Tighten all parts as you assemble them, unless  
instructed to do otherwise.  
THE FOLLOWING TOOLS (NOT INCLUDED) ARE  
REQUIRED FOR ASSEMBLY:  
• The assembly is divided into four stages: 1)  
frame assembly, 2) press and butterfly arm  
assembly, 3) cable and pulley assembly, and 4)

each stage is packaged separately.  
• Two (2) adjustable wrenches  
• One (1) standard screwdriver  
• One (1) phillips screwdriver  
• One (1) rubber mallet

Make sure that all parts have been properly  
tightened. The use of the remaining parts will  
be explained in ADJUSTMENT, beginning on  
page 16 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 cor-  
rect 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 19 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 18.

ADJUSTMENT  
The instructions below describe how each part of the home gym system can be adjusted. Refer to the exercise  
poster accompanying this manual to see how the home gym system should be set up for each exercise.  
IMPORTANT: When attaching the lat bar or nylon strap, make sure that the attachments are in the cor-  
rect starting 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 a 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 amount of  
resistance at each exercise station may vary from  
the weight setting. Use the WEIGHT RESISTANCE  
CHART on page 17 to find the approximate  
amount of resistance at each weight station.  
25  
26  
ATTACHING THE LAT BAR OR NYLON STRAP TO  
THE HIGH PULLEY STATION  
Attach the Lat Bar (54) to the Long Cable (23) with a  
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.  
53  
23  
52  
54  
The Nylon Strap (39) can be attached in the same  
manner.

ATTACHING THE LAT BAR OR NYLON STRAP TO  
THE LOW PULLEY STATION  
58  
Attach the Lat Bar (54) to the Short Cable (58) with a  
Cable Clip (53). For some exercises, the Chain (52)  
should be attached between the Lat Bar and the  
Pulley Cable with two Cable Clips. Adjust the length  
of the Chain between the Lat Bar and the Short  
Cable so the Lat Bar is in the correct starting  
position for the exercise to be performed.  
53  
52  
54  
The Nylon Strap (39) can be attached in the same  
manner.  
Always remove the leg press plate and lock the  
leg lever before using the low pulley station (see  
ADJUSTING AND REMOVING THE LEG PRESS  
PLATE AND ADJUSTMENT TUBE and LOCKING  
THE LEG LEVER on page 17).

To adjust the position of the Leg Press Plate (78),  
remove the “L”-Pin (40) from the Press Adjustment  
Tube (79) and the Rocker Arm (32). Align a different  
set of holes in the Press Adjustment Tube with the set  
of holes in the Rocker Arm. Re-insert the “L”-Pin.  
40  
For some exercises, the Press Adjustment Tube (79)  
must be removed. Remove the “L”-Pin (40). Lift the  
Press Adjustment Tube off the bracket on the Rocker  
Arm (32).  
LOCKING THE LEG LEVER  
When the low pulley station is in use, the Leg Lever  
(29) must be locked in place. Insert the “L”-Pin (40)  
through the hole in the Leg Lever and the hole in the  
Rocker Arm (32).

WEIGHT RESISTANCE CHART  
This chart shows the approximate weight resistance at each station. “Top” refers to the 6.5 lb. top weight. The  
other numbers refer to the 12.5 lb. weight plates. Weight resistance shown for the butterfly arm station is for  
each butterfly arm.

The actual resistance at each weight station may vary due to differences in individual weight plates, as well as  
friction between the cables, pulleys, and weight guides.

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
Woven cable, the type of cable used on the home  
gym system, can stretch slightly when it is first used.  
23  
If there is slack in the cables before resistance is felt,  
the cables should be tightened. Slack can be  
67  
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 (not  
76  
shown) 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.  
2
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 “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.

23  
15

Note: If a cable tends to slip off the pulleys often,  
the cable may have become twisted. Remove the  
cable and re-install it.

REPLACEMENT PARTS on the back cover of this  
manual.

CABLE DIAGRAM  
The cable diagram below shows the proper routing of the Short Cable (58) and the Long Cable (23). Use the  
diagram to be sure that the two 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 numbers  
show the correct route for each cable. The starting and ending points of each cable are labeled. Be sure that  
the cable traps do not touch or bind the cables.
