UPPER CABLE ADJUSTMENT After completing the assembly of the resistance system, the tension on the upper cable (B) 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 20 for important information about how to get the most benefit from your exercise program. Also, see the accompany- ing exercise guide to see the correct form for each exercise. Make sure all parts are properly tightened each time the resistance system is used.

ADJUSTING THE BACKREST The Backrest (40) can be used in a level position or one of three inclined positions. To use the Backrest in a level position, secure the Seat Carriage (48) to the adjustment hole in the Bench Rail (23) next to the Front Leg (31) (see ADJUSTING THE SEAT on page 15).
CABLE DIAGRAM The cable diagram shows the proper routing of the upper cable (B). Use the diagram to make sure that Upper Cable (B) the cable has been assembled correctly. If the cable has not been correctly routed, the resistance system will not function properly and damage may occur.
