightening the 1/4" Nylon
Locknuts (2) at the end of the Long Cable (23) (see
drawing 1) and at the end of the Short Cable (58)
(see drawing 2). To do this you may need to remove
the Small "U" -Bracket (67) from the Weight Tube (63)
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.

76
63

2

Additional slack can be removed by moving the 3 1/2"
Pulley (1.5) to the other hole in the Long "U"-Bracket
(57) (see drawing 2). 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.

diagram to be sure that the two cables 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 starting and ending points
for each cable are labeled. The numbers show the correct route for each cable.
