ADDING WEIGHTS TO THE BARBELL OR THE WEIGHT CARRIAGE To use the Weight Bar (18) or the Weight Carriage (7), slide the desired amount of weight (not included) onto the Weight Bar Adapters (22) or the Weight Carriage Tubes (8). Secure the weights with the 18 Spring Collars (27). WARNING: Do not place more than 310 lbs. (141 kg) on the Weight Bar (18), or 150 lbs. (68 kg) on the Weight Carriage (7). Always place the same amount of weight on each side of the Weight Bar or the Weight Carriage. Always secure weights with the Spring Collars (27). Always lower the weight carriage and the weight bar in a controlled manner; never let the weight carriage or the weight bar drop. 7 8 Weight Weight 22 27 27 MAINTENANCE Make sure that all parts are properly tightened each time the weight bench is used. Replace any worn parts immediately. The weight bench can be cleaned with a damp cloth and a mild, non-abrasive detergent; do not use solvents to clean the weight bench. TIGHTENING THE CABLES Woven cable, the type of cable used on the weight bench, can stretch slightly when it is first used. If there is slack in the cables before resistance is felt, the cables should be tightened. First, add weights to the weight carriage (see ADDING WEIGHTS TO THE BARBELL OR THE WEIGHT CARRIAGE above). Remove the M10 Locknut (65) and the M10 x 45mm Bolt (69) from the Small Pulley (33) near the lower end of the two Pulley Plates (56). Reattach the Small Pulley to the hole closer to the center of the Pulley Plates. Make sure that the Low Cable (52) and the Small Pulley move smoothly. If necessary, adjust the position of the Small Pulley (33) near the upper end of the Pulley Plates (56) in the same way. 33 56 65 69 33 52 Do not overtighten the cables. If a cable tends to slip off the pulleys often, it may have become twisted. Remove the cable and reinstall it. If a cable needs to be replaced, see the back cover of this manual. 18
