the Arm Curl Handle (#12) to the Chain by using another C-clip. Replace Arm
Curl Handle with the Ankle Strap (#82) for various Leg exercises. Adjust the
length of Chain to obtain the desired exercise. Remove the Arm Curl Handle and
Ankle Strap when using the Leg Developer.
M.) Lubricate the two Guide Rods with WD-40 or light oil. This will minimize the
friction on the Rods so the weight plates can slide up and down on the rods more
freely.
