ADJUSTMENTS This section explains how to adjust the weight system. See the EXERCISE GUIDELINES on page 18 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 you use the weight system. Replace worn parts immediately. The weight system can be cleaned with a damp cloth and a mild, non-abrasive detergent. Do not use solvents.
ATTACHING THE ACCESSORIES To use the Lat Bar (19), first attach the high pulleys to the weight system (see ATTACHING THE HIGH PULLEYS on page 14).

Note: Due to the cables and pulleys, the actual amount of resistance at each exercise station will vary from the weight setting.
CABLE DIAGRAM The cable diagram shows the proper routing of the Long Cable (80). Use the diagram to make sure that the cable and the pulley covers have been assembled correctly. If the cable has not been correctly routed, the weight system will not function properly and damage may occur. The numbers show the correct route for the cable. Make sure that the cable traps do not touch or bind the cable.
EXERCISE GUIDELINES THE FOUR BASIC TYPES OF WORKOUTS PERSONALISING 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.
