Maintenance tips for your Sears weight system

Inspect all moving parts each time you use your weight system. Replace any worn cables or pulleys immediately. Tighten any loose bolts, nuts or other fasteners.

Cables can stretch when you use the weight system the first time. Cables also stretch over time. Carefully check cable tension before each use. Tighten any cable that has any slack during inspection. Don't overtighten any cables. The top weight in a stack will be lifted up off the stack if a cable is overtightened.

If a cable slips off the pulleys often, the cable may be twisted. Remove the cable and re-install it.

All cables should be replaced every 2 years.

Toning exercise routines to use on your Sears weight system

• Always consult with your physician before beginning any fitness routine on your weight system.
• Start by stretching muscles and exercising lightly before beginning your muscle toning routine to avoid injury. A thorough warm-up routine increases your body temperature, heart rate and circulation in preparation for muscle toning.
• To tone muscles, set weights to work your muscles at a moderate percentage of their capacity such as 50 percent.
• Start with a moderate number of repetitions and increase the number of repetitions with each set that you complete.
• Complete as many sets of 15 to 20 repetitions as possible without extreme discomfort. Rest for 1 minute between sets.
• Tone muscles by completing more sets of 15 to 20 repetitions rather than by increasing the weight while completing sets.
