How to Identify Parts

To help you identify the small parts used in assembly,

we have included a PART IDENTIFICATION CHART

in the center 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 draw-

ings.

Tightening Parts

Tighten 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 1-888-936-4266.

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 time. 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 five 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 assem-

bled successfully by anyone. Before begin-

ning assembly, make sure to read the

The instructions below describe how each part of the weight system can be adjusted. Refer to the exercise

guide accompanying this manual to see how the weight system should be set up for each exercise. IMPOR-

TANT: When attaching the lat bar or nylon strap, make sure that the attachments are in the correct start-

ing position for the exercise to be performed. If there is any slack in the cables or chain as an exercise

isperformed, the effectiveness of the exercise will be reduced.

CHANGING THE WEIGHT SETTING

The weight system features two weight stacks. The

front weight stack is connected to the upper and

lower pulleys, the press arm, and the butterfly arms.

The rear weight stack is connected to the squat arm.

To change the weight setting of either 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 either weight

stack can be changed from 6.5 pounds to 106.5

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 19 to find the approximate

amount of resistance at each weight station.

ATTACHING THE LAT BAR OR NYLON STRAP TO

THE HIGH PULLEY STATION

Attach the Lat Bar (54) to the Medium Cable (58) with

aCable Clip (53). For some exercises, the Chain (52)

should be attached between the Lat Bar and the

Medium Cable with two Cable Clips. Adjust the

length of the Chain between the Lat Bar and the

Medium Cable so the Lat Bar is in the correct

starting position for the exercise to be performed.

The Nylon Strap (39) 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 (23) 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

Cable so the Lat Bar is in the correct starting

position for the exercise to be performed.

The Nylon Strap (39) can be attached in the same

manner.

ATTACHING AND REMOVING THE SEAT

Toattach the Seat (13), set the bracket on the Seat

Frame (36) onto the indicated pins on the Front

Upright (42). Attach the Seat Frame to the Front

Upright with the M8 x 70mm Carriage Bolt (14) and

the Seat Knob (40).

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 M8 x

70mm Carriage Bolt (14) from the Seat Frame (36).

Lift the Seat Frame off of the Front Upright (42).

ATTACHING THE LEG LEVER TO THE LOW

PULLEY STATION

To use the Leg Lever (29), the seat must be attached

to the front upright (see ATTACHING AND REMOV-

ING THE SEAT above.)

Attach one end of the Chain (52) to the Short Cable

(23) with a Cable Clip (53). Attach the other end of

the Chain to the Eyebolt (35) with a Cable Clip.

TROUBLESHOOTING AND MAINTENANCE

Make sure all parts are properly tightened each time you use the weight system. Replace any worn parts immedi-

ately. The weight 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 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.

Tightening the Medium and Short Cables

If any slack is felt when using the front weight stack,

both the Medium Cable (58) and the Short Cable (23)

will need to be tightened. Insert the weight pin into

the middle of the weight stack. Slack can be removed

from these cables three ways:

• See drawing 1. Tighten the M8 Nylon Locknut (3)

that connects the end of the Short Cable (23) to

the Long “U”-bracket (57).

• See drawing 1. Remove the M10 Nylon Locknut

(21) and the M10 x 48mm Bolt (94) from the

90mm Pulley (15), Cable Trap (66), and Long “U”-

bracket (57). Re-attach the Pulley and Cable Trap

to the lower hole in the Long “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. Tighten the M8 Nylon Locknut (3)

that connects the end of the Medium Cable (58) to

the Small “U”-bracket (71).

Tightening the Long Cable

If any slack is felt when using the rear weight stack,

the Long Cable (72) will need to be tightened. Insert

the weight pin into the middle of the weight stack.

Slack can be removed from this cable two ways:

• See drawing 2. Tighten the M8 Nylon Locknut (3)

that connects the end of the Long Cable (72) to

the Small “U”-bracket (71).

• See drawing 3. Remove the M10 Nylon Locknut

(21) and the M10 x 120mm Bolt (not shown) from

the “V”-pulley (50) and Long Cable Trap (not

shown). Re-attach the Pulley and Cable Trap to a

lower hole in the Squat Upright (56). Make sure

that the Cable Trap is in the proper position and

that the Cable and Pulley move smoothly.

Do not overtighten the cables. The top weight will

be lifted off the weight stack.

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.

CABLE DIAGRAM

The cable diagram below shows the proper routing of the Long Cable (72), the Medium Cable (58), and the

Short Cable (23). Use the diagram to be sure that the three cables and cable traps have been assembled cor-

rectly. If the cables have not been correctly routed, the weight system will not function properly and damage may

occur. The insets show the proper positioning of the cable traps; the cable traps should be positioned so that the

cables will not come off the pulleys. Besure that the cable traps do not touch or bind the cables.

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 weight 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 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.

Toning

You can tone your muscles by pushing them to a mod-

erate percentage of their capacity. Select a moderate

amount of weight and increase the number of repeti-

tions 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 complet-

ing more sets rather than by using high amounts of

weight.

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.

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 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. 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 achiev-

ing the greatest results is to make exercise a regular

and enjoyable part of your everyday life.
