Double Floating Pulley Bracket (#17) previously installed in Step-6. Install another
Pulley.
E.) Draw the Cable around the Pulley then downward to the open bracket on the Main
Base Frame. Install another Pulley.
F.) Pull the Cable around the Pulley then upward to the Double Floating Pulley Bracket
(#16) previously installed in Step-5. Install another Pulley.
G.) Draw the Cable around the Pulley then pull downward. Connect the Cable to a C-clip
(#50) then connect the C-clip to a Short Chain (#46).
H.) Connect the Short Chain to the bracket on the back of the Front Vertical Frame.
Secure it with one M10 x 1” Allen Bolt (#70), two Ø ¾” Washers (#80), and one M10
Aircraft Nut (#82).
I.) Adjust the tension of the Cable by adjusting the length of the Short Chain. For best
performance of the machine, adjust the Chain so the Selector Stem (Top Plate) on
the weight stack is ¼” above the first plate. While adjusting the weight stack, push
down on the Selector Stem to close up the gap then pin the plates. This will remove
the slag in the cable system so the range of motion is smooth and tight.

STEP 8 (See Diagram 8)
A.) Attach a Short Chain (#46) to the Upper Cable (#31) by using a C-clip (#50). Attach
the Lat Bar (#14) to the Chain by using another C-clip. Adjust the length of the Chain
to obtain desired Lat Bar exercise.
B.) Attach a Long Chain (#45) to the Lower Cable (#32) by using a C-clip (#50). Attach
the Arm Curl Handle (#15) to the Chain by using another C-clip. Adjust the length of
the Chain to obtain the desired Arm Curl exercise. Remove the Chain and the Handle
