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 fol-
lowing tools (not included) are required for
assembly:
• 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.

CABLE DIAGRAM
The cable diagram shows the proper routing of the
Upper Cable (115). Use the diagram to make sure
that the Cable has been assembled correctly. If the
Cable has not been correctly routed, the resistance
system will not function properly and damage may
occur. The numbers show the correct route for the
Cable. Make sure that the ends of the Cable do
not wrap around each other between positions 1
and 2, and 6 and 7.

TROUBLESHOOTING
RECALIBRATING THE CONSOLE
To recalibrate the Console (67), first plug in the resist-
ance system (see PLUGGING IN THE RESISTANCE
SYSTEM on page 16). Then, press and hold the
NEXT button and the MOTORIZED WEIGHT
ADJUSTMENT + button for five seconds. When the
buttons are released, a number will appear in the
REPS display. Press the NEXT button again, and then
press the MOTORIZED WEIGHT ADJUSTMENT +
button; this will start the recalibration process. This
may take a few minutes as the motor moves between
the lowest and highest resistance settings. When the
motor finishes, unplug the transformer from the 120-
volt outlet.
67
The Console (67) will be recalibrated. Use the resist-
ance system as described in the CONSOLE OPERA-
TION section, starting on page 16.
CLEANING THE BAR GUIDES
Over time, dust may build up on the Crossbar Guides
(15), causing a squeaking noise as the resistance
system is used. If this occurs, wipe off the Crossbar
Guides with a damp cloth and a mild, non-abrasive
detergent. Do not use solvents.
15
ADJUSTING THE RESISTANCE
When the resistance setting changes, the motor will
be heard. To prevent damage to the motor, do not
pull any of the cables while the resistance setting
is changing. If a cable is pulled, the words
RELEASE HANDLES AND READJUST RESIST-
ANCE AS DESIRED may appear in the main display
on the console.
If this message is displayed repeatedly but no cable
is being pulled, there may be too much tension on the
Upper Cable (115). Adjust the tension as described
below.
To decrease the tension on the Upper Cable (115),
turn the two 3/8” x 38mm Tension Screws (59) twice,
counterclockwise. Select the desired resistance set-
ting. Repeat this step if necessary.

two ways:

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 cycle, 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. See the muscle chart on the next
page to find the names of the muscles.

for at least one full day each week to give your body

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 pages 22 and 23 of this manual can be pho-
tocopied and used to schedule and record your work-
outs. List the date, the exercises performed, the resist-
ance used, and the numbers of sets and repetitions
completed. Record your weight and key body meas-
urements at the end of every month. Remember, the
key to achieving the greatest results is to make exer-
cise 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
