(#16) previously installed in Step-5. Install another Pulley.
H.) 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).
I.) 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).
J.) 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.
