TROUBLE-SHOOTING AND MAINTENANCE
Inspect and tighten all parts each time you use the weight system. Replace any worn parts immediately. The
weight 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 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. Locate the adjustment
sleeve and adjustment screw near the lower end of
the Short Cable (23). Loosen the adjustment screw.
Pull the end of the Short Cable until there is no slack
in the cables. Slide the adjustment sleeve and the ball
against the indicated 3 1/2” Pulley (15). Retighten the
adjustment screw. Make sure that the cables are not
too tight, or the top weight will be lifted off the weight
stack.

Before you begin, make sure you have carefully
read the instructions at the top of this page.
Press a 2” Inner Cap (27) into the Base (4).
Attach the Pulley Plate (20) to the Base (4) with two
5/16” x 2 3/4” Bolts (11), two 5/16” Flat Washers (8),
and two 5/16” Nylon Locknuts (3).
Insert two 5/16” x 2 1/2” Carriage Bolts (1) up
through the Base (4).
Make sure you have the following tools:
• Two adjustable spanners
• One phillips screwdriver
• One rubber mallet
• You will also need grease or petroleum jelly, a
small amount of soapy water, and clear tape or
masking tape.
Note: Assembly will be more convenient if you have
a socket set, a set of open-end or closed-end span-
ners, or a set of ratchet spanners.
How to Unpack the Box
Place all parts of the weight system in a cleared
area and remove the packing materials. Do not dis-
pose of the packing materials until assembly is com-
pleted.
Tightening Parts
Tighten all parts as you assemble them, unless
instructed to do otherwise.
Select a Location for the Weight System
Because of its weight and size, the weight system
should be assembled in the location where it will be
used. Make sure that there is enough room to walk
around the weight system as you assemble it.
Questions?
If you have questions after reading the assembly
instructions, please call our Customer Service
Department toll-free at 0345-089009.
Assembly Requires Two Persons
For your convenience and safety, assemble the
weight system with the help of another person.
Set Aside Enough Time
Due to the many features of the weight system, the
assembly process will require a few hours. By set-
ting aside plenty of time and by deciding to make
the task enjoyable, assembly will go smoothly. You
may want to assemble the weight system over a
couple of evenings.
How to Orient Parts
As you assemble the weight system, make sure
that all parts are oriented exactly as shown in the
drawings.
How to Identify Parts
To help you identify the small parts used in assem-
bly, we have included a PART IDENTIFICATION
CHART in the centre of this manual. Place the
chart on the floor and use it to easily identify parts
during each assembly step. Note: Some small
parts may have been pre-attached. If a part is
not in the parts bag, check to see if it has been
pre-attached.
Make Assembly Easier for Yourself.
Everything in this manual is designed to
ensure that the weight system can be assem-
bled successfully by anyone. Before begin-
ning assembly, make sure to read the
information on this page; this brief intro-
duction will save you much more time than
it takes to read it.
