35. Make sure that all parts have been properly tightened. The use of the remaining parts will be explained in
ADJUSTMENT, beginning on page 18.
Before using the weight system, pull each cable a few times to make sure that the cables move smoothly
around 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 21 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 22.

ADJUSTMENT
This section explains how to adjust the weight system. See the EXERCISE GUIDELINES on page 23 for impor-
tant information about how to get the most benefit from your exercise program. Also, refer to the accompanying
exercise guide to see the correct form for each exercise.
Make sure all parts are properly tightened each time the weight system is used. Replace any worn parts immediate-
ly. The weight system can be cleaned with a damp cloth and a mild, non-abrasive detergent. Do not use solvents.
Attach the Lat Bar (35) to the High Cable (55) at the 55
high pulley station with a Cable Clip (37). For some
exercises, the Chain (83) should be attached between 37
the Lat Bar and the Cable with two Cable Clips. Adjust
the length of the Chain between the Lat Bar and
83
the Cable so that the Lat Bar is in the correct start-
ing position for the exercise to be performed.
37
The Lat Bar (35) or the Handle Strap (not shown) can
be attached at either pulley station in the same man-
ner. Always engage the Lock Plate (not shown) before
using the low pulley station (see USING THE LOCK 35
LEVER on page 19).

CABLE DIAGRAM
The diagram below shows the proper routing of the cables. The numbers in each drawing show the proper route
of that cable. Use the diagram to make sure that the cables, cable traps, and guards are assembled correctly. If
the cables are not assembled correctly, the weight system will not function properly and damage may occur.
Make sure that the cable traps do not touch or bind the cables.

MAINTENANCE
Make sure that all parts are properly tightened each time the weight system is used. 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.
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:
53
Loosen the M12 Nut (84) on the High Cable (55).
Tighten the Cable into the Weight Selector (24) until
the slack is removed from the Cable. Then, retighten 55
84
the M12 Nut against the Large Washer (85).
85
24
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
reinstall it. If the cables need to be replaced, see ORDERING REPLACEMENT PARTS on the back cover of
this manual.
