1) First remove the top panel (A)
from the top of the machine.
Next, manually slide out the unit’s
protective shroud (B) from its tracks
on the sides of the frame and put it
aside.
2) Lower the add-on weights so that
they are resting on the top plate. This
will expose the two silver cylindrical
bolts and black plastic bracket (C)
holding the chromed guide rods (D)
in place. Loosen and remove both
cylindrical bolts and the black plastic
bracket.
On most stations, you will find special
“split” washers (also called lock
washers) and “flat” washers between
the cylindrical bolt and the bracket
that are very important. They keep the
bolts from vibrating loose over time.
Securely install the “flat” washer
under the plastic bracket (C) and the
“split” washer between the cylindrical
bolt and the “flat” washer. On other
stations, you will find regular nut and
bolt assemblies that do not require
these washers. Carefully let the guide
rods lean to whichever side of the unit
is easiest to work on. The rods will
lean about 60 degrees and sit safely
in place on an angle.

3) Remove the two add-on weights.
4) Grasp the top plate (hanging on either
a belt or a cable) and slide it off the
top of the guide rods. Let the top
plate (E) hang on the belt or cable and
place it to one side.
5) Slide all the weight plates (F) onto the
guide rods one at a time as per the
diagram. Slide the hanging top plate
back onto the guide rods to complete
the weight stack without twisting the
belt or cable.
