ADJUSTMENT This section explains how to adjust the weight system. See the EXERCISE GUIDELINES on page 40 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. Make sure that all parts are properly tightened each time the weight system is used. Replace any worn parts immediately.
ATTACHING THE ACCESSORIES Attach the Lat Bar (47) to the High Cable (44) at the high pulley station with a Cable Clip (50). For some exercises, attach the Chain (not shown) between the Lat Bar (47) and the High Cable (44) with two Cable Clips (50).

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. The actual resistance at each station may vary due to differences in individual weights as well as friction between the cables, pulleys, and weight guides. WEIGHT RESISTANCE WITHOUT BURN BAND WEIGHT AB STATION (lbs.
CABLE DIAGRAM The drawings below shows the proper routing of the cables. The numbers in each drawing show the proper route of that cable. Use the drawings to make sure that the cables, cable traps, 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. High Cable (44) Length: 168 in.
MAINTENANCE Make sure that all parts are properly tightened each time the weight system is used. Replace any worn parts immediately. To clean the weight system, use 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.
EXERCISE GUIDELINES FOUR TYPES OF STRENGTH WORKOUTS Note: A “repetition” is one complete cycle of an exercise, such as one sit-up. A “set” is a series of repetitions. Muscle Building—Work your muscles near their maximum capacity and progressively increase the intensity of your exercise. Adjust the intensity level of an individual exercise as follows: • Change the amount of resistance used. • Change the number of repetitions or sets performed.
