IMPORTANT PRECAUTIONS  
WARNING:  
To reduce the risk of serious injury, read the following important precautions  
before using the resistance system.  
1. Read all instructions in this manual before  
using the resistance system. Use the resist-  
ance system only as described in this manual.  
13. The resistance system is designed to be  
used with the included resistance, and the  
resistance included with a MAX by WEIDER  
MAX PACK. Do not use the resistance sys-  
tem with any other type of resistance.  
2. It is the responsibility of the owner to ensure  
that all users of the resistance system are  
adequately informed of all precautions.  
14. When adding resistance, both ends of the  
resistance bars must rest under the two “U”-  
channels. Add and remove resistance bars  
from the “U”-channels one resistance bar at  
a time.  
3. The resistance system is intended for home  
use only. Do not use the resistance system in  
any commercial, rental, or institutional setting.  
4. Keep the resistance system indoors, away  
from moisture and dust. Do not put the  
resistance system in a garage or covered  
patio, or near water.  
15. Keep clear of the area around the “U”-chan-  
nels while the resistance system is in use.  
Do not add or remove resistance bars from  
the “U”-channels while the end of the long  
cable is pulled out.  
5. Use the resistance system only on a level  
surface. Cover the floor beneath the resist-  
ance system to protect the floor.  
16. Pull on the low pulley cable only while sitting  
on the bench or standing on the base plate.  
Pull on the high pulley cables only while sit-  
ting on the bench, with the seat in one of the  
three positions closest to the upright base,  
or while standing on the base plate.  
6. Make sure that all parts are properly tight-  
ened each time the resistance system is  
used. Replace any worn parts immediately.  
7. Keep children under 12 and pets away from  
the resistance system at all times.  
17. Make sure the rings on the resistance bars  
are pushed against the tray before using the  
resistance system.  
8. Keep hands and feet away from moving  
parts.  
18. If you purchase the optional lat bar, always  
disconnect it from the short cables when per-  
forming an exercise that does not require it.  
9. Always wear athletic shoes for foot protec-  
tion while exercising.  
19. Make sure the storage knob is in place and  
fully tightened each time the resistance sys-  
tem is used.  
10. The top frame is not designed to be used for  
pull-up exercises. Do not hang on the top  
frame.  
20. Make sure that the cables remain on the pul-  
leys at all times. If the cables bind as you are  
exercising, stop immediately and make sure  
that the cables are on the pulleys. Replace all  
cables at least every two years.  
11. The resistance system is designed to sup-  
port a maximum user weight of 300 pounds.  
12. Always adjust the resistance bar assembly to  
the horizontal position and make sure the  
fulcrum knob is secure before using the  
resistance system.  
21. If you feel pain or dizziness while exercising,  
stop immediately and begin cooling down.  
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.

ASSEMBLY  
Tighten all parts as you assemble them, unless  
instructed to do otherwise.  
Make Things Easier for Yourself  
This manual is designed to ensure that the resist-  
ance system can be assembled successfully by  
most people. However, it is important to realize  
that the versatile resistance system has many  
parts and that the assembly process will take  
time. Most people find that by setting aside plenty  
of time, assembly will go smoothly.  
As you assemble the resistance system, make  
sure all parts are oriented as shown in the draw-  
ings.  
The included Allen wrenches  
and the follow-  
ing tools (not included) are required for assem-  
bly:  
• Two adjustable wrenches  
• One rubber mallet  
Before beginning assembly, carefully read the  
following information and instructions:  
Assembly requires two persons.  
• One standard screwdriver  
Place all parts in a cleared area and remove the  
packing materials. Do not dispose of the packing  
materials until assembly is completed.  
• One Phillips screwdriver  
• Lubricant, such as grease or petroleum jelly,  
and soapy water.  
For help identifying small parts, use the PART  
IDENTIFICATION CHART. Note: Some small  
parts may have been pre-attached for shipping. If  
a part is not in the parts bag, check to see if it  
has been pre-attached.  
Assembly will be more convenient if you have a  
socket set, a set of open-end or closed-end  
wrenches, or a set of ratchet wrenches.

