Quick Assembly Instructions:
We fully assemble and test the UPPERTONE, then minimally disassemble it before shipping it you.
We describe the re-assembly process below. Part numbers are noted in parenthesis. A complete list of the
parts used in the following steps is included at the end of this manual.
Figure 1 shows the UPPERTONE when it is fully assembled. Use this figure as well as the photograph on
the cover to guide you in the assembly process.
A. Frame Assembly (Figures 2 & 3)
1. Lay the two Frame Legs (part #2) on the floor about 42"
apart with the pulleys facing out. Ensure that the four heavy
Rubber Caps (52) at the ends of the Frame Legs have not
come loose during shipment.
2. Position the Main Frame (1) onto the Frame Legs (Figure
2), making sure the weight arm is resting on the Main
Frame, not on the floor (Figure 3). Attach the Main Frame
using the 3/8” Hex Bolts (48) and Nuts (42) provided.
3. Bolt the Frame Post (3) to the Main Frame (1) using the
black button head bolts with the post bracket at the bottom
of the U-Frame as shown in Figure 2.

B. Crankshaft Assembly (Figures 4 & 5)
1. Slide theDeltoid/Lat Slider (6) down the Frame Post (3) (Figure 4). The pulleys should face the inside
of the machine.
2. Remove the Shaft
Collar (25) and Washer
(24) from the
Crankshaft (22).
3. Insert the Crankshaft
(22) through the square
tab on the Frame Post
(3) replacing the
Washer (24) and Shaft
Collar (25), in that
order (Figure 5).
4. Now completely thread
the Crankshaft through
the tab on the
Deltoid/Lat Slider (6)
until the Crankshaft
handle is against the square tab on the
Frame Post (3).
5. Check that the Washer (24) and the
Shaft Collar (25) are resting on the square tab welded to the Post Bracket.
6. Tighten the Shaft Collar (25) on the Crankshaft using the Allen wrench on the black
set screw in the shaft collar.
7. Now test the Crankshaft by turning it counter-clockwise. The Deltoid/Lat Slider will rise off the Main
Frame if the Crankshaft is working properly.
8. Finally, place the provided 1.5” square cap on top of the Frame Post.
C. Deltoid/Lat Slider Assembly (Figure 6)
1. Slide the Deltoid/Lat Handle (28)
onto Deltoid/Lat Arm (27).
2. Push the square Cap (35) onto the
end of each Deltoid/Lat Arm.
3. Remove the Lock Nuts (42) on the
bolts at both ends of the Deltoid/Lat
Slider (6).
4. Mount the separately packaged
Large Pulleys (16) making sure that
the black spacers (56) that were on
the bolts are behind each pulley.
5. Replace the nuts and tighten them
so that they are loose enough for the
Curl Elbow Pivot Bracket (30b) to
pivot freely.
6. Mount the Small Pulleys (14w) on
the center of the Deltoid/Lat Slider.

D. Rowing Lever Assembly (Figure 7)
1. Cut the plastic zip ties on the Frame Legs (2) where the Rowing Levers (5) are to be inserted.
2. Insert the Rowing Levers into the Bearings (65). Secure them with Shaft Collars (32) by sliding each
Shaft Collar over the protruding Rowing Lever shaft and tightening the black set screw with the Allen
wrench. Both Rowing Levers (5) should rest against the Row Stops.
3. Insert the Rowing Adjusters (7) into the Rowing Levers (5).
4. Thread the black Wing Handles (12) into the Rowing Levers (5). These handles are used to adjust the
height of the Rowing Adjusters (7).
5. Insert the Tri-Pin system into the row adjuster as shown in Figure 8, and then screw in the Bumper (40)
with the Nut (9) and put in the Plug (37).
E. Cable Installation (Figures 9, 10, & 11)
Note: When you have finished installing the cable, as shown in Figure 8 there should be a gap of 2" to
3" between the truck arms and the stop. If you do not have this gap, the cable is incorrectly installed.
See Figure 8.
1. Attach the Hook Bolt (33) to the
top of the Frame Post (3) using the
two nuts that were on the Hook
Bolt. Slide the Hook Bolt halfway
through the Frame Post. Thread

the regular nut so that it is inside the
Frame Post. Slide the Hook Bolt
through the second hole in the
Frame Post, then thread and tighten
the Lock Nut.
2. Hook the center of the cable on the
Hook Bolt. Be sure the round sticker
marked “front” is facing you.
3. Adjust the swing plates so that the
inner one is horizontal and the outer
one is vertical on both sides of the
central post.
Note: While installing the cable,
alternate the direction with which the
cable goes around each succeeding
pulley, making a series of “S” curves.
4. First, Drop the cable straight down
past the first pulley.
5. Next, Loop the cable around the pulley attached to the vertical swing plate.
6. Then, Down and Around the large pulley,
7. Up Over the pulley on the horizontal swing plate,
8. Down Under the next pulley (which is attached to the frame),
9. Over and Down around the pulley attached to the Curl Arm (30)
10. Down against the second large pulley (which you installed in step C:4-5).
11. Under and back around the third large pulley (attached to the Weight Track)
12. Straight Back under the lowest pulley,
13. Up Through Around the pulley bolted to the rowing arm,
14. Under Over and Back on the highest,
15. Finally, Hook the end of the cable to the Hook Bolt on the rowing arm (You will need to lift up the
Weight Track (4) to complete this step).
16. Complete the other side.
17. Finally check to make sure all nuts and bolts have been fully tightened.
H. Installing Weights (Figure 11)
1. Add desired weights to Weight Truck (18).
2. DO NOT EXCEED 65 POUNDS ON EACH TRUCK. AND SECURE THE WEIGHTS ON PEGS
BY CLIPPING SPRING CLIPS (74) TO TOP OF WEIGHT TRUCK PEGS.
