TURNING ON THE POWER AND RESETTING THE SYSTEM
Press the on/off button. IMPORTANT: Each time the power is turned on, the system must be
reset before the weight can be changed. The weight display will read "E--." To reset the
system, press the weight increase or decrease buttons until the display reads "H250"
(maximum weight) or "L30" (minimum weight).
CHANGING THE WEIGHT SETTING OF THE SYSTEM
The weight can be changed from a minimum of 30 Ibs, to a maximum of 250 Ibs, in increments of 1
pound. To increase the weight, press the weight increase button. To decrease the weight, press the
weight decrease button. The buttons can be held down to change the weight quickly. IMPORTANT:
To prevent damage to the system, do not put any pressure on the system while changing the
weight. Do not push on the press arm or leg lever. If the lat bar is attached to the system, it
may be helpful to support the weight of the lat bar with one hand. The system motor will emit a
sound to alert you while the weight is being changed. 5

connector links. (See fig. 1)
ATTACHING THE LAT BAR TO THE WEIGHT SYSTEM
To attach the lat bar directly to the lower cable, first disconnect
the cable extension from the leg lift. Remove the seat support
from the frame as described above. Attach the lat bar to the
cable extension using a connector link. (See fig. 2)
To use the lat bar with the middle or upper cable, the chain
must be attached between the lat bar and the cable using the
two connector links. The chain can be shortened by attaching
the connector links closer together along the chain. IMPOR-
TANT: The proper length of chain between the lat bar and
the upper cable should be determined by the exercise to
be performed. Adjust the length of chain until the lat bar
is in a comfortable starting position. (See fig. 3, 4)

ATTACHING THE ROWER BAR TO THE WEIGHT SYSTEM
The rower bar should be attached to the weight system in the same manner as the lat bar. See
ATTACHING THE I_AT BAR TO THE WEIGHT SYSTEM above. (See fig. 2-4)

the abdominal strap to the middle cable with a connector link.
ATTACHING THE ANKLE STRAP
The ankle strap is designed to be used with the lower pulley.
Remove any attachments from the lower pulley. The cable
extension can be attached between the ankle strap and the
lower cable with two connector links. The ankle strap can also
be attached directly to the lower cable with a single connector
link.
MAINTENANCE AND TROUBLE-SHOOTING
_tnspect and tighten all parts each time the system is used. Replace any worn parts immediately. The
outside of the system can be cleaned using a damp cloth and mild, non-abrasive detergent. Do not
use solvents.
ADJUSTING THE WEIGHT SYSTEM
If there is slack in the weight system before the weight
engages, the cables may need to be adjusted. To adjust the
cables, aphillips screwdriver and two adjustable wrenches
(not included) are required. Remove the screws from the right
side shield, and carefully move the side shield out of the way.
(See fig. 1.) Locate the two pulleys connected by two I-
brackets. The I-brackets have a selection of ten holes which
tighten the cables in small increments. Remove the upper
pulley from the two I-brackets using two adjustable wrenches.
Move the pulley to the next lower hole in the I-brackets.
(Figure 2 shows the order the top pulley should move down to
tighten the weight system.) Reattach the upper pulley to the I-
brackets in the new position. Test the weight system before
reattaching the side shield. If the motor stalls or hesitates, the
cable is too tight. Move the pulley back to the previous hole.
If there is still slack in the weight system, move the cable to
the next lower hole as described above. If the cable is
attached to the lowest hole in the I-brackets and there is still
slack in the weight system, the cables should be replaced
(refer to the back cover). Re-attach the side shield.

LUBRICATING THE BU'I-I'ERFLY ARMS AND PRESS ARM
The butterfly armsand press arm should be lubricated every six months with a petroleum-based
grease. To lubricate the butterfly arms, remove the hairpin cotter pins and slide the butterfly arms off of
the frame. Grease the bushings in the butterfly arms. Re-attach the butterfly arms with the hairpin
cotter pins.
To lubricate the press arm, an adjustable wrench is required. Remove the bolt, Iockwasher and washer
from the lower end of the moment arm. While supporting the press arm, remove the press arm axle.
Liberally grease the axle. Re-attach the press arm to the moment arm as described in assembly step
5. (See page 5)
EXERCISE GUIDELINES
8
WARNING: Before beginning any exercise program, consult with your physician. This is espe-
cially Important for individuals over the age of 35 or persons with pre-existing health problems.
WEIGHT TRAINING
This system offers a full selection of weight training exercises. Follow the guidelines below to outline
an exercise program to achieve the specific results you want. Your exercise program should include
three, 30-minute workouts each week, with at least one day of rest between workouts. Each workout
should include 6-10 different exercises. Select exercises for all major muscle groups, with emphasis
on the areas you want to develop most. To give variety and balance to your workouts, vary the
exercises from day to day.
To increase the size and strength of muscles, the muscles must be worked to capacity. Each exercise
should be tailored to the proper intensity level by changing the amount of weight used, or the number
of "repetitions" and "sets" performed. (A "repetition" is a single exercise movement, such as one sit-up.
A "set" is a number of repetitions performed continuously.)
Be careful not to overexert yourself. Begin and end every workout with 5-10 minutes of stretching or
light calisthenics. Rest for 30 seconds after each set, and 1 minute after each exercise. Concentrate
on learning the exercises correctly. Exhale as you exert yourself, and inhale as you relax. Never hold
your breath. Schedule your workouts for the time of day when your energy level is highest.
Wear clothing that is loose-fitting and allows unrestricted movement. Always wear shoes for foot
protection. For added motivation, keep a record of your workouts. List the dates, exercises performed,
weight used, and number of repetitions and sets completed. Record key body measurements every 4-
6 weeks. For successful results, proper nutrition and.adequate rest are also essential. For more
information about exercise and diet, consult with your physician.

CARDIOVASCULARCONDITIONING
Theleglever,latbarandpressbar can be used for an excellent cardiovascular workout. Set the
....-weight at the lowest setting and do as many repetitions and sets as desired. For an effective cardio-
,iascular workout, your heart rate should be kept at a level between 70% and 85% of your maximum
heart rate. This is your "training zone." You can find your training zone by consulting the table below.
Training zones are listed for both unconditioned and conditioned persons, ages 20 to 85 years.

During the first few weeks of exercise, keep your heart rate near
the low end of your training zone. To measure your heart rate, stop
exercising and place two fingers over your wrist as shown.
Carefully take a six-second heartbeat count. Multiply the result by
10 to find you heart rate. For example, if your six-second heartbeat
count is 14, your heart rate is 140 beats per minute. (A six-second
count is used because your heart rate will drop rapidly after you
stop exercising.) Compare your heart rate to your training zone. If
your heart rate is below your training zone, increase the intensity of
your exercise. If your heart rate is too high, decrease the intensity.
Begin and end every workout with 5-10 minutes of stretching or light calisthenics. Exercise with your
heart rate in your training zone for about 30 minutes. It makes no difference whether this is done in
one continuous 30-minute period, or in a few shorter periods, such as three t0-minute periods. To
maintain or improve your condition, exercise three times per week, with at least one day of rest
between workouts. After a few months, the number of workouts can be increased to 4-5 per week.
