33. Make sure that all parts are properly tightened. The use of all remaining parts will be explained in ADJUST-
MENT, beginning on page 15 of this manual. Before using the weight 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,
locate and correct the problem before using the weight system. IMPORTANT: If the cables are not proper-
ly routed, they may be damaged when heavy weight is used See the CABLE DIAGRAM on page 19
of this manual

ADJUSTMENT
The instructions below describe how each part of the weight system can be adjusted. IMPORTANT: When
attaching the lat bar or nylon strap, make sure that the attachments are in the correct starting position
for the exercise to be performed If there is any slack in the cable or chain as an exercise is performed,
the effectiveness of the exercise will be reduced
CHANGING THE WEIGHT SETTING
To change the weight setting, insert the Weight Pin
(26) under one of the Weights (25). Make sure to
insert the Weight Pin until the bent end of the Weight
Pin is touching the Weights, and turn the bent end
downward. The weight setting can be changed from
12.5 pounds to 125 pounds, in increments of 12.5
pounds. Note: Due to the cables and pulleys, the
actual amount of resistance at each exercise sta-
tion will vary from the weight setting Refer to the
Weight Resistance Chart on page 17 to find the
actual amount of resistance at each station
Note: 1 kg = 2,2 pounds
SWITCHING THE ARMS TO THE PRESS MODE OR
THE BUTTERFLY MODE
To perform the BENCH PRESS exercise, switch the
Arms ( 6) to the press mode by inserting the two
1/2” “L” Pins (60) down through the indicated holes
in the Arm Frame (52) and the Arms.
To perform the BUTTERFLY exercise, switch the
Arms ( 6) to the butterfly mode by inserting one of
the 1/2” “L” Pins (60) down through the hole in the
centre of the Arm Frame (52) and the Stop Bracket
(63). Set the other “L” Pin aside.
ATTACHING AND REMOVING THE SEAT
Set the bracket on the Seat Frame (36) onto the indi-
cated pins on the Front Upright ( 2). Attach the Seat
Frame to the Front Upright with the 5/16” x 2 3/ ”
Carriage Bolt (1 ) and Seat Knob ( 0).
For some exercises, the Seat (13) must be removed.
First, make sure that the chain is not attached to the
leg lever. Next, remove the Seat Knob ( 0) and 5/16”
x 2 3/ ” Carriage Bolt (1 ) from the Seat Frame (36).
Lift the Seat Frame off the Front Upright ( 2).

ATTACHING THE LEG LEVER TO THE LOW
PULLEY STATION
To use the Leg Lever (29), the seat must be attached
to the front upright (see ATTACHING AND REMOV-
ING THE SEAT on page 15).
Attach the Chain (8 ) between the 5/16” x 2” Eyebolt
(62) on the Leg Lever (29) and the Short Cable (23)
with two Cable Clips (83).
ATTACHING THE LAT BAR OR NYLON STRAP TO
THE HIGH PULLEY STATION
Attach the Lat Bar (85) to the Long Cable (66) with a
Cable Clip (83). For some exercises, the Chain (8 )
and/or Nylon Rope (76) should be attached between
the Lat Bar and the Long Cable with two Cable Clips.
If the Chain is used, adjust the length of the Chain
between the Lat Bar and the Long Cable so the
Lat Bar is in the correct starting position for the
exercise to be performed
The Nylon Strap (39) can be attached in the same way.
ATTACHING THE LAT BAR OR NYLON STRAP TO
THE LOW PULLEY STATION
Attach the Lat Bar (85) to the Short Cable (23) with a
Cable Clip (83). For some exercises, the Chain (8 )
and/or Nylon Rope (76) should be attached between
the Lat Bar and the Short Cable with two Cable Clips.
If the Chain is used, adjust the length of the Chain
between the Lat Bar and the Short Cable so the
Lat Bar is in the correct starting position for the
exercise to be performed
The Nylon Strap (39) can be attached in the same way.
CHANGING THE STEPPING RESISTANCE
To change the stepping resistance, first lift the Right
and Left Pedals (89, 90) off the hooks at the lower
ends of the Resistance Cylinders (91). Move the
hooks to different slots under the Pedals. Make sure
that the hooks are fully inserted into the slots in
the same position under both Pedals The farther
the hooks are moved from the Rear Upright (82), the
greater the resistance will be. CAUTION: The
Resistance Cylinders become very hot during use
Allow the Resistance Cylinders to cool before
touching them

The actual resistance at each weight station may vary due to differences in individual weight plates, as well as
friction between the cables, pulleys, and weight guides.

TROUBLE-SHOOTING AND MAINTENANCE
Inspect and tighten all parts each time you use the weight system. Replace any worn parts immediately. The
weight system can be cleaned using a damp cloth and mild non-abrasive detergent. Do not use solvents.
TIGHTENING THE CABLES
Woven cable, the type of cable used on the weight
system, can stretch slightly when it is first used. If
there is slack in the cables before resistance is felt,
the cables should be tightened. Locate the adjust-
ment sleeve and adjustment screw near the lower
end of the Short Cable (23). Loosen the adjustment
screw. Pull the end of the Short Cable until there is no
slack. Slide the adjustment sleeve and the ball against
the indicated 3 1/2” Pulley (15). Retighten the adjust-
ment screw. Make sure that the cables are not too
tight, or the top weight will be lifted off the weight
stack.
Additional slack can be removed by locating the indi-
cated 5/16” Nylon Locknut (3) near the upper end of
the Front Upright ( 2). To tighten the cables, hold the
5/16” x 3 1/ ” Bolt (35) and turn the Nylon Locknut
clockwise.
Note: Inspect all cables before each use If a cable tends to slip off the pulleys often, the cable may have
become twisted Remove the cable and re-install it
If the cables need to be replaced, see ORDERING REPLACEMENT PARTS on the back cover of this manual.
Replace all cables every two years
