Assembly Note: This introduction will save you more time than it takes to read it. Identifying Parts To help you identify the small parts used in assembly, we have included a PART IDENTIFICATION CHART in the centre of this manual. Place the chart on the floor and use it to easily identify parts. Note: Some small parts may have been pre-attached for shipping. If a part is not in the parts bag, check to see if it has been pre-attached.

Adjustment The instructions below describe how each part of the weight system can be adjusted. Refer to the exercise poster accompanying this manual to see how the weight system should be set up for each exercise. IMPORTANT: When attaching the lat bar, make sure it is in the correct starting position for the exercise to be performed. If there is any slack in the cables as an exercise is performed, the effectiveness of the exercise will be reduced.
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 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.
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. 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.
