ADJUSTMENT This section explains how to adjust the weight system. See the EXERCISE GUIDELINES on page 23 for important information about how to get the most benefit from your exercise program. Also, refer to the accompanying exercise guide to see the correct form for each exercise. Make sure all parts are properly tightened each time the weight system is used. Replace any worn parts immediately. The weight system can be cleaned with a damp cloth and a mild, non-abrasive detergent. Do not use solvents.
USING THE LOCK LEVER Before using the low pulley station, engage the Leg Lever Pin (38) into the Leg Lever (8) and the Lock Plate (73). 38 8 73 ARM CONVERSION To use the Arms (9, 10) as butterfly arms, insert the Arm Pins (40) into the holes in the Upright (3) and the Pivot Frame (5) as shown. To use the Arms (9, 10) as press arms, insert the Arm Pins (40) into the holes in the Pivot Frame (5) and the Arms.
LOCKING THE WEIGHT STACK Lock the weight stack by inserting the Lock Pin (18) through a Weight Guide (21) and securing the Lock (17) onto the Lock Pin. 21 17 18 WEIGHT RESISTANCE CHART The chart below shows the approximate weight resistance at each exercise station. The numbers in the left column refer to the 12.5-lb. weights. Note: The weight resistance shown for the butterfly arm station is for each arm.
CABLE DIAGRAM The diagram below shows the proper routing of the cables. The numbers in each drawing show the proper route of that cable. Use the diagram to make sure that the cables, cable traps, pulleys, and guards are assembled correctly. If the cables are not assembled correctly, the weight system will not function properly and damage may occur. Make sure that the cable traps do not touch or bind the cables. 4 High Cable (55) Length: 9 ft. 6 in. (290 cm) 2 5 1 6 3 6 Low Cable (53) Length: 10 ft.
MAINTENANCE Make sure that all parts are properly tightened each time the weight system is used. Replace any worn parts immediately. The weight system can be cleaned with a damp cloth and a 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.
EXERCISE GUIDELINES THE FOUR BASIC TYPES OF WORKOUTS Muscle Building To increase the size and strength of your muscles, push them close to their maximum capacity. Your muscles will continually adapt and grow as you progressively increase the intensity of your exercise. You can adjust the intensity level of an individual exercise in two ways: • by changing the amount of resistance used • by changing the number of repetitions or sets performed.
COOLING DOWN The repetitions in each set should be performed smoothly and without pausing. The exertion stroke of each repetition should last about half as long as the return stroke. Proper breathing is important. Exhale during the exertion stroke of each repetition and inhale during the return stroke. Never hold your breath. End each workout with 5 to 10 minutes of stretching. Include stretches for both your arms and legs. Move slowly as you stretch and do not bounce.
