IMPORTANT PRECAUTIONS
WARNING: To reduce the risk of serious injury, read the following important precautions before
using the home gym system.
9. Keep hands and feet away from moving
parts.

1. Read all instructions in this manual and in
the accompanying literature before using the
home gym system.

10. Keep your hands away from the squat arm
upright when the squat arm is being used.
Your hand could become pinched between
the squat arm upright and squat arm.

2. Use the home gym system only on a level
surface. Cover the floor beneath the home
gym system for protection.

11. Inspect all cables before each use. Make
sure that the cables remain on the pulleys at
all times. If the cables bind while you are
exercising, stop immediately and make sure
that the cables are on all of the pulleys.
Replace all cables every two years.

3. Inspect and tighten all parts often. Replace
any worn parts immediately.
4. Keep children under 12 and pets away from
the home gym system at all times.
5. Never release the press arm, butterfly arms,
squat arm, leg lever, lat bar or nylon strap
while weights are raised. The weights will fall
with great force.

12. Always disconnect the lat bar from the home
gym system when performing an exercise
that does not use the lat bar.

6. Do not use the VKR station when either
weight stack is in use.

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

7. Always wear athletic shoes for foot
protection.
8. Always stand on a foot plate when performing an exercise that could cause the home
gym system to tip.
WARNING: Before beginning this or any exercise program, consult your physician. This is especially

DECALS

B ÑHIGH PULLEY
CÑBUTTERFLY
DÑMILITARY PRESS
E ÑSQUAT STATION
F ÑBENCH PRESS
GÑLEG DEVELOPER

I ÑVKR
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 16 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 19 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 18.

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
The WEIDER 8530 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.

26

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 17 to find the actual amount of
resistance at each weight station.

25

ATTACHING THE LAT BAR OR NYLON STRAP TO
THE HIGH PULLEY STATION
53

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

52
58

53
54

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

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.

ATTACHING AND REMOVING THE SEAT

40
36

To attach 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 5/16Ó x 2 3/4Ó Carriage Bolt (14) and
the Seat Knob (40).

13

42

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 5/16Ó
x 2 3/4Ó Carriage Bolt (14) from the Seat Frame (36).
Lift the Seat Frame off the Front Upright (42).

14

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 REMOVING THE SEAT above.)

53

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.

WEIGHT RESISTANCE CHART
This chart shows the approximate weight resistance at each station. ÒTopÓ refers to the 6.5 lbs. top weight. The
other numbers refer to the 12.5 lbs. weight plates. The butterfly arm resistance listed is the resistance for each
butterfly arm. Note: The actual resistance at each weight station may vary due to differences in individual weight
plates, as well as friction between the cables, pulleys, and weight guides.

TROUBLE-SHOOTING AND MAINTENANCE
Inspect and tighten all parts each time you use the home gym system. 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.
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:
¥

1

58

See drawing 1. Tighten the 1/4Ó Nylon Locknut (2) that
connects the end of the Short Cable (23) to the Long
ÒUÓ-Bracket (57).

21

¥

¥

See drawing 1. Move the 3 1/2Ó Pulley (15) to the other
hole in the Long ÒUÓ-Bracket (57). Remove the 3/8Ó
Nylon Locknut (21) and the 3/8Ó x 2Ó Bolt (12) from the
Cable Trap (66), Pulley, and Long ÒUÓ-Bracket. Reattach the Pulley and Cable Trap. Be sure that the
Cable Trap is in the proper position and that the Cable
and Pulley move smoothly.

See drawing 3. Move the ÒVÓ-Pulley (50) to another
hole in the Squat Arm Upright (56). Remove the 3/8Ó
Nylon Locknut (21) and the 3/8Ó x 5Ó Bolt (not shown)
from the Long Cable Trap (not shown), and Pulley. Reattach the Pulley and Cable Trap. Be sure that the
Cable trap is in the proper position and that the Cable
and Pulley move smoothly.

56

Do not overtighten the cables. The top weight will be
lifted off the weight stack.
Note: Inspect all cables before each use. If a cable
tends to slip off the pulleys often, the cable may have
become twisted. Remove the cable and re-install it.

21
50

If the cables need to be replaced, see ORDERING REPLACEMENT PARTS on the back cover of this manual.
Replace all cables every two years.

18

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 correctly. If the cables have not been correctly routed, the home gym 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. Be sure that the cable traps do not touch or bind the cables.
