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.

ATTACHING THE ACCESSORIES To attach a Short Handle (67) to a high pulley, first attach the high pulley to the resistance system (see ATTACHING THE HIGH PULLEYS on page 15). Then, attach the Short Handle to the Short Cable (60) with a Cable Clip (64).
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.
TROUBLESHOOTING CLEANING THE BAR GUIDES Over time, dust may build up on the Bar Guides (55), causing a squeaking noise as the resistance system is used. If this occurs, wipe off the Bar Guides with a damp cloth and a mild, non-abrasive detergent. Do not use solvents.
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 mus- cles will continually adapt and grow as you progres- sively increase the intensity of your exercise. You can adjust the intensity level of an individual exercise in two ways: •...
Rest for a short period of time after each set. The ideal resting periods are: • Rest for three minutes after each set for a muscle building workout. • Rest for one minute after each set for a toning work- out.
