ASSEMBLY

Hire an Authorized Service Technician

To hire an authorized service technician to

assemble the weight system, call toll-free

1-800-445-2480.

Assembly Requires Two Persons

For your convenience and safety,assemble the

weight system with the help of another person.

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 assem-

ble 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 clearance 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

packages. Important: Wait until you begin each

stage to open the parts package for that stage.

Make Assembly Easier for Yourself

Everything in this manual is designed to

ensure that the weight system can be assem-

bled successfully by almost anyone. Before

beginning assembly, make sure to read the

information on this page. This brief intro-

duction will save you much more time than

it takes to read it.

This section explains how to adjust the weight system. See the EXERCISE GUIDELINES on page 21 for impor-

tant 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 immediate-

ly. 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.

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

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 start-

ing position for the exercise to be performed.

The Lat Bar (35) or the Handle Strap (not shown) can

be attached at either pulley station in the same man-

ner.Always engage the Lock Plate (not shown) when

using the low pulley station (see USING THE LOCK

LEVER below).

USING THE LOCK LEVER

WEIGHT RESISTANCE CHART

The chart below shows the approximate weight resistance at each exercise station. “Top” refers to the 6 lb. top

weight. The other numbers refer to the 12.5 lb. weight plates. Weight resistance shown for the butterfly arm sta-

tion is for each arm. Note: The actual resistance at each station may vary due to differences in individual

weight plates as well as friction between the cables, pulleys, and weight guides.

High Cable (55)

Length: 114 inches

Low Cable (53)

Length: 128 inches

Make sure all parts are properly tightened each time the weight system is used. Replace any worn parts imme-

diately. 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).

•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 posi-

tion and that the Cable and Pulley move

smoothly.

•See drawing 2. Loosen the M12 Nut (82) on the

High Cable (55). Tighten the High Cable into the

Weight Tube (24) until the slack is removed from

the Cable. Retighten the M12 Nut against the

Large Washer (78).

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.

MAINTENANCE

EXERCISE GUIDELINES

THE FOUR BASIC TYPES OF WORKOUTS

Muscle Building

Toincrease the size and strength of your muscles,

push them close to their maximum capacity. Your mus-

cles will continually adapt and grow as you progres-

sively 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 per-

formed. (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 mod-

erate percentage of their capacity. Select a moderate

amount of resistance and increase the number of rep-

etitions in each set. Complete as many sets of 15 to

20 repetitions as possible without discomfort. Rest for

1minute after each set. Work your muscles by com-

pleting 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 bal-

anced 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 exer-

ciser 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 devel-

op your heart and lungs.

PERSONALIZING YOUR EXERCISE PROGRAM

Determining the exact length of time for each workout,

aswell as the number of repetitions or sets completed,

is an individual matter. It is important to avoid overdo-

ing it during the first few months of your exercise pro-

gram. 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 immedi-

ately 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 pro-

gram.

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 deliver-

ing more oxygen to your muscles.

WORKING OUT

Each workout should include 6 to 10 different exercis-

es. 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 accompany-

ing 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.

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 familiarizing

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

without 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 com-

pleted. Record your weight and key body measure-

ments 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.
