Replace any worn parts immediately. The weight system can be cleaned with a damp cloth and a 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. To tighten the cables, first insert the weight pin into the middle of the weight stack. Slack can be removed from these cables several ways: • See drawing 1. Tighten the M8 Nylon Locknut (91) that connects the end of a cable to a “U”bracket (50). • See drawing 1. Remove the M10 Nylon Locknut (90) and the M10 x 52mm Bolt (78) from the Cable Trap (68), the 90mm Pulley (63), the two Half Finger Guards (66), and a “U”-bracket (50). Reattach the Pulley, Cable Trap, and Finger Guards to the other hole in the “U”-bracket. Make sure that the Cable Trap and Finger Guards are oriented as shown and that the cable and Pulley move smoothly. • See drawing 2. Remove the M10 Nylon Locknut (90) and the M10 x 52mm Bolt (78) from the Cable Trap (68), the 90mm Pulley (63), the two Half Finger Guards (66), and the two Pulley Plates (51). Reattach the Pulley, Cable Trap, and Finger Guards to the next closer hole to the center of the Pulley Plates. Make sure that the Cable Trap is oriented to hold the cable in the groove of the Pulley, that the Finger Guards are oriented as shown, and that the Cable and Pulley move smoothly. • See drawing 3. Loosen the M12 Nut (49) on the Weight Cable (110). Tighten the Cable into the Weight Tube (not shown) until the slack is removed from the Cable. Retighten the M12 Nut against the M12 Washer (33). 1 6690 68 50 91 66 7863 2 66 78 68 51 66 90 63 3 49 110 33 Do not overtighten 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 re-install it. If the cables need to be replaced, see ORDERING REPLACEMENT PARTS on the back cover of this manual. 28 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 muscles will continually adapt and grow as you progressively 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 performed. (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 moderate percentage of their capacity. Select a moderate amount of resistance and increase the number of repetitions 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 completing 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 balanced 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 exercise will reshape and strengthen your body, plus develop 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 overdoing it during the first few months of your exercise program. 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 immediately and begin cooli...
