USING THE LEG LEVER LOCK When using the low pulley station, engage the Leg Lever Lock (47) onto the Leg Lever (15) tube. 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.
CABLE DIAGRAMS The cable diagrams below show the proper routing of the Low Cable (70), the Press Cable (72), the Butterfly Cable (73), and the High Cable (88). Use the diagrams to make sure that the cables, the cable traps, and the finger guards have been assembled correctly.
WEIGHT RESISTANCE CHART The chart below shows the approximate weight resistance at each exercise station. The numbers refer to the 12.5 lb. weight plates. Weight resistance shown for the butterfly arm station is for each arm. Note: The actual resistance at each station may vary due to differences in individual weight plates as well as friction between the cables, pulleys, and weight guides.
