ASSEMBLY
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.
Before beginning assembly, carefully read the
following information and instructions:
o Assembly requires two persons.
Place all parts in a cleared area and remove the
packing materials. Do not dispose of the packing
materials until assembly is completed.
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.
• Tighten all parts as you assemble them, unless
instructed to do otherwise.
, As you assemble the resistance system, make
sure all parts are oriented as shown in the
drawings.
The included Allen wrenche_ and the fol-
lowing tools (not included) are required for
assembly:
Two adjustable wrenches
One rubber mallet
One standard screwdriver
, One Phillips screwdriver _===_
Lubricant, such as grease or petroleum jelly,
and soapy water.
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.

ADJUSTMENTS, beginning on the following page.
Before using the resistance system, pull the long cable a few times to Make 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 16 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 the resistance system is used. 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.
ATTACHING THE HIGH PULLEYS AND LEG LEVER
To use a high pulley, slide the hook on the High
Pulley Housing (21) onto the Eyebolt (34). Attach the
end of the Short Cable (33) without the ball to the end
of the Long Cable (80) with a Cable Clip (51). Attach
the other high pulley in the same manner.
To use the Leg Lever (not shown), attach the two
ends of the Leg Lever Cable (32) to the ends of the
Long Cable (80) with two Cable Clips (51).
Remove the high pulleys, and detach the Leg Lever
Cable (32), when not in use. Store the ends of the
Leg Lever Cable on the hook under the Bench Rail
(not shown).
ADJUSTING THE SEAT
The Seat (13) can be secured in any of four positions
on the Bench Rail (5). To move the Seat, pull the
Seat Knob (45) out as far as it will go, and slide the
Seat to the desired position. Engage the Seat Knob
into an adjustment hole in the Bench Rail. Note: It
may be necessary to lift up on the Seat in order to
engage the Seat Knob.
To perform row exercises, the leg press strap must be
attached to the long cable (see ATTACHING THE
ACCESSORIES, on page 14), and the Seat Carriage
(12) must be able to roll along the Bench Rail (5).
First, remove the Backrest (14) from the Seat
Carriage (see ADJUSTING THE BACKREST on page
15). Then, pull the Seat Knob (45) out as far as it will
go, and turn the Knob so that the pin rests at the end
of the "L"-shaped slot (see the inset drawing).

ATTACHING THE ACCESSORIES
To attach a Short Handle (49) to a high pulley, first
attach the high pulley to the resistance system (see
ATTACHING THE HIGH PULLEYS AND LEG LEVER
on page 13). Then, attach the Short Handle to the
Short Cable (33) with a Cable Clip (51).
The Long Handles (not shown) and the Ankle Strap
(not shown) can be attached to the Long Cable (80)
with Cable Clips (51). Attach the Leg Press Strap (not
shown) to both ends of the Long Cable, or the optional
lat bar to the Short Cables (33), with two Cable Clips.
Note: A lat bar is an optional accessory for the
resistance system. To purchase a lat bar, call the toll-
free telephone number on the front cover of this manu-
al and ask for model number WEMC0442.
ADJUSTING THE RESISTANCE
To add resistance, hold a "U"-channel on the 10-
pound Center Resistance Bar (44) firmly and push the
end of a resistance bar under it. Repeat with the other
end of the resistance bar. If more resistance is need-
ed, add one resistance bar at a time.
Note: When adding resistance, always start with the
heaviest resistance bar to be used, and finish with the
lightest resistance bar. When removing resistance bar
from the "U"-channels, start with the lightest resist-
ance bar and finish with the heaviest.
Whe°addingresist-
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,
87) must be pushed against the Tray (35). Do
not add or remove resistance bars from the
"U"-channels while an 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.

