IMPORTANT PRECAUTIONS
3
WARNING:To reduce the risk of serious injury, read the following important precau-
tions before using the weight system.
1. Read all instructions in this manual and in
the accompanying literature before using the
weight system. Use the weight system only
as described in this manual.
2. It is the responsibility of the owner to ensure
that all users of this weight system are ade-
quately informed of all warnings and precau-
tions.
3. The weight system is intended for home use
only. Do not use the weight system in any
commercial, rental, or institutional setting.
4. Use the weight system only on a level sur-
face. Cover the floor beneath the weight sys-
tem to protect the floor.
5. Make sure all parts are properly tightened
each time you use the weight system.
Replace any worn parts immediately.
6. Keep children under the age of 12 and pets
away from the weight system at all times.
7. Always stand on a foot plate when perform-
ing an exercise that could cause the weight
system to tip.
8. Always wear athletic shoes for foot protection.
9. Keep hands and feet away from moving
parts. Keep hands away from the squat arm
upright when the squat arm is being used.
Your hand could become pinched between
the squat arm upright and the squat arm.
10. Never release the press arm, butterfly arms,
squat arm, leg lever, lat bar or nylon strap
while weights are raised. The weights will fall
with great force.
11. Do not use the VKR station when either
weight stack is in use.
12. Make sure that the cables remain on the pul-
leys at all times. If the cables bind while you
are exercising, stop immediately and make
sure that the cables are on all of the pulleys.
13. Always disconnect the lat bar from the
weight system when performing an exercise
that does not use the lat bar.
14. If you feel pain or dizziness at any time while
exercising, stop immediately and begin cool-
ing down.

Department toll-free at 1-800-999-3756, Monday
through Friday, 6 a.m. until 6 p.m. Mountain Time
(excluding holidays). To help us assist you, please
note the product model number and serial number
before calling. The model number is WESY85311. The

weight system (see the front cover of this manual).
Before reading further, please review the drawing
below and familiarize yourself with the parts that are
labeled.

5
Make sure you have the following tools:
• Two adjustable wrenches
• One standard screwdriver
• One phillips screwdriver
• One rubber mallet
•You will also need grease or petroleum jelly, a
small amount of soapy water, and clear tape or
masking tape.
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.
How to Identify Parts
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.
How to Orient Parts
As you assemble the weight system, make sure that
all parts are oriented exactly as shown in the draw-
ings.
Tightening Parts
Tighten all parts as you assemble them, unless
instructed to do otherwise.
Questions?
If you have questions after reading the assembly
instructions, please call our Customer Service
Department at 1-800-999-3756.
Assembly Requires Two Persons
For your convenience and safety, assemble the
weight system with the help of another person.
Set Aside Enough Time
Due to the many features of the weight system, the
assembly process will take time. By setting aside
plenty of time and by deciding to make the task
enjoyable, assembly will go smoothly. You may want
to assemble the weight system over a couple of
evenings.
Select a Location for the Weight System
Because of its weight and size, the weight system
should be assembled in the location where it will be
used. Make sure that there is enough room to walk
around the weight system as you assemble it.
How to Unpack the Box
To make assembly as easy as possible, we have
divided the assembly process into five stages. The
parts needed for each stage are found in individual
bags. Important: Wait until you begin each stage
to open the parts bag for that stage. Place all
parts of the weight system in a cleared area and
remove the packing materials. Do not dispose of
the packing materials until assembly is completed.
Make Assembly Easier for Yourself
Everything in this manual is designed to
ensure that the weight system can be assem-
bled successfully by anyone. Before begin-
ning 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.
