ADJUSTMENT
The instructions below describe how each part of the home gym can be adjusted. Refer to the exercise poster
accompanying this manual to see how the home gym should be set up for each exercise. 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 cables or chain as an exercise is performed,
the effectiveness of the exercise will be reduced.

ADDING WEIGHTS TO THE WEIGHT CARRIAGE
To add resistance to your workout, slide an equal
amount of weight (not included) onto each side of the
weight tube on the Weight Carriage (19). Make sure
that the weights are pushed against the stops and
that the amount of weight on each end of the weight
tube is the same. Note: Due to the cables and pul-
leys, the actual amount of resistance at each
exercise station may vary from the amount of
weight used. Use the WEIGHT RESISTANCE
CHART on page 17 to find the actual amount of
resistance at each weight station.
ATTACHING THE LAT BAR OR NYLON STRAP TO
THE HIGH PULLEY STATION
Attach the Lat Bar (54) to the Long Cable (58) with a
Cable Clip (53). For some exercises, the Chain (52)
should be attached between the Lat Bar and the Long
Cable with two Cable Clips. 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 (not shown) can be attached in the
same manner.
ATTACHING THE LAT BAR OR NYLON STRAP TO
THE LOW PULLEY STATION
Attach the Lat Bar (54) to the Short Cable (23) with a
Cable Clip (53). For some exercises, the Chain (52)
should be attached between the Lat Bar and the
Pulley Cable with two Cable Clips. 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 (not shown) can be attached in the
same manner.
WARNING: Do not place more than 125
pounds on the weight carriage.

ATTACHING AND REMOVING THE SEAT
Set the bracket on the Seat Frame (36) onto the indi-
cated pins on the Front Upright (42). Attach the Seat
Frame to the Front Upright with the 5/16” x 2 3/4”
Carriage Bolt (14) and the Seat Knob (40).
For some exercises, the Seat (13) must be removed.
First, be sure that the chain is not attached to the leg
lever. Next, remove the Seat Knob (40) and the 5/16”
x 2 3/4” Carriage Bolt (14) from the Seat Frame (36).
Lift the Seat Frame off the Front Upright (42).
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 above).
Attach one end of the Chain (52) to the Eyebolt (35)
with a Cable Clip. Attach the Chain (52) to the Short
Cable (23) with a Cable Clip (53). Note: Be sure the
Eyebolt is positioned vertically on the Leg Lever.

WEIGHT RESISTANCE CHART
This chart shows the approximate weight resistance at each weight station. The column labeled “WEIGHT ON
WEIGHT CARRIAGE” refers to the amount of weight, in pounds, placed on the weight carriage. The weight
resistance shown for the butterfly arm station is for each butterfly arm. Note: The actual resistance at each
station may vary due to friction between the cables, pulleys, and weight carriage.

TROUBLE-SHOOTING AND MAINTENANCE
Inspect and tighten all parts each time you use the home gym. Replace any worn parts immediately. The home
gym 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 home gym, can stretch slightly when it is first used. If there is slack
in the cables before resistance is felt, the cables should be tightened.
Slack can be removed from the Short Cable (23) by
by tightening the 1/4” Nylon Locknut (2) at the end of
the Cable.
Additional slack can be removed by moving the 3 1/2”
Pulley (15) to the other hole in the Long “U”-Bracket
(57). Remove the 3/8” Nylon Locknut (21) and the
3/8” x 2” Bolt (12) from the Cable Trap (66), the
Pulley, and the “U”-Bracket. Re-attach the Pulley and
the Cable Trap to the other hole in the “U”-Bracket.
Make sure that the Cable Trap is in the proper
position and that the Cable and Pulley move
smoothly.
Note: If a cable tends to slip off the pulleys, the
cable may have become twisted. Remove the
cable and re-install it. If a cable needs to be
replaced, see ORDERING REPLACEMENT PARTS
on the back cover of this manual.

CABLE DIAGRAM
The cable diagram below shows the proper routing of the Short Cable (23) and the Long Cable (58). Use the
diagram to be sure that the two cables and the cable traps have been assembled correctly. If the cables have
not been correctly routed, the home gym will not function properly and damage may occur. The numbers show
the correct route for each cable. The starting and ending points of each cable are labeled. The small drawings
show the correct position of each cable trap. Make sure that the cable traps do not touch or bind the cables.
