Before using the home gym, 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.
IMPOR-
TANT: If the cables are not properly routed, 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-SHOOT-
ING AND MAINTENANCE on page 18.

ADJUSTMENT
The instructions below describe how each part of the home gym can be adjusted. Refer to the exercise poster accompanying this manual to see how the home gym should be set up for each exercise. IMPORTANT: When attaching the lat bar or nylon strap, make sure that the attachments are in the correct 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.
ADDING WEIGHTS TO THE WEIGHT CARRIAGE
To add resistance to your workout, slide an equal amount of weight (not included) onto each side of the weight tube on the Weight Carriage (19). Make sure that the weights are pushed against the stops and that the amount of weight on each end of the weight tube is the same. Note: Due to the cables and pulleys, the actual amount of resistance at each exercise station may vary from the amount of weight used. Use the WEIGHT RESISTANCE
CHART on page 17 to find the actual amount of resistance at each weight station.

WEIGHT RESISTANCE CHART
This chart shows the approximate weight resistance at each weight station. The column labeled “WEIGHT ON
WEIGHT CARRIAGE” refers to the amount of weight, in pounds, placed on the weight carriage. The weight resistance shown for the butterfly arm station is for each butterfly arm. Note: The actual resistance at each station may vary due to friction between the cables, pulleys, and weight carriage.

TROUBLE-SHOOTING AND MAINTENANCE
Inspect and tighten all parts each time you use the home gym. Replace any worn parts immediately. The home gym can be cleaned using a damp cloth and mild non-abrasive detergent. Do not use solvents.
TIGHTENING THE CABLES
Woven cable, the type of cable used on the home gym, 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 Short Cable (23) by by tightening the 1/4” Nylon Locknut (2) at the end of the Cable.
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), the
Pulley, and the “U”-Bracket. Re-attach the Pulley and the Cable Trap to the other hole in the “U”-Bracket.
Make sure that the Cable Trap is in the proper position and that the Cable and Pulley move smoothly.
Note: If a cable tends to slip off the pulleys, the cable may have become twisted. Remove the cable and re-install it. If a cable needs to be replaced, see ORDERING REPLACEMENT PARTS on the back cover of this manual.

CABLE DIAGRAM
The cable diagram below shows the proper routing of the Short Cable (23) and the Long Cable (58). 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 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. The small drawings show the correct position of each cable trap. Make sure that the cable traps do not touch or bind the cables.

Frequently asked questions
Do not place more than 125 pounds on the weight carriage.
Find and correct the problem. Improperly routed cables may be damaged when heavy weight is used.
Slide an equal amount of weight onto each side of the weight tube on the Weight Carriage (19). Ensure weights are pushed against the stops and the amount of weight on each end is the same.
