over Pulley A3 mounted in TOP FRAME (2) using assembled one 3/8" X 2-3/4" HEX HEAD BOLT
(83) as Pulley T7, one 3/8" NYLA-NUT (104), and CABLE RETAINER BRACKET (22).
3. See Fig. A4 Then route the cable under Pulley A4 mounted in a FLOATING PULLEY BLOCK (15)
using one 3/8" X 1-3/4" HEX HEAD BOLT (84) and one 3/8" NYLA-NUT (104).
4. See Fig. A5 Mount a pulley in the open end of the ADJUSTABLE PULLEY BLOCK (13) using one
3/8" X 1-3/4" HEX HEAD BOLT (84) and one 3/8" NYLA-NUT (104).
We recommend the third from bottom hole. This can be adjusted
later if needed. Route the cable over top of this pulley
and then down to cable.
1. See Fig. A1 Run the steel ball end of the AB CRUNCH CABLE (75) through the slot in the FRONT
UPRIGHT (3) and attach two pulleys in the slot as shown in Fig. A1, using two 3/8" X 2-3/4" HEX
HEAD BOLTS (83), four 3/8" WASHERS (100), four 3/8" ID FLANGE BUSHINGS (65), and two
3/8" NYLA-NUTS (104). The cable should run from the bottom of the upper Pulley A1 up to A2.
2. See Fig. A2,A3 Route the cable over the Pulley A2 mounted to the TOP FRAME (2) using one 3/8"
X 1-3/4" HEX HEAD BOLT (84) and one 3/8" NYLA-NUT (104). Continue routing the cable up and
over Pulley A3 mounted in TOP FRAME (2) using assembled one 3/8" X 2-3/4" HEX HEAD BOLT
(83) as Pulley T7, one 3/8" NYLA-NUT (104), and CABLE RETAINER BRACKET (22).
3. See Fig. A4 Then route the cable under Pulley A4 mounted in a FLOATING PULLEY BLOCK (15)
using one 3/8" X 1-3/4" HEX HEAD BOLT (84) and one 3/8" NYLA-NUT (104).
4. See Fig. A5 Mount a pulley in the open end of the ADJUSTABLE PULLEY BLOCK (13) using one
3/8" X 1-3/4" HEX HEAD BOLT (84) and one 3/8" NYLA-NUT (104).

a. The Cables should be tightened to the point just before the Top Plate lifts off the stack. In
other words, if the Top Plate is not resting on the stack, you will need to add length, or, if there
is slack in the cables, you will need to shorten the cables. There are several adjustment
points. If only minor adjustments need to be made, you can adjust the Screw ends on the Top
Cable (at the Top Plate), the Low Cable (where it screws into the Pulley Block), or the Bench
Press Cable (where it screws into the Pulley Block with Stopper). These ends of these
cables must be screwed in at least 1/3 of their length for safety purposes. Once you are
done with these adjustments, lock them into place using the jam nuts.
b. Broader adjustments are made at the Adjustable Pulley Block (13). Moving the bottom pulley
toward the center decreases length (takes up slack). Conversely, moving the bottom pulley
outward gains cable length.
c. Once the cables have been adjusted to remove all slack, adjust the Adjustable Stoppers in the
Top Frame to where they just touch the Adjustable Pulley Block (13). The Adjustable Stoppers
welded on top frame aid in the function of the gym by eliminating the need to engage all
cables in any given exercise routine.
The Cable Adjustment of GL Strength Training System

Assembly is complete!
Please take the following steps before using the gym:
1. Make certain all bolts are tightened securely.
2. Make certain all Cable Bolt Jam Nuts are properly Secured.
3. Make certain all cables are seated into all pulley grooves and pulley retainers properly aligned.
A cable rubbing against steel will damage the nylon coating, voiding warranty and resulting in
a need for replacement.
4. Pre-stretch the cables. The cables may require an additional adjustment after the first few
workouts. To speed up this process you can put the Weight Selector Pin in the bottom hole on
the weight stack. Carefully pull on the cables with great force, providing any initial cable stretch.
5. The cables should be adjusted as tight as possible, but no so tight as to lift the Top Plate above
the weight stack. Be certain to secure the jam nuts after adjustments are made.
6. For better performance, apply a household lubricant (such as silicone) to any adjustable areas
and to the Guide Rods.
MAINTENANCE:
1. Inspect cables for bulging fraying and damage prior to each workout.
2. Inspect all accessory attachments for wear prior to each workout.
3. Inspect all bolts and welds weekly.
4. Inspect pulleys for visible damage and wear weekly.
5. Clean and apply silicone to the Guide Rods every 6 months.
Enjoy many years of a Fit Lifestyle.
