UPPER CABLE ADJUSTMENT After completing the assembly of the resistance system, the tension on the Upper Cable (121) will need to be adjusted. Also, the Upper Cable can stretch slightly when it is first used. When this occurs, the Upper Cable ten- sion will need to be readjusted.
ADJUSTMENTS This section explains how to adjust the resistance system. See the EXERCISE GUIDELINES on page 21 for important information about how to get the most benefit from your exercise program. Also, refer to the accompa- nying exercise guide to see the correct form for each exercise. Make sure all parts are properly tightened each time the resistance system is used.

Note: The resistance system uses progressive resistance. As the resistance bar begins to bend, the amount of resistance will increase gradually. As the bar bends further, the resistance will increase rapidly, up to 340 pounds. 3. Enter the numbers of sets and repetitions that you plan to complete for an exercise.
CABLE DIAGRAM The cable diagram shows the proper routing of the Upper Cable (121). Use the diagram to make sure that the Cable has been assembled correctly. If the Cable has not been correctly routed, the resistance system will not function properly and damage may Upper Cable (121) occur.
TROUBLESHOOTING CLEANING THE BAR GUIDES Over time, dust may build up on the Crossbar Guides (15), causing a squeaking noise as the resistance system is used. If this occurs, wipe off the Crossbar Guides with a damp cloth and a mild, non-abrasive detergent.
