ADJUSTMENTS This section explains how to adjust the resistance system. See the EXERCISE GUIDELINES on page 17 for important information about how to get the most benefit from your exercise program. Also, see the accompanying exercise guide to see the correct form for each exercise. Make sure all parts are properly tightened each time the resistance system is used. Replace worn parts immediately. The resistance system can be cleaned with a damp cloth and a mild, non-abrasive detergent. Do not use solvents.
ATTACHING THE ACCESSORIES 33 To attach a Handle (49) to a high pulley, first attach the high pulley to the resistance system (see ATTACHING THE HIGH PULLEYS AND LEG LEVER on page 13). Then, attach the Handle to the Short Cable (33) with a Cable Clip (51). 51 49 The Ankle Strap (not shown) can be attached to the Long Cable (80) with Cable Clips (51). Attach the Leg Press Strap (not shown) to both ends of the Long Cable, or the Lat Bar (not shown) to the Short Cables (33), with two Cable Clips.
ADJUSTING THE BACKREST Rod The Backrest (14) can be used in a level position or one of three inclined positions. To use the Backrest in a level position, secure the Seat Carriage (12) to the adjustment hole in the Bench Rail (5) next to the Front Leg (6) (see ADJUSTING THE SEAT on page 13). 3 15 Slot 14 12 13 To use the Backrest (14) in an inclined position, secure the Seat Carriage (12) to one of the other three adjustment holes in the Bench Rail (5). Rest the Backrest against the Upright (3).
CABLE DIAGRAM The cable diagram shows the proper routing of the Long Cable (80). Use the diagram to make sure that the Cable has been assembled correctly. If the Cable has not been correctly routed, the resistance system will not function properly and damage may occur. The numbers show the correct route for the Cable.
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.
slowly as you stretch and do not bounce. Ease into each stretch gradually and go only as far as you can without strain. Stretching at the end of each workout is an effective way to increase flexibility. Rest for a short period of time after each set. The ideal resting periods are: • Rest for three minutes after each set for a muscle building workout. • Rest for one minute after each set for a toning workout. • Rest for 30 seconds after each set for a weight loss workout.
