IMPORTANT PRECAUTIONS  
WARNING:To reduce the risk of serious injury, read the following important precautions before using  
the home gym system.  
1. Read all instructions in this manual and in  
the accompanying literature before using the  
home gym system.  
8. Keep hands and feet away from moving  
parts.  
9. Always wear athletic shoes for foot protection.  
2. It is the responsibility of the owner to ensure  
that all users of the home gym system are  
adequately informed of all precautions.  
10. Always stand on the foot plate when perform-  
ing an exercise that could cause the home  
gym system to tip.  
3. If you feel pain or dizziness at any time while  
exercising, stop immediately and begin cool-  
ing down.  
11. Never release the press arm, butterfly arms,  
leg lever, lat bar, or nylon strap while weights  
are raised. The weights will fall with great  
force.  
4. Use the home gym system only on a level  
surface. Place a mat beneath the home gym  
system to protect the floor or carpet.  
12. Make sure that the cables remain on the pul-  
leys at all times. If the cables bind while you  
are exercising, stop immediately and make  
sure that the cables are on all of the pulleys.  
5. Inspect and tighten all parts often. Replace  
any worn parts immediately.  
6. The home gym system is designed to be  
used by only one person at a time.  
13. Always disconnect the lat bar from the home  
gym system when performing an exercise  
that does not use the lat bar.  
7. Keep small children and pets away from the  
home gym system at all times.  
WARNING: Before beginning this or any exercise program, consult your physician. This is especially  
important for persons over the age of 35 or persons with pre-existing health problems. Read all

ASSEMBLY  
Before beginning assembly, carefully read the  
following information and instructions:  
For help identifying the small parts used in  
assembly, use the PART IDENTIFICATION  
CHART located at the center of this manual.  
Assembly requires two people. Due to the size  
and weight of the SYSTEM 200, it should be  
assembled in the location were it will be used.  
Tighten all parts as you assemble them, unless  
instructed to do otherwise.  
Place all parts of the SYSTEM 200 in a cleared  
area and remove the packing materials; do not  
dispose of the packing materials until assembly is  
completed.  
THE FOLLOWING TOOLS (NOT INCLUDED) ARE  
REQUIRED FOR ASSEMBLY:  
• Two (2) adjustable wrenches  
• One (1) standard screwdriver  
• One (1) phillips screwdriver  
• One (1) rubber mallet  
• The assembly is divided into five stages: 1) frame  
assembly, 2) press and butterfly arm assembly,  
3) cable and pulley assembly, 4) seat and back-  
rest assembly, and 5) VKR assembly. The hard-  
ware for each stage is packaged separately.  
• Lubricant, such as grease or petroleum jelly,  
and soapy water will also be needed.  
• Wait until you begin each assembly stage to open  
that parts bag.  
Assembly will be more convenient if you have the  
following tools: A socket set, a set of open-end or  
closed-end wrenches, or a set of ratchet wrenches.  
As you assemble the SYSTEM 200, be sure that  
all parts are oriented as shown in the drawings.

ADJUSTMENT, beginning on page 18 of this manual.  
Before using the home gym system, pull each cable a few times to be sure that the cables move smoothly  
over the pulleys. If one of the cables does not move smoothly, find and correct the problem. IMPORTANT: If  
the cables are not properly installed, they may be damaged when heavy weight is used. See the  
CABLE DIAGRAM on page 22 of this manual for proper cable routing. If there is any slack in the  
cables, you will need to remove it by tightening the cables. See TROUBLE-SHOOTING AND MAINTE-  
NANCE on page 21.

ADJUSTMENT  
The instructions below describe how each part of the home gym system can be adjusted. Refer to the exercise  
guide accompanying this manual to see how the home gym system should be set up for each exercise. IMPOR-  
TANT: When attaching the lat bar or nylon strap, make sure that the attachments are in the correct start-  
ing position for the exercise to be performed. If there is any slack in the cables or chain as an exercise is  
performed, the effectiveness of the exercise will be reduced.  
CHANGING THE WEIGHT SETTING  
To change the weight setting of the weight stack,  
insert the Weight Pin (26) under the desired Weight  
(25). Be sure to insert the Weight Pin until the bent  
end of the Weight Pin is touching the Weights, and  
turn the bent end downward. The weight setting of the  
weight stack can be changed from 6.5 pounds to  
106.5 pounds, in increments of 12.5 pounds. Note:  
Due to the cables and pulleys, the actual amount  
of resistance at each exercise station may vary  
from the weight setting. Use the WEIGHT  
RESISTANCE CHART on page 20 to find the  
approximate amount of resistance at each weight  
station.

ATTACHING THE LAT BAR OR NYLON STRAP TO  
THE HIGH PULLEY STATION  
Attach the Lat Bar (54) to the Long Cable (23) with a  
53  
Cable Clip (53). For some exercises, the Chain (52)  
should be attached between the Lat Bar and the Long  
Cable with two Cable Clips. Adjust the length of the  
Chain between the Lat Bar and the Long Cable so  
the Lat Bar is in the correct starting position for  
the exercise to be performed.

frame must be attached (see ATTACHING AND  
REMOVING THE CURL FRAME above).  
29  
Keyhole  
Remove the Curl Bar (86) from the keyhole in the Leg  
Lever (29). Hold the Curl Bar as described for the  
exercise you are about to perform. Be sure that the  
Short Cable (35) remains in the groove on the  
underside of the Leg Lever while you are using  
the Curl Bar.  
86  
It may be necessary to adjust the Short Cable (35) in  
order to perform certain exercises. To do so, see  
ADJUSTING THE SHORT CABLE on page 20.

TROUBLE-SHOOTING AND MAINTENANCE  
Inspect and tighten all parts each time you use the home gym system. Replace any worn parts immediately. The  
home gym system can be cleaned using a damp cloth and mild non-abrasive detergent. Do not use solvents.  
TIGHTENING THE CABLES  
1
23  
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. Slack can be removed  
from the cables by tightening the 1/4” Nylon Locknuts  
(2) at the end of the Long Cable (23) (see drawing 1)  
and at the end of the Short Cable (58) (see drawing  
2). To do this you may need to remove the Small “U” -  
Bracket (67) from the Weight Tube (63) or remove the  
3 1/2” Pulley (15) from the Long “U”-Bracket (57).  
Make sure that the cables are not too tight, or the Top  
Weight (76) will be lifted off the weight stack.  
67  
2
76  
Additional slack can be removed by moving the 3 1/2”  
Pulley (15) to the other hole in the Long “U”-Bracket  
(57). Remove the 3/8” Nylon Locknut (21) and the  
3/8” x 2” Bolt (12) from the Cable Trap (66), Pulley,  
and Long “U”-Bracket. Re-attach the Pulley and Cable  
Trap. Be sure that the Cable trap is in the proper  
position and that the Cable and Pulley move  
smoothly.

CABLE DIAGRAM  
The diagram below shows the proper routing of the Short Cable (35), the Medium Cable (58), and the Long  
Cable (23). Use the diagram to be sure that the cables and the cable traps have been assembled correctly. If the  
cables have not been correctly routed, the home gym system will not function properly and damage may occur.  
The inset drawings show the proper positioning of the cable traps. The cable traps should be positioned so that  
the cables will not come off the pulleys. Be sure that the cable traps do not touch or bind the cables.