ADJUSTING THE BACKREST
The Backrest (14) can be used in a level position or
one of three inclined positions. To use the Backrest in
a level position, secure the Seat Carriage (12) to the
adjustment hole in the Bench Rail (5) next to the Front
Leg (6) (see ADJUSTING THE SEAT on page 13).
To use the Backrest (14) in an inclined position,
secure the Seat Frame (12) to one of the other three
adjustment holes in the Bench Rail (5). Rest the
Backrest against the Upright (3).
For row exercises, remove the Backrest (14). Hold
the Backrest vertically over the Seat (13) and lift the
rod out of the slot in the Seat Carriage (12) (see the
inset drawing).
STORING THE RESISTANCE SYSTEM
To store the resistance system, slide the ends of the
Leg Lever Cable (32) onto the hook on the bottom of
the Bench Rail (5). Make sure that the Seat (13) is in
the position closest to the Front Leg (6) (see
ADJUSTING THE SEAT on page 13). Next, remove
the Storage Knob (30) from the Upright (3). Lift the
Front Leg toward the Top Frame (10), and tighten the
Storage Knob into the side of the Upright and the
Bench Rail. Remove all of the resistance bars from
the "U"-channels on the 10-pound Center Resistance
Bar (44) (see ADJUSTING THE RESISTANCE on
page 14). Finally, loosen the Fulcrum Knob (43) and
pull it out as far as it will go. Turn the resistance bar
assembly vertically and engage the Fulcrum Knob
into the fulcrum on the Lat Tower (4). Note: Storing
the resistance bars vertically will prolong the life
of the resistance bars.
To move the resistance system, place the toe of your
shoe on the end of the Base (1) and hold the resist-
ance system in the indicated area. Tilt the resistance
system back onto the Wheels (31) and roll itto the
new location. Be careful not to let the Front Leg (6)
or the Leg Lever (7) pinch your hands when you
tilt the system back.
AWARNING: Ma.esurethata.of
the resistance bars are removed from the "U'-
channeJs before moving the resistance bar
assembly to the stored position.
Make sure that the resistance bar assembly is
in the horizontal position and that the Storage
Knob (30) is in place and fully tightened each
time the resistance system is used.

USINGTHE REMOVABLE RESISTANCE BARS
The Removable Resistance Bars (36, 67) can be used
to exercise apart from the resistance system, as shown
in the video or on the exercise guide. To remove a
Resistance Bar, pull it out of the Tray (35).
To replace the Removable Resistance Bars (36, 67),
slide them into the Tray (35) from the side shown, so
that the arrows on the rings point toward the Tray.
Make sure the rings are pushed against the Tray.

CABLE DIAGRAM
The cable diagram shows the proper routing of the
Long Cable (80). Use the diagram to make sure that
the Cable has been assembled correctly. If the Cable
has not been correctly routed, the resistance system
will not function properly and damage may occur. The
numbers show the correct route for the Cable.

EXERCISE GUiDELiNES
THE FOUR BASIC TYPES OF WORKOUTS
Muscle Building
To increase the size and strength of your muscles,
push them close to their maximum capacity. Your mus-
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.)
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
right for you. Begin with 3 sets of 8 repetitions for each
exercise you perform. Rest for 3 minutes after each
set. When you can complete 3 sets of 12 repetitions
without difficulty, increase the amount of resistance.
Toning
You can tone your muscles by pushing them to a mod-
erate percentage of their capacity. Select a moderate
amount of resistance and increase the number of rep-
etitions in each set. Complete as many sets of 15 to
20 repetitions as possible without discomfort. Rest for
1 minute after each set. Work your muscles by com-
pleting more sets rather than by using high amounts of
resistance.
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.
Cross Training
Cross training is an efficient way to get a complete and
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.
- 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 exer-
cise will reshape and strengthen your body, plus devel-
op your heart and lungs.
PERSONALIZING YOUR EXERCISE PROGRAM
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 overdo-
ing it during the first few months of your exercise pro-
gram. 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 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
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 deliver-
ing more oxygen to your muscles.
WORKING OUT
Each workout should include 6 to 10 different exercis-
es. 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.
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
moving only the appropriate parts of the body.
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 page
18 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.
17
Rest for a short period of time after each set. The
ideal resting periods are:
- Rest for three minutes after each set for a muscle
building workout.
- Rest for one minute after each set for a toning work-
out.
- 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 19 of this manual can be photocopied
and used to schedule and record your workouts. List
the date, the exercises performed, the resistance
used, and the numbers of sets and repetitions com-
pleted. Record your weight and key body measure-
ments 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.
