ADJUSTMENTS
The instructions below describe how each part of the weight system can be adjusted. Refer to the exercise
guide accompanying this manual to see how the weight system should be set up for each exercise. IMPOR-
TANT: When attaching the lat bar or nylon strap, make sure that the attachments are in the correct start-
ing 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.

end of the Weight Pin is touching the Weights, and
turn the bent end downward. The weight setting of the
weight stack can be changed from 6.5 pounds to 81.5
pounds, in increments of 12.5 pounds. Note: Due to
the cables and pulleys, the actual amount of
resistance at each exercise station may vary from
the weight setting. Use the WEIGHT RESISTANCE
CHART on page 16 to find the actual amount of
resistance at each weight station.

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 14).
Attach the Short Cable (58) to the indicated 3/8” x 2”
Eyebolt (35) with a Cable Clip (53).
ATTACHING THE PREACHER PAD TO THE SEAT
FRAME
Set the hooks on the bottom of the Preacher Post
(77) around the 5/16” x 2 3/4” Bolt (not shown) in the
Seat Frame (36). Secure the Preacher Post to the
Seat Frame with the Preacher Knob (33).
ATTACHING THE LAT BAR TO THE LEG LEVER
To use the Lat Bar (54) to do curl exercises, attach
the short cable to the leg lever, and the preacher pad
(not shown) to the seat frame (see ATTACHING THE
LEG LEVER TO THE LOW PULLEY STATION and
ATTACHING THE PREACHER PAD TO THE SEAT
FRAME, above).
Attach one end of a Chain (52) to the Lat Bar (54)

This chart shows the approximate weight resistance at each station. “Top” refers to the 6.5 lb. top weight. The
other numbers refer to the 12.5 lb. weight plates. Weight resistance shown for the butterfly arm station is for
each butterfly arm. Note: 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.

TROUBLESHOOTING AND MAINTENANCE
Inspect and tighten all parts each time the weight system is used. 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.
Slack can be removed by moving the 3 1/2” Pulley
(15) to the lower 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), Pulley, and “U”-
bracket. Re-attach the Pulley and Cable Trap. Make
sure that the Cable Trap is positioned to hold the
Cable in place, and that the Cable and Pulley move
smoothly.
Additional slack can be removed from the cables by
tightening the 1/4” Nylon Locknuts (2) at the end of
the Long Cable (23) and at the end of the Short
Cable (58). To do this you may need to remove the
Small “U”-bracket (67) from the Weight Tube (63) or
remove the 3 1/2” Pulley (15) from the Long “U”-
bracket (57). Make sure that the cables are not too
tight, or the Top Weight (76) will be lifted off the
weight stack.
Note: 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.

CABLE DIAGRAM
The cable diagram below shows the proper routing of the Long Cable (23) and the Short Cable (58). Use the
diagram to make sure that the two Cables and the cable traps have been assembled correctly. If the Cables
have not been correctly routed, the weight system will not function properly and damage may occur. The num-
bers show the correct route for each Cable; the starting and ending points of each Cable are labeled. Make
sure that the cable traps do not touch or bind the Cables.
