HOW TO USE THE HOME GYM SYSTEM
The instructions below describe how each part of the home gym system can be adjusted. IMPORTANT: When
attaching the lat bar or nylon stra , make sure that the attachments are in the correct starting osition
for the exercise to be erformed. If there is any slack in the cables or chain as an exercise is erformed,
the effectiveness of the exercise will be reduced.

CHANGING THE WEIGHT SETTING
The WEIDE 8530 features two weight stacks. The
front weight stack is connected to the upper and
lower pulleys, the press arm, and the butterfly arms.
The rear weight stack is connected to the squat arm.
To change the weight setting of either weight stack,
insert a Weight Pin (26) under the desired Weight
(25). 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 of either weight
stack can be changed from 6,5 pounds to 106,5
pounds, in increments of 12,5 pounds. Note: Due to
the cables and ulleys, the actual amount of
resistance at each exercise station may vary from
the weight setting. Use the WEIGHT RESISTANCE
CHART on age 17 to find the actual amount of
resistance at each weight station.
Note: 1 kg = 2,2 lbs
ATTACHING THE LAT BAR OR NYLON STRAP TO
THE HIGH PULLEY STATION
Attach the Lat Bar (54) to the Medium Cable (58) with
a Cable Clip (53). For some exercises, the Chain (52)
should be attached between the Lat Bar and the
Medium Cable with two Cable Clips. Adjust the
length of the Chain between the Lat Bar and the
Medium Cable so the Lat Bar is in the correct
starting osition for the exercise to be erformed.
The Nylon Strap (39) can be attached in the same
manner.

Decal
34. Apply the 8530 decal to the Front Upright (42) in the
indicated location. The top of the decal should be 6”
from the top of the Front Upright.

ATTACHING AND REMOVING THE SEAT
To attach the Seat (13), set the bracket on the Seat
Frame (36) onto the indicated 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 EMOV-
ING THE SEAT above.)
Attach one end of the Chain (52) to the Short Cable
(23) with a Cable Clip (53). Attach the other end of
the Chain to the Eyebolt (35) with a Cable Clip.
LOCKING THE WEIGHT STACK
When the home gym system is not in use, the Lock
Pins (97) and Locks (98) should be attached. Insert
one of the Lock Pins through one of the Long Weight
Guides (62). Attach one of the Locks to the Lock Pin.
Attach the remaining Lock Pin (97) and Lock (98) to
one of the Short Weight Guides (not shown) in the
same manner.

should be attached between the Lat Bar and the
Short 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
osition for the exercise to be erformed.
The Nylon Strap (39) can be attached in the same
manner.

WEIGHT RESISTANCE CHART
This chart shows the approximate weight resistance at each station. “Top” refers to the 6,5 lbs. top weight. The
other numbers refer to the 12,5 lbs. weight plates. The butterfly arm resistance listed is the resistance 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.

TROUBLE-SHOOTING AND MAINTENANCE
Inspect and tighten all parts each time you use the home gym system. eplace any worn parts immediately. The
home gym 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 home gym 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.
Tightening the Medium and Short Cables
If any slack is felt when using the front weight stack, both
the Medium Cable (58) and the Short Cable (23) will need
to be tightened. Insert the weight pin into the middle of the
weight stack. Slack can be removed from these cables
three ways:
• See drawing 1. Tighten the 1/4” Nylon Locknut (2) that
connects the end of the Short Cable (23) to the Long
“U”-Bracket (57).
• See drawing 1. Move the 3 1/2” Pulley (15) to the other
hole in the Long “U”-Bracket (57). emove the 3/8”
Nylon Locknut (21) and the 3/8” x 2” Bolt (12) from
Pulley Covers (96), Pulley, and Long “U”-Bracket. e-
attach the Pulley and Pulley Covers. Be sure that the
Pulley Covers are in the proper position and that the
Cable and Pulley move smoothly.
• See drawing 2. Tighten the 1/4” Nylon Locknut (2) that
connects the end of the Medium Cable (58) to the
Small “U”-Bracket (71).
Tightening the Long Cable
If any slack is felt when using the rear weight stack, the
Long Cable (72) will need to be tightened. Insert the weight
pin into the middle of the weight stack. Slack can be
removed from these cables two ways:
• See drawing 2. Tighten the 1/4” Nylon Locknut (2) that
connects the end of the Long Cable (72) to the Small
“U”-Bracket (71).
• See drawing 3. Move the 3 1/2” Pulley to another hole
in the Squat Arm Upright (56). emove the 3/8” Nylon
Locknut (21) and the 3/8” x 5” Bolt (not shown) from the
Pulley Covers (96), and Pulley. e-attach the Pulley
and Pulley Covers. Be sure that the Pulley Covers are
in the proper position and that the Cable and Pulley
move smoothly.
Do not overtighten the cables. The to weight will be
lifted off the weight stack.
Note: Ins ect all cables before each use. If a cable
tends to sli off the ulleys often, the cable may have
become twisted. Remove the cable and re-install it.
If the cables need to be replaced, see O DE ING EPLACEMENT PA TS on the back cover of this manual.
Re lace all cables every two years.

CABLE DIAGRAM
The cable diagram below shows the proper routing of the Long Cable (72), the Medium Cable (58), and the
Short Cable (23). Use the diagram to be sure that the three cables and cable traps have been assembled cor-
rectly. If the cables have not been correctly routed, the home gym system will not function properly and damage
may occur. The insets show the proper positioning of the cable traps. The cable traps should be positioned so
that the cables will not come off the pulleys. Be sure that the cable tra s do not touch or bind the cables.
