IMPORTANT PRECAUTIONS

1. It is the responsibility of the owner to ensure

that all users of the weight bench are ade-

quately informed of all precautions.

2. Before beginning any exercise program,

consult your physician. This is especially

important for persons over age 35 or per-

sons with pre-existing health problems.

3. Use the weight bench only as described in

this manual.

4. The weight bench is intended for home use

only. Do not use the weight bench in a com-

mercial, rental, or institutional setting.

5. Keep the weight bench indoors, away from

moisture and dust. Do not put the weight

bench in a garage or covered patio, or near

water.

6. Place the weight bench on a level surface,

with a mat beneath it to protect the floor or

carpet. Make sure that there is enough clear-

ance around the weight bench to mount,

dismount, and use it.

7. Inspect and properly tighten all parts regu-

larly. Replace any worn parts immediately.

8. Keep children under age 12 and pets away

from the weight bench at all times.

9. Wear appropriate clothes while exercising;

do not wear loose clothes that could become

caught on the weight bench. Wear athletic

shoes for foot protection while exercising.

10. Keep hands and feet away from moving

parts.

11. The weight bench is designed to support a

maximum user weight of 300 lbs. (136 kg)

Do not place more than 150 lbs. (68 kg) of

weight on the weight carriage. Do not place

more than 310 lbs. (141 kg) of weight, includ-

ing a barbell, on the bar cradles. Note: A

exercise guide to see the correct form for several exercises.

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

ately. To clean the weight bench, use a damp cloth and a mild, non-abrasive detergent; do not use solvents.

ADJUSTMENT

ATTACHING WEIGHT PLATES TO THE WEIGHT

CARRIAGE

Slide the desired weight plates (A) onto the weight

tubes on the Weight Carriage (10). Then, secure a

Weight Clip (19) onto each weight tube.

WARNING:

Place an equal

amount of weight on each weight tube

on the Weight Carriage (10). Do not place

more than 150 lbs. (68 kg) on the Weight

Carriage. Always secure weight plates with

the Weight Clips (19).

ADJUSTING THE BAR CRADLES

To adjust the height of the left Bar Cradle (12),

remove the Adjustment Pin (30), slide the Bar

Cradle upward or downward to the desired position,

and then insert the Adjustment Pin into one of the

adjustment holes in the left Upright (3). Make sure

that the Adjustment Pin is firmly engaged in an

adjustment hole.

Adjust the right Bar Cradle (12) in the same way.

Make sure to adjust the Bar Cradles to the same

height.

WARNING:

Do not place

a barbell with more than 310 lbs. (141 kg)

of weight on the Bar Cradles (12). Note: A

barbell is not included.

ATTACHING THE ACCESSORIES

Attach the Lat Bar (17) to the Short Cable (31) at the

high pulley station with a Cable Clip (54).

For some exercises, attach the Chain (18) between

the Lat Bar (17) and the Short Cable (31) with two

Cable Clips (54). Adjust the length of the Chain

between the Lat Bar and the Short Cable so that

the Lat Bar is in the correct starting position for

the exercise to be performed.

The Lat Bar (17), the Row Bar (16), or the Handle

(57) can be attached to the Long Cable (52) at the

low pulley station in the same way.

ATTACHING THE VKR FRAME

Attach the VKR Frame (9) to the Guide (4) with the

VKR Pin (36). Remove the VKR Frame from the

weight bench when it is not in use.

Make sure that all parts are properly tightened each time you use the weight bench. Replace any worn parts

immediately. The weight bench can be cleaned with a damp cloth and mild, non-abrasive detergent; do not use

solvents to clean the weight bench.

TIGHTENING THE CABLES

Woven cable, the type of cable used on the weight bench, 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 place a few

weight plates on the weight carriage. Slack can be removed from the cables in the following way:

Remove an M10 Locknut (47) and an M10 x 50mm

Bolt (46) from two Half Guards (35), two Pulley

Brackets (34), a Cable Trap (33), and a Pulley (32).

Reattach the Pulley (32), the Cable Trap (33), and

the Half Guards (35) to a hole closer to the center of

the Pulley Brackets (34). Make sure that the Cable

Trap is oriented to hold the Short Cable (31) in

the groove of the Pulley and that the Short Cable

and Pulley move smoothly.

Do not overtighten the cables. If the cables are overtightened, the weight carriage will lift away from

the base of the weight bench. If a cable tends to slip off the pulleys often, it may have become twisted.

Remove the cable and reinstall it. If the cables need to be replaced, see the part ordering information on the

back cover of this manual.

CABLE DIAGRAM

The diagram below shows the proper routing of the cables. The numbers in each drawing show the proper route

of that cable. Cut along the dotted line, and refer to this diagram while you assemble the cables and the pulleys.

If the cables and the pulleys are not assembled correctly, the weight bench will not function properly and damage

may occur. Make sure that the cable traps do not touch or bind the cables. After you assemble the weight

bench, save this diagram with this manual for future reference.

NOTES

EXERCISE GUIDELINES

FOUR TYPES OF STRENGTH WORKOUTS

Note: A “repetition” is one complete cycle of an

exercise, such as one sit-up. A “set” is a series of

repetitions.

Muscle Building—Work your muscles near their maxi-

mum capacity and progressively increase the intensity

of your exercise. Adjust the intensity level of an indi-

vidual exercise as follows:

• Change the amount of resistance used.

• Change the number of repetitions or sets performed.

Use your own judgment to determine 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—Tone your muscles by working them to a

moderate percentage of their capacity. Select a moder-

ate 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 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—Combine strength training and aero-

bic exercise by following this type of program:

• Strength training workouts on Monday, Wednesday,

and Friday.

• 20 to 30 minutes of aerobic exercise on Tuesday and

Thursday.

• One full day of rest each week to give your body time

to regenerate.

WORKOUT GUIDELINES

Familiarize yourself with the equipment and learn the

proper form for each exercise. Use your own judgment

to determine the appropriate length of time for each

workout, and the numbers of repetitions and sets to

complete. Progress at your own pace and be sensitive

to your body’s signals. Follow each workout with at

least one day of rest.

Warming Up—Start with 5 to 10 minutes of stretch-

ing and light exercise. A warm-up increases your body

temperature, heart rate, and circulation in preparation

for exercise.

Working Out—Include 6 to 10 different exercises in

each workout. Select exercises for every major muscle

group, emphasizing areas that you want to develop.

To give balance and variety to your workouts, vary the

exercises from workout to workout.

Cooling Down—Finish with 5 to 10 minutes of stretch-

ing. Stretching increases the flexibility of your muscles

and helps to prevent post-exercise problems.

EXERCISE FORM

Move through the full range of motion for each exer-

cise and move only the appropriate parts of the body.

Perform the repetitions in each set smoothly and

without pausing. The exertion stage of each repeti-

tion should last about half as long as the return stage.

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:

• Muscle Building—Rest for three minutes after each

set.

• Toning—Rest for one minute after each set.

• Weight Loss—Rest for 30 seconds after each set.

STAYING MOTIVATED

For motivation, keep a record of each workout. Write

the date, the exercises performed, the resistance used,

and the numbers of sets and repetitions completed.

Record your weight and key body measurements once

a month. To achieve good results, make exercise a

regular and enjoyable part of your life.