Before using the resistance system, pull the long  
cable a few times to be sure that it moves  
smoothly over the pulleys. If the cable does not  
move smoothly, find and correct the problem.  
IMPORTANT: If the cables are not properly  
installed, they may be damaged when heavy  
resistance is used. See the CABLE DIAGRAM  
on page 17 for proper cable routing.

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, refer to the accompa-  
nying exercise guide to see the correct form for each exercise.  
Make sure all parts are properly tightened each time you use the resistance system. Replace worn parts immedi-  
ately. The resistance system can be cleaned with a damp cloth and a mild, non-abrasive detergent. Do not use  
solvents. The resistance bars can be cleaned with a vinyl and rubber protectant, available at an automotive or  
department store.

ance, make sure that both ends of the resist-  
ance bar rest under the two “U”-channels. The  
rings on the Removable Resistance Bars (36,  
67) must be pushed against the Tray (35). Do  
not add or remove resistance bars from the  
“U”-channels while the end of the Long Cable  
(80) is pulled out.  
Note: The resistance system uses progressive resist-  
ance. As the resistance bars begin to bend, the  
amount of resistance will increase gradually. As the  
resistance bars bend further, the resistance will  
increase rapidly.  
Additional resistance can be added to the resistance  
system by calling toll-free 1-877-992-5999 and asking  
for model number WEMC0642 (100-pound MAX  
PACK) or WEMC0942 (200-pound MAX PACK).

EXERCISE GUIDELINES  
THE FOUR BASIC TYPES OF WORKOUTS

cles will continually adapt and grow as you progres-  
sively 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 per-  
formed. (A “repetition” is one complete cycle of an  
exercise, such as one sit-up. A “set” is a series of  
repetitions.)

sensitive to your body’s signals. If you experience pain  
or dizziness at any time while exercising, stop immedi-  
ately and begin cooling down. Find out what is wrong  
before continuing. Remember that adequate rest and a  
proper diet are important factors in any exercise pro-  
gram.  
WARMING UP  
The proper amount of resistance for each exercise  
depends upon the individual user. You must gauge  
your limits and select the amount of resistance that is  
Begin each workout with 5 to 10 minutes of stretching  
and light exercise to warm up. Warming up prepares

energy level is the highest. Each workout should be  
followed by at least one day of rest. Once you find the  
schedule that is right for you, stick with it.  
Weight Loss  
To lose weight, use a low amount of resistance and  
increase the number of repetitions in each set.  
Exercise for 20 to 30 minutes, resting for a maximum  
of 30 seconds between sets.  
EXERCISE FORM  
Maintaining proper form is an essential part of an  
effective exercise program. This requires moving  
through the full range of motion for each exercise, and  
Cross Training  
Cross training is an efficient way to get a complete and moving only the appropriate parts of the body.  
well-balanced fitness program. An example of a bal-  
anced program is:  
• Plan strength training workouts on Monday,  
Wednesday, and Friday.  
• Plan 20 to 30 minutes of aerobic exercise, such as  
running on a treadmill or riding on an elliptical or  
exercise bike, on Tuesday and Thursday.  
Exercising in an uncontrolled manner will leave you  
feeling exhausted. On the exercise guide accompany-  
ing this manual you will find photographs showing the  
correct form for several exercises, and a list of the  
muscles affected. Refer to the muscle chart on the  
next page to find the names of the muscles.

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 one minute after each set for a toning work-  
out.  
STAYING MOTIVATED  
• Rest for 30 seconds after each set for a weight loss  
workout.  
Plan to spend the first couple of weeks familiarizing  
yourself with the equipment and learning the proper  
form for each exercise.  
For motivation, keep a record of each workout. List the  
date, the exercises performed, the resistance used,  
and the numbers of sets and repetitions completed.  
Record your weight and key body measurements at  
the end of every month. Remember, the key to achiev-  
ing the greatest results is to make exercise a regular  
and enjoyable part of your everyday life.  
COOLING DOWN  
End each workout with 5 to 10 minutes of stretching.  
Include stretches for both your arms and legs. Move
