ASSEMBLY

Make Assembly Easier

Everything in this manual is designed to ensure that the weight system can be assembled successfully by anyone. Before beginning assembly, make sure to read the information on this page. This brief introduction will save you much more time than it takes to read it.

Assembly Requires Two Persons

For your convenience and safety, assemble the weight system with the help of another person.

Make sure you have the following tools:

• Two adjustable wrenches

• One standard screwdriver

• One Phillips screwdriver

• One rubber mallet

• You will also need grease or petroleum jelly, a small amount of soapy water, and clear tape or masking tape.

Note: 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.

Set Aside Enough Time

Due to the many features of the weight system, the assembly process will require several hours. By setting aside plenty of time and by deciding to make the task enjoyable, assembly will go smoothly.

You may want to assemble the weight system over a couple of evenings.

How to Identify Parts

To help you identify the small parts used in assembly, we have included a PART IDENTIFICATION CHART on pages 5-7 of this manual. Place the chart on the floor and use it to easily identify parts during each assembly step. Note: Some small parts may have been pre-attached. If a part is not in the parts bag, check to see if it has been pre-attached.

Select a Location for the Weight System

Because of its weight and size, the weight system should be assembled in the location where it will be used. Make sure that there is enough room to walk around the weight system as you assemble it.

How to Orient Parts

As you assemble the weight system, make sure all parts are oriented exactly as shown in the drawings.

How to Unpack the Box

To make assembly as easy as possible, we have divided the assembly process into four stages. The parts needed for each stage are found in individual bags. Important: Wait until you begin each stage

to open the parts bag for that stage. Place all parts of the weight system in a cleared area and remove the packing materials. Do not dispose of the packing materials until assembly is completed.

Tightening Parts

Tighten all parts as you assemble them, unless instructed to do otherwise.

Questions?

If you have questions after reading these assembly instructions, please call the phone number on the front cover of this manual.

The Four Stages of the Assembly Process

Frame Assembly—You will begin by assembling the base and the uprights that form the skeleton of the weight system.

Arm Assembly—During this stage you will assemble the arms and the leg lever.

Cable Assembly—During this stage you will attach the cables and pulleys that connect the arms to the weights.

Seat Assembly—During the final stage you will assemble the seats and the backrests.

ADJUSTMENTS, beginning on the following page.

Before using the weight system, pull each cable a few times to make 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 DIAGRAMS on page 28 of this manual for proper cable routing. If there is any slack in the cables, you will need to remove the slack by tightening the cables. See MAINTENANCE on page 29.

24

ADJUSTMENTS

This section explains how to adjust the weight system. Refer to the accompanying exercise guide to see the correct form for each exercise.

Make sure that all parts are properly tightened each time you use the weight system. Replace any worn parts immediately. The weight system can be cleaned with a damp cloth and a mild, non-abrasive detergent. Do not use solvents.

CHANGING THE WEIGHT SETTING

To change the weight setting of the weight stack, insert the Weight Pin (70) under the desired Weight

(19). Make sure to insert the Weight Pin until the bent end of the Weight Pin touches the Weights, and turn the bent end upward. Note: The weight system works best when at least two Weights are used.

CABLE DIAGRAM

The cable diagram shows the proper routing of the cables (49, 50, 51). Use the diagram to make sure that the cable and the cable traps 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.

MAINTENANCE

Make sure all parts are properly tightened each time you use the weight system. Replace any worn parts immediately. The weight system can be cleaned with a damp cloth and a mild, non-abrasive detergent. Do not use solvents.

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. To tighten the cables, first insert the weight pin into the middle of the weight stack. Slack can be removed from these cables several ways:

Remove the M10 Nylon Locknut (77) and the M10 x

50mm Bolt (97) from the Cable Trap (56), the 90mm

Pulley (48), the two Half Guards (55), and the two

Pulley Plates (60). Reattach the Pulley, Cable Trap, and Half Guards to the next closest hole to the center of the Pulley Plates. Make sure that the Cable Trap is oriented to hold the cable in the groove of the

Pulley, that the Half Guards are oriented as shown, and that the Cable and Pulley move smoothly.

Do not overtighten the cables. If the cables are overtightened, the top weight will be lifted off the weight stack. If a cable tends to slip off the pulleys often, it may have become twisted. Remove the cable and

re-install it. If the cables need to be replaced, see the part ordering information on the back cover of this manual.

EXERCISE GUIDELINES

THE FOUR BASIC TYPES OF WORKOUTS PERSONALIZING 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 weight used

• by changing the number of repetitions or sets performed. (A “repetition” is one complete cycle of an exercise, such as one sit-up. A “set” is a series of repetitions.)

Determining the exact length of time for each workout, as well as the number of repetitions or sets completed, is an individual matter. It is important to avoid overexerting yourself during the first few months of your exercise program. You should progress at your own pace and be sensitive to your body’s signals. If you experience pain or dizziness at any time while exercising, stop immediately 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 program.

WARMING UP

The proper amount of weight for each exercise depends upon the individual user. You must gauge your limits and select the amount of weight that is right for you. Begin with 3 sets of 8 repetitions for each exercise you perform. Rest for three minutes after each set. When you can complete 3 sets of 12 repetitions without difficulty, increase the amount of weight.

Begin each workout with 5 to 10 minutes of stretching and light exercise to warm up. Warming up prepares your body for more strenuous exercise by increasing circulation, raising your body temperature and delivering more oxygen to your muscles.

WORKING OUT

Toning

You can tone your muscles by pushing them to a moderate percentage of their capacity. Select a moderate amount of weight and increase the number of repetitions in each set. Complete as many sets of 15 to 20 repetitions as possible without discomfort. Rest for one minute after each set. Work your muscles by completing more sets rather than by using high amounts of weight.

Each workout should include 6 to 10 different exercises. Select exercises for every major muscle group, emphasizing areas that you want to develop most. To give balance and variety to your workouts, vary the exercises from session to session.

Schedule your workouts for the time of day when your 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 weight 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

Cross Training

Cross training is an efficient way to implement a complete and well-balanced fitness program. An example of a balanced program follows:

• 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 exerciser or exercise cycle, on Tuesday and Thursday.

• Rest from both strength training and aerobic exercise for at least one full day each week to give your body time to regenerate.

The combination of strength training and aerobic exercise will reshape and strengthen your body, plus develop your heart and lungs.

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 moving only the appropriate parts of the body.

Exercising in an uncontrolled manner will leave you feeling exhausted. On the exercise guide accompanying this manual you will find photographs showing the correct form for several exercises, and a list of the muscles affected. See the muscle chart on the next page to find the names of the muscles.

The repetitions in each set should be performed smoothly and without pausing. The exertion stage of each repetition should last about half as long as the return stage. Proper breathing is important. Exhale during the exertion stage of each repetition and inhale during the return stroke. Never hold your breath.

Rest for a short period of time after each set. The ideal resting periods follow:

• 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.

Plan to spend the first couple of weeks familiarizing yourself with the equipment and learning the proper form for each exercise.

COOLING DOWN

End each workout with 5 to 10 minutes of stretching.

Include stretches for both your arms and legs. Move 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.

STAYING MOTIVATED

For motivation, keep a record of each workout. The chart on page 32 of this manual can be photocopied and used to schedule and record your workouts. List the date, the exercises performed, the weight 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 achieving the greatest results is to make exercise a regular and enjoyable part of your everyday life.
