ance system only as described in this manual. 

2.

It is the responsibility of the owner to ensure
that all users of the resistance system are
adequately informed of all precautions.

3.

The resistance system is intended for home
use only. Do not use the resistance system in
any commercial, rental, or institutional setting.

4.

Use the resistance system only on a level
surface. Cover the floor beneath the resist-
ance system to protect the floor.

5.   Make sure that all parts are properly tight-

ened each time the resistance system is
used. Replace any worn parts immediately. 

6.   Keep children under 12 and pets away from

the resistance system at all times.

7.  Keep hands and feet away from moving parts.

8.

Always wear athletic shoes for foot protec-
tion while exercising.

9.

The top frame is not designed to be used for
pull-up exercises. Do not hang on the top
frame.

10. The resistance system is designed to sup-

port a maximum user weight of 300 pounds. 

11. Pull on the low pulley cable only while sitting

on the bench or standing on the base plate.
Pull on the high pulley cables only while sit-
ting on the bench, with the seat in one of the
three positions closest to the upright base,
or while standing on the base plate.

12.  Always disconnect the lat bar from the short

cables when performing an exercise that
does not require it.

13. When adding resistance, both ends of the

resistance bars must rest under the two “U”-
channels. Add and remove resistance bars
from the “U”-channels one resistance bar at
a time. 

14. Keep clear of the area around the “U”-chan-

nels while the resistance system is in use.
Do not add or remove resistance bars from
the “U”-channels while the end of the long
cable is pulled out.

15. Always adjust the resistance bar assembly to

the horizontal position and make sure the
fulcrum knob is secure before using the
resistance system.

16. Make sure the rings on the resistance bars

are pushed against the tray before using the
resistance system.

17. The resistance system is designed to be

used with the included resistance, and the
resistance included with a MAX by WEIDER

Power Pak. Do not use the resistance system
with any other type of resistance. 

18. Make sure the storage knob is in place and

fully tightened each time the resistance sys-
tem is used. 

19. Make sure that the cables remain on the pul-

leys at all times. If the cables bind as you are
exercising, stop immediately and make sure
that the cables are on the pulleys. Replace all
cables at least every two years.

from moisture and dust. Do not put the

patio, or near water.
