WEIGHT RESISTANCE CHART
The chart below shows the approximate weight resistance at each exercise station. “Top” refers to the 6 lb. top
weight. The other numbers refer to the 12.5 lb. weight plates. Weight resistance shown for the butterfly arm sta-
tion is for each butterfly 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.
Note: 1 lb. = .454 kg
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.
Slack can be removed by moving a 90mm Pulley (not
shown) and pair of Pulley Covers (44) to a set of
holes closer to the centre of the two Pulley Plates
(36). Remove the M10 Nylon Locknut (71) and the
M10 x 53mm Bolt (61) from the Pulley Covers, the
Pulley, and the Pulley Plates. Re-attach the Pulley
and the Pulley Covers to the new set of holes in the
Pulley Plates with the Bolt and Nylon Locknut.
