Assembly
Make sure you have the following tools:
¥ Two (2) adjustable wrenches
¥ One (1) standard screwdriver
¥ One (1) phillips screwdriver
Make Assembly Easier for Yourself!
Everything in this manual is designed to
ensure that the training system can be
assembled successfully by anyone. Before
beginning assembly, make sure to read the
information on this page; this brief intro-
duction will save you much more time than
it takes to read it!
¥ One (1) rubber mallet
¥ You will also need grease or petroleum jelly, a
small amount of soapy water, and clear tape or
masking tape.
Assembly Requires Two Persons
Note: 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.
For your convenience and safety, assemble the
training system with the help of another person.
Set Aside Enough Time
How to Identify Parts
Due to the many features of the training system,
the assembly process will require a few hours. By
setting aside plenty of time and by deciding to
make the task enjoyable, assembly will go smoothly.
You may want to assemble the training system over
a couple of evenings.
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.
Select a Location for the Training
System
How to Orient Parts
Because of its weight and size, the training system
should be assembled in the location where it will be
used. Make sure that there is enough room to walk
around the training system as you assemble it.
As you assemble the training system, make sure
that all parts are oriented exactly as shown in the
drawings.
Tightening Parts
How to Unpack the Box
Tighten all parts as you assemble them, unless
instructed to do otherwise.
To make assembly as easy as possible, we have
divided the assembly process into three stages.
The parts needed for each stage are found in indi-
vidual bags. Important: Wait until you begin each
stage to open the parts bag for that stage. Place
all parts of the training system in a cleared area
and remove the packing materials. Do not dispose
of the packing materials until assembly is completed.
Questions?
If you have questions after reading the assembly
instructions, please call our Customer Service
Department toll-free at 1-888-825-2588 Monday
through Friday, 6 a.m. until 6 p.m. Mountain Time.
The Three Stages of the Assembly Process
Frame AssemblyÑYou will begin by assembling
the base and the uprights that serve as the skele-
ton of the training system.
Arm and Seat AssemblyÑDuring this stage you
will assemble the arms and the leg lever, the
seat, the backrest, and other miscellaneous parts.
Cable AssemblyÑDuring this stage you will
attach the cables and pulleys that connect the
arms with each other and with the weights.

ADJUSTMENT, beginning on page 17 of this manual.
Before using the training system, pull each cable a few times to make 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. If there is any
slack in the cables, you will need to remove the slack by tightening the cables. See TROUBLE-
SHOOTING AND MAINTENANCE on page 19.

Cable Diagram
The diagram below shows the proper routing of the Low Cable (72) and the High Cable (73). The numbers show
the correct route for each Cable. Make sure that the Cables are routed correctly, that the pulleys move
smoothly, and that the cable traps do not touch or bind the Cables. Incorrect cable routing can damage
the training system.

Adjustment
The instructions below describe how each part of the training system can be adjusted. Refer to the exercise
poster accompanying this manual to see how the training system should be set up for each exercise. IMPOR-
TANT: When attaching the lat bar, row bar, ankle strap, or ab strap, make sure that the accessories 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
To change the setting of the weight stack, insert the
Weight Pin (39) under the desired Weight (26). Be sure
to insert the Weight Pin until the ball is touching the
Weights. The setting of the weight stack can be changed
from 10 pounds to 150 pounds, in increments of 10
pounds. Note: Due to the cables and pulleys, the
amount of resistance at each exercise station may
vary from the weight setting. Use the WEIGHT
RESISTANCE CHART on the back cover of this man-
ual to find the approximate amount of resistance at
each weight station.

The Lat Bar (61), Row Bar (70), Ankle Strap (10), and Ab
Strap (75) can be attached to the cable at the desired
pulley station with a Cable Clip (69). For some exercises,
the Chain (67) should be connected between the attach-
ment and the cable with two Cable Clips. Adjust the
length of the Chain between the accessory and the
cable so the accessory is in the correct starting posi-
tion for the exercise to be performed.

Adjusting the Height of the Seat
To adjust the height of the Seat (13), first loosen the indi-
cated Adjustment Knob (9). Pull out the Knob as far as
possible and slide the Seat Upright (37) to the desired
position. Release the Knob so that it snaps into one of
the adjustment holes in the Seat Upright. Fully retighten
the Knob.

Using the Leg Lever Lock
29
Some exercises, such as the preacher curl, can be per-
formed more comfortably with the Leg Lever (29) locked.

Trouble-shooting and Maintenance
Inspect and tighten all parts each time you use the training system. Replace any worn parts immediately. The
training system can be cleaned using a damp cloth and mild non-abrasive detergent. Do not use solvents.
Tightening the Cables
73
Woven cable, the type of cable used on the training sys-
tem, can stretch slightly when it is first used. If there is
Bolt
slack in the cables before resistance is felt, the cables
should be tightened.
68
36
To tighten the cables, first insert the Weight Pin (39)
under the third Weight (26) from the top. Next, loosen
the 1/2Ó Plain Nut (68) securing the bolt at the end of the
High Cable (73). Tighten the bolt two turns into the
Weight Tube (36) until the cables feel tighter. Tighten the
Plain Nut to prevent the bolt from turning.
26
39
Note: For clarity, the drawing shows the shrouds
removed. It is not necessary to remove the shrouds.
Additional slack can be removed by moving the indicated
4Ó Pulleys (35) to different holes in the Pulley Plates (31).
To do this, remove the 3/8Ó x 1 3/4Ó Bolt (60), the Cable
35
31
63
Trap (44), and the 3/8Ó Nylon Jamnut (63) from the
lower Pulley. Move the Pulley to a higher hole and re-
attach it with the Bolt, Cable Trap, and Nylon Jamnut.
Make sure that the Low Cable (72) is in the groove
of the Pulley and that the Cable Trap is turned as
shown. The upper pulley can be adjusted in the
same way.
60
44

72
Slack can also be removed by moving the indicated 4Ó
Pulley (35) to a different hole in the Pulley Bracket (91).
To do this, remove the 3/8Ó x 1 3/4Ó Bolt (60), the Cable
Trap (44), and the 3/8Ó Nylon Jamnut (63) from the
Pulley. Move the Pulley to the lower hole and re-attach
it with the Bolt, Cable Trap, and Nylon Jamnut. Make
sure that the High Cable (73) is in the groove of the
Pulley and that the Cable Trap is turned as shown.
91
73
63
Note: If a cable tends to slip off the pulleys, the
cable may have become twisted. Remove the cable
and re-install it.
