ADJUSTMENT This section explains how to adjust the weight system. See the EXERCISE GUIDELINES on page 30 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 several exercises. USING THE WEIGHT RESTS AND THE WEIGHT SPOTTERS Before using a separate barbell (not included), set the Weight Spotters (29) at the lowest point to which you want your barbell to move.
USING THE LOCKING BAR Grip the Locking Bar (114) with both hands. Turn the Locking Bar until the two hooks disengage the slots in the Front Uprights (11). Raise or lower the Locking Bar to a new position and turn it until the hooks engage slots in the Front Uprights.

ATTACHING THE ACCESSORIES TO THE HIGH PULLEY STATION To use the high pulley station, first place the desired weights on the weight carriage (see ADDING WEIGHTS TO THE BARBELL OR THE WEIGHT CARRIAGE on page 26). Next, attach the Lat Bar (58) to the High Cable (81) with a Cable Clip (63). For some exercises, the Chain (3) should be attached between the Lat Bar and the Cable with two Cable Clips.
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 to clean the weight system. 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.
CABLE DIAGRAM The diagram below shows the proper routing of the cables. The numbers in each drawing show the proper routing for that cable. Use the diagram to make sure that the cables, cable traps, and pulley guards are assembled correctly. If the cables, cable traps, and pulley guards 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. 2 6 2 3 4 5 3 7 High Cable (81) Length: 21 ft. 9 in. (6.
EXERCISE GUIDELINES THE FOUR BASIC TYPES OF WORKOUTS PERSONALIZING YOUR EXERCISE PROGRAM 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 stage of each repetition should last about half as long as the return stage. Proper breathing is important. Exhale during the exertion stage 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.
