Assembly

Note: This introduction will save you more time than it takes to read it!

Making Things Easier for Yourself
Everything in this manual is designed to ensure that the assembly of our products can be completed successfully by anyone. However, it is important to recognize that your new equipment is a sophisticated product with many small parts. The assembly process will take timeÑpossibly several hours. You may want to complete the process over a couple of evenings. Most people find that by setting aside plenty of time, and by deciding to make the task enjoyable, assembly will go smoothly.

Giving Yourself a Good Start
Before you begin the assembly process itself, take the time to complete the steps outlined here.
Clearing the Workspace
Clear a workspace that is large enough to hold all parts and allow you to walk all the way around the assembled equipment.
Unpacking the Box
To make the assembly process as smooth as possible, we have broken it into separate stages. All parts used in each stage are found in individual packages in the shipping box. Place all parts in a cleared area and remove the packing materials. Do not dispose of the packing materials until assembly is completed.

Important: Wait until you begin each assembly stage to open the parts bag labeled for that assembly stage.

Identifying Parts
To help you identify the small parts used in assem-bly, we have included a PART IDENTIFICATION CHART located in the center of this manual. Place the chart on the floor or work table and use it to quickly identify different parts as you open the pack-ages for each step.

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.
Orienting Parts
As you assemble this product, make sure all parts are oriented as shown in the drawings.
Tightening of Parts
Tighten all parts as you assemble them, unless instructed to do otherwise.
Lining Up the Tools
Assembly requires the following tools (not included):

• Lubricants, such as grease or petroleum jelly, and soapy water
• Tapes, such as clear tape or masking tape

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.

The Four Stages of the Assembly Process

1. Frame Assembly
   You will begin by assembling the base and the upright frames that serve as the skeleton of the equipment. The seats and all moving parts will be attached to the frame.
2. Arm Assembly
   Completes the press and butterfly arms that you operate while you are exercising.
3. Cable Assembly
   Completes the cables and pulleys that connect the moving arms with each other and with the weights. This ties the different parts together and makes the equipment function as a unit
4. Seat Assembly
   Completes the seats and backrests that support your body while you are exercising.

58. Make sure that all parts have been properly tightened. The use of the remaining parts will be explained  HOW TO USE THE HOME GYM SYSTEM, beginning on page 23 of this manual. Before using the home gym system, pull each cable a few times to be 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 26 and 27 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 TROUBLE-SHOOTING AND MAINTENANCE on page 25.

Troubleshooting and Maintenance

Inspect and tighten all parts each time you use the home gym system. Replace any worn parts immediately. The home gym system 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 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. If any slack is felt when using the weight stack closest to the lat upright, both the High Cable (85) and the Low Cable (86) will need to be tightened. If any slack is felt when using the other weight stack, the Rear Cable (87), the Press Cable (88), and the Butterfly Cable (89) will need to be tightened.

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

• See drawing 1. Tighten the 1/4″ Nylon Locknut (44) that connects the end of the Press Cable (88) to the Large “U” Bracket (84).
• See drawing 1. Remove the 3/8″ Nylon Locknut (42) and the 3/8″ x 2″ Bolt (50) from the Cable Trap (80), Pulley, and Large “U” Bracket (84). Re-attach the Pulley and Cable Trap to the other hole in the Large “U” Bracket. Make sure the Cable Trap is in the proper position and that the Cable and Pulley move smoothly.
• See drawing 2. Loosen the 1/2″ Plain Nut (35) on the end of the High Cable (85). Thread the Cable further into the Weight Tube (25). Hand-tighten the 1/2″ Plain Nut. The Rear Cable (87) can be tightened in the same manner.
• See Drawing 3. If you feel additional slack while using the home gym system, the Low Cable (86) and the Press Cable (88) can be tightened further. Remove the 3/8″ x 2″ Bolts (50), the 3/8″ Nylon Locknuts (42), the 3 1/3″ Pulleys (82), and the Cable Traps (80) from the Pulley Plates (31). Reattach the upper Pulley without the Cable Trap. Reattach the lower Pulley to the higher hole in the Pulley Plates without the Cable Trap. Keep the Cable Traps for future use. Make sure the Cable and Pulley move smoothly.

Do not over tighten 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.
