WEIGHT RESISTANCE CHART The chart below shows the approximate weight resistance at each exercise station. Weight resistance shown for the butterfly arm station is for each arm. Note: The actual resistance at each station may vary due to differ- ences in individual weight plates as well as friction between the cables, pulleys, and weight guides. The maximum number of plates when performing exercises with the Butterfly Arms (25, 26) is 10.
CABLE DIAGRAM The cable diagram shows the proper routing of the cables (49, 50, 133, 51). Use the diagram to make sure that the cable and the cable traps have been assembled correctly. If the cable has not been correctly routed, the weight system will not function properly and damage may occur.
