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.

10. 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 17).

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

11. 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.

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. Do not use the weight system with the top
weight pinned in an elevated position.
14. Always stand on the foot plate when performing an exercise that could cause the
weight system to tip.

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

15. Never release the arms, leg lever, lat bar, or
handle strap while weights are raised. The
weights will fall with great force.

6. Keep children under 12 and pets away from
the weight system at all times.
7. Always wear athletic shoes for foot protection while exercising.

16. Always disconnect the lat bar from the
weight system when performing an exercise
that does not use the lat bar.

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

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

9. Keep hands and feet away from moving parts.

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.

How to Identify Parts

Set Aside Enough Time
Assembling the weight system may require several
hours. By deciding to make the task enjoyable,
assembly will go smoothly. You may want to assemble the weight system over a couple of evenings.

Refer to the PART IDENTIFICATION CHART in the
center of this manual to identify the small parts used
in assembly. 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.

Select a Location for the Weight System

How to Orient Parts

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.

As you assemble the weight system, make sure all
parts are oriented exactly as shown in the drawings.

How to Unpack the Box

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

Tightening Parts

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
packages. Important: Wait until you begin each
stage to open the parts package for that stage.

Questions?
If you have questions after reading the assembly
instructions, please see the front cover of this manual.

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.

Cable Assembly—During this stage you will attach
the cables and pulleys that connect the arms to the
weights.

Arm Assembly—During this stage you will assemble the arms and the moving parts.

Seat Assembly—During the final stage you will
assemble the seats, the backrests, and other parts.

33. Make sure that all parts have been properly tightened. The use of the remaining parts will be explained in
ADJUSTMENTS, beginning on the following page.
Before using the weight system, pull each cable a few times to make sure that the cables move smoothly
around 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 19 of this manual for proper cable routing. If there is any slack in the
cables, you will need to remove the slack by tightening the cables. See MAINTENANCE on page 20.

15

ADJUSTMENTS
This section explains how to adjust the weight system. See the EXERCISE GUIDELINES on page 21 for important information about how to get the most benefit from your exercise program. Also, refer to the accompanying
exercise guide to see the correct form for each exercise.
Make sure all parts are properly tightened each time the weight system is used. Replace any worn parts immediately. The weight system can be cleaned with a damp cloth and a mild, non-abrasive detergent. Do not use solvents.
CHANGING THE WEIGHT SETTING
To change the setting of a weight stack, insert the
Weight Pin (26) under the desired Weight (22). Insert
the Weight Pin so that the bent end touches the
weight stack. Turn the bent end down. Note: Do not
use the Top Weight (25) by itself.

25
22

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 18 to find the
approximate amount of resistance at each weight
station.

ATTACHING THE ACCESSORIES TO A PULLEY
STATION

55
37

Attach the Lat Bar (35) to the High Cable (55) at the
high pulley station with a Cable Clip (37). For some
exercises, the Chain (19) should be attached between
the Lat Bar and the Cable with two Cable Clips. Adjust
the length of the Chain between the Lat Bar and
the Cable so that the Lat Bar is in the correct starting position for the exercise to be performed.

MAINTENANCE
Make sure all parts are properly tightened each time the weight system is used. Replace any worn parts immediately. The weight system can be cleaned with a damp cloth and a mild, non-abrasive detergent. Do not use
solvents.
TIGHTENING THE CABLES
Woven cable, the type of cable used on the weight 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. To tighten the cables, first insert the
weight pin into the middle of the weight stack. Slack can be removed from these cables several ways:
•

•

See drawing 1 inset. Tighten the M8 Nylon
Locknut (58) that connects the end of the Low
Cable (53) to the “U”-bracket (45).

48

See drawing 1. Remove the M10 Nylon Locknut
(56) and the M10 x 51mm Bolt (66) from the
Cable Trap (51), 90mm Pulley (48), the two Half
Finger Guards (43), and “U”-bracket (45).
Reattach the Pulley, Cable Trap, and Finger
Guards to the other hole in the “U”-bracket. Make
sure that the Cable Trap is in the proper position and that the Cable and Pulley move
smoothly.

Do not overtighten the cables. If the cables are overtightened, the top weight will be lifted off the weight
stack. If a cable tends to slip off the pulleys often, it 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.

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 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.)

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 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.

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 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 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 on an elliptical exerciser 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 exercise will reshape and strengthen your body, plus develop your heart and lungs.

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.
EXERCISE FORM
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.

21

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. 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.

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