The Cable Arms and Cable are preassembled. Inset K1, K11 is there just to show you the internal
components in the unlikely event you have a future internal problem. You need to complete the routing
of the Cable Arms Cable (55) to the rest of the machine.
1. Attach a 115mm Pulley (65) and a Pulley Guard (28) to each side of the top of the Cable Arm Assembly (12)
using one 3/8" X 1-3/4" Hex Bolt (118) and one 3/8" Nylon Nut (137) for each as shown in K3 and K9. These
pulleys are located where the cable exits the rear of the Cable Arm (15). Make sure to run the cable over top
of these pulleys. Tighten the bolt while making sure the Pulley Guard (28) does not rub on the cable.
2. Attach a 115mm Pulley (65) and a Pulley Guard (28) to each side of the bottom of the Cable Arm Assembly
(12) using one 3/8" X 5-3/4" Hex Bolt (111) and one 3/8" Nylon Nut (138) as shown in K4, K8. One bolt for
both pulleys. These pulleys are located at the base of the Cable Arm Assembly (12). Make sure to run the
cable underneath these pulleys. Tighten the bolt while making sure the Pulley Guards (28) do not rub on the
cable.
3. Attach the final pulley for the Cable Arm Cable (55) to the Single Pulley Block (25) dangling from the end of the
Connecting Cable (54). Make sure to run the cable around the pulley. Secure the Cable Guide Plate (29)
(facing upward) to the Single Pulley Block (25) as shown
in inset K6, using one 3/8" X 1-3/4" Hex Bolt (110) and
3/8" Nylon Nut (138). This cable guide is included to
ensure that the Cable Arm Cable (52) does not twist
during use. Slip the Connecting Cable (54), which is
running vertically just behind, into the slot of the cable
Guide Plate (29).

a. The Cables should be tightened to the point just before the Top Plate lifts off the stack. In
other words, if the Top Plate is not resting on the stack, you will need to add length, or, if there
is slack in the cables, you will need to shorten the cables. There are several adjustment
points. If only minor adjustments need to be made, you can adjust the Screw ends on the Top
Cable (at the Top Plate), the Low Cable (where it screws into the Single Pulley Block), or the
Bench Press cable (where it screws into the Single Pulley Block with Stopper). These ends
of these cables must be screwed in at least 1/3 of their length for safety purposes.
Once you are done with these adjustments, lock them into place using the jam nuts.
b. Broader adjustments are made at the Floating Pulley Block (24). Moving the bottom pulley
toward the center decreases length (takes up slack). Conversely, moving the bottom pulley
outward gains cable length.
c. Once the cables have been adjusted to remove all slack, adjust the Adjustable Stoppers (87)
in the Top Frame to where they just touch the Floating Pulley Block (24), and the Single Pulley
with Stopper (87). The Adjustable Stoppers (87) aid in the function of the gym by eliminating
the need to engage all cables in any given exercise routine.

1. Attach the two Shrouds (40) to the Base Frame (1) and Top Guide Rod Retainer (13) using four 5/16" X 1/2" Hex Bolts (120)
and four 5/16" Washers (131) on each.
2. Attach the Poster Plate (39) to the Bench Press Upright (5) using three 5/16" X 5/8" Inner Screws (124) and three 5/16"
Washers (131).
3. Trim the Shrouds (40) and Poster Plate (39) with the provided Plastic Trim (41 & 42). You may need to cut the trim to proper
length.
Now tighten all bolts. First, tighten the bolts at the base of the Rear
Upright, where it attaches to the Rear Stabilizer. Then tighten all
bolts, working your way from the base of the gym to the top of
the gym. Check to ensure all bolts are tight, all cables are
tight and cables are seated into the pulley grooves.

Assembly is complete! Please take the following steps before using the gym:
1.
2.
3.
4.
5.
6.
7.
Make certain all bolts are tightened securely.
Make certain all cables are seated into all pulley grooves. A cable rubbing
against steel will peel the nylon coating, voiding warranty and resulting in a
need for replacement.
Pre-stretch the cables. Put the Magnetic Selector Pin (57) in the bottom hole
on the weight stack. Pull on the cables with great force, helping remove any
kinks and providing any initial cable stretch.
Be aware the cables can loosen and slightly stretch upon initial use.
The cables should be adjusted as tight as possible, but no so tight as to lift
the Top Plate (36) above the weight stack. Be certain to secure the jam nuts
after adjustments are made.
For better performance, apply a household lubricant (such as silicone) to any
adjustable areas and to the Guide Rods (8).
Enjoy many years of a Fit Lifestyle.
