INSTALL THE CARRIAGE PULLEY BRACKETS
4. Bolt the two
carriage pulley
brackets to the
underside of the
carriage using
existing hardware
and nuts just
removed. Make
sure the pulleys
are facing towards
the headrest as in
Figure B. Tighten
nuts securely. If
the bolts do not go into the Nylon of nut, it is okay to remove
the washers.
5. Install the shoulder rests back onto the carriage by sliding
them into the slots and away from the carriage pad.
6. Install new flanged shoulder posts onto the protruding
threads of the shoulder rests. Turn the flanged shoulder posts
clockwise to tighten. Hand tighten so the shoulder rest does
not move. Repeat on the other side. See Figure C.
INSTALL RISERS
7. Remove the pulleys from your existing risers by loosening the
nuts on the back of the risers.
8. Using the provided 5/32” Allen wrench, loosen the middle
screw and washer on each riser block and remove them. Slide
the riser block down on the riser posts and secure them using
the just removed screw and washer. See Figure D. Repeat for
the other riser.
INSTALL LOWER PULLEY MOUNTS
9. Install the lower mounts to the inside frame head end cross
rail using the 1/4-20 bolts on the inside of the frame, nuts
and washers as shown in Figure E.
INSTALL ROPE AND LOOPS
10. Place the black loops with pulleys on the shoulder posts. See
