IMPORTANT PRECAUTIONS
WARNING:
To reduce the risk of serious injury, read the following important precautions
before using the resistance system.
1. Read all instructions in this manual before
using the resistance system. Use the resist-
ance system only as described in this manual.
13. When adding resistance, both ends of the
resistance bars must rest under the two “U”-
channels. Add and remove resistance bars
from the “U”-channels one resistance bar at
a time.
2. It is the responsibility of the owner to ensure
that all users of the resistance system are
adequately informed of all precautions.
14. Keep clear of the area around the “U”-chan-
nels while the resistance system is in use.
Do not add or remove resistance bars from
the “U”-channels while the end of the long
cable is pulled out.
3. The resistance system is intended for home
use only. Do not use the resistance system in
any commercial, rental, or institutional setting.
15. Always adjust the resistance bar assembly to
the horizontal position and make sure the
fulcrum knob is secure before using the
resistance system.
4. Use the resistance system only on a level
surface. Cover the floor beneath the resist-
ance system to protect the floor.
5. Make sure that all parts are properly tight-
ened each time the resistance system is
used. Replace any worn parts immediately.
16. The resistance system is designed to be
used with the included resistance, and the
resistance included with a MAX by WEIDER
MAX PACK. Do not use the resistance sys-
tem with any other type of resistance.
6. Keep children under 12 and pets away from
the resistance system at all times.
17. If you purchase the optional lat bar, always
disconnect it from the short cables when per-
forming an exercise that does not require it.
7. Keep hands and feet away from moving parts.
8. Always wear athletic shoes for foot protec-
tion while exercising.
18. Make sure the storage knob is in place and
fully tightened each time the resistance sys-
tem is used.
9. The top frame is not designed to be used for
pull-up exercises. Do not hang on the top
frame.
19. Make sure that the cables remain on the pul-
leys 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.
10. The resistance system is designed to sup-
port a maximum user weight of 300 pounds.
11. Pull on the low pulley cable only while sitting
on the bench or standing on the base plate.
Pull on the high pulley cables only while sit-
ting on the bench, with the seat in one of the
three positions closest to the upright base,
or while standing on the base plate.
20. Keep the resistance system indoors, away
from moisture and dust. Do not put the
resistance system in a garage or covered
patio, or near water.
21. If you feel pain or dizziness while exercising,
stop immediately and begin cooling down.
12. Make sure the rings on the resistance bars
are pushed against the tray before using the
resistance system.

ASSEMBLY
• Tighten all parts as you assemble them, unless
instructed to do otherwise.
Make Things Easier for Yourself
This manual is designed to ensure that the resist-
ance system can be assembled successfully by
most people. However, it is important to realize
that the versatile resistance system has many
parts and that the assembly process will take
time. Most people find that by setting aside plenty
of time, assembly will go smoothly.
• As you assemble the resistance system, make
sure all parts are oriented as shown in the draw-
ings.
The included Allen wrenches and the follow-
ing tools (not included) are required for assem-
bly:
• Two adjustable wrenches
• One rubber mallet
Before beginning assembly, carefully read the
following information and instructions:
• Assembly requires two persons.
• One standard screwdriver
• Place all parts in a cleared area and remove the
packing materials. Do not dispose of the packing
materials until assembly is completed.
• One Phillips screwdriver
• Lubricant, such as grease or petroleum jelly,
and soapy water.
• For help identifying small parts, use the PART
IDENTIFICATION CHART. Note: Some small
parts may have been pre-attached for shipping. If
a part is not in the parts bag, check to see if it
has been pre-attached.
Assembly will be more convenient if you have a
socket set, a set of open-end or closed-end
wrenches, or a set of ratchet wrenches.

ADJUSTMENTS
This section explains how to adjust the resistance system. See the EXERCISE GUIDELINES on page 17 for
important information about how to get the most benefit from your exercise program. Also, refer to the accompa-
nying exercise guide to see the correct form for each exercise.
Make sure all parts are properly tightened each time the resistance system is used. Replace worn parts immedi-
ately. The resistance system can be cleaned with a damp cloth and a mild, non-abrasive detergent. Do not use
solvents. The resistance bars can be cleaned with a vinyl and rubber protectant, available at an automotive or
department store.

49
To attach a Short Handle (49) to a high pulley, first
attach the high pulley to the resistance system (see
ATTACHING THE HIGH PULLEYS AND LEG LEVER
on page 13). Then, attach the Short Handle to the
Short Cable (33) with a Cable Clip (51).
The Long Handles (not shown) and the Ankle Strap
(not shown) can be attached to the Long Cable (80)
with Cable Clips (51). Attach the Leg Press Strap (not
shown) to both ends of the Long Cable, or the optional
lat bar to the Short Cables (33), with two Cable Clips.
Note: A lat bar is an optional accessory for the
resistance system. To purchase a lat bar, call
1-877-992-5999 and ask for model number
WEMC0442.

ADJUSTING THE RESISTANCE
To add resistance, hold a “U”-channel on the 10-
Pound Center Resistance Bar (44) firmly and push
the end of a resistance bar under it. Repeat with the
other side. If more resistance is needed, add one
resistance bar at a time.

Note: When adding resistance, always start with the
heaviest resistance bar to be used, and finish with the
lightest resistance bar. When removing resistance
bars from the “U”-channels, start with the lightest
resistance bar and finish with the heaviest.

WARNING:
When adding resist-

ance, make sure that both ends of the resist-
ance bar rest under the two “U”-channels. The
rings on the Removable Resistance Bars (36,
67) must be pushed against the Tray (35). Do
not add or remove resistance bars from the
“U”-channels while the end of the Long Cable
(80) is pulled out.
Note: The resistance system uses progressive resist-
ance. As the resistance bars begin to bend, the
amount of resistance will increase gradually. As the
resistance bars bend further, the resistance will
increase rapidly.
Additional resistance can be added to the resistance
system. To purchase more resistance, call
1-877-992-5999 and asking for model number
WEMC0642 (100-Pound MAX PACK) or WEMC0942
(200-Pound MAX PACK).

STORING THE RESISTANCE SYSTEM
To store the resistance system, slide the ends of the
Leg Lever Cable (32) onto the hook on the bottom of
the Bench Rail (5). Make sure the Seat (13) is in the
position closest to the Front Leg (6) (see ADJUSTING
THE SEAT on page 13). Next, remove the Storage
Knob (30) from the Upright (3). Lift the Front Leg
toward the Top Frame (10), and tighten the Storage
Knob into the side of the Upright and the Bench Rail.
Remove all of the resistance bars from the “U”-chan-
nels on the 10-Pound Center Resistance Bar (44)
(see ADJUSTING THE RESISTANCE on page 14).
Finally, loosen the Fulcrum Knob (43) and pull it out
as far as it will go. Turn the resistance bar assembly
vertically and engage the Fulcrum Knob into the ful-
crum on the Lat Tower (4). Note: Storing the resist-
ance bar vertically will prolong the life of the
resistance bars.

adjust the intensity level of an individual exercise in
two ways:

formed. (A “repetition” is one complete cycle of an
exercise, such as one sit-up. A “set” is a series of
repetitions.)

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
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

and light exercise to warm up. Warming up prepares

followed by at least one day of rest. Once you find the
schedule that is right for you, stick with it.
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.
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

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.
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 page
18 to find the names of the muscles.

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 one minute after each set for a toning work-
out.
STAYING MOTIVATED
• 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.
For motivation, keep a record of each workout. The
chart on page 19 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.
COOLING DOWN
End each workout with 5 to 10 minutes of stretching.
Include stretches for both your arms and legs. Move
