Use the plus (+) and minus (–) sign at the bottom of the XS1 active user screen to either increase (+) or decrease (–) the weight load. 

With the XS1, you can lift up to 250 lbs from the deck and up to 140 lbs from the slide rack (70 lbs each side). Please note that digital weight will likely feel heavier than typical free weight.

Tension is not applied to the cables at all times. Cable tension is either loaded or unloaded. It remains unloaded the majority of the time and is only loaded when you manually select for it to be right before each set.

Controlling the weight is done from the user interface:

LOAD CABLE TENSION

No cable tension is applied until you LOAD the weight. Loading the weight applies tension to the cables based on the amount of resistance you have set. To load the weight, select the LOAD button on the UI. 

LIFT

After loading the weight, the device is ready for you to begin your training exercise or set. Get into the necessary position on the device, firmly grasp the accessory attached to the cable(s), and perform the training movement until the reps/set or routine is complete (reps/set refers to strength training and routine refers to cardio training).

UNLOAD CABLE TENSION

Once the set or routine is complete, rack the bar (if necessary) or gently lower the cables all the way to the deck or rack so you can release hold of the accessory. Select UNLOAD on the UI to disengage the cable tension and complete your set.
