STEP 9
Attach pulleys 3 and 4 to the Main Upright (2) as shown with the M10*45 bolts (94). Pulley 5 is
assembled with the Floating Pulley Plates (28) and M10*45 bolts as shown. Pulley 6 is
assembled in the corner of the Main Upright between the Top Beam Plates (22) with the M10*45
bolt as shown. Pulleys 7 and 8 are installed inside the 3” round tube of the Main Upright. Pulley
7 is above Pulley 8 and they are installed with the 1” Step Spacers (46) as shown on both sides
of the tube. Pulleys 9 and 10 are attached to the Press Arm Mount (12) as shown with the
M10*70 bolts (103). Tighten all pulley hardware now.
To route the Upper Cable (43), start by laying it out on the floor to completely unwind it. Then
fully insert the threaded end into the Top Plate of the Weight Stack. With the other end, run the
cable up and over Pulleys 3 and 4 and then down and around Pulley 5 before going back up to
Pulley 6 in the corner of the gym. After routing over Pulley 6 run the cable down through the 3”
tube and around the bottom of Pulley 8 then to the bottom of Pulley 9 in the Press Arm Mount.
Continue back through the 3” round tube to run the cable around the bottom of Pulley 7. Head
back out of the 3” round tube to the bottom of Pulley 10 in the Press Arm Mount. Go around
Pulley 10 and secure the cable end to the bracket at the top of the 3” round tube as shown using
the M10*45 bolt and the Cable End (55) with Bushing (56) and tighten the hardware.

STEP 10
A) Install Pulley 11 and 13 using the M10* 45 bolts (94). Install Pulley 12 using the M10*95
bolt (97) and two 1” Step Spacers (46) as shown in the drawing. Tighten the hardware at
this time.
B) On the Leg Extension Cam Assembly (48), remove the four flat head screws (109) and the
chrome Cam Plate (27). Insert the large ball end of the Leg Extension Cable (41) into the
recessed area and reinstall the chrome Cam Plate with the four screws. Tighten the
screws. Then feed the other cable end between the two small pulleys (58), over the
metal plate and down to Pulley 11 as shown in the enlarged drawing. Run the cable
behind Pulley 11 then down and under Pulley12 and then to the back of the gym. Be sure
the cable goes between Pulley 12 and the cable retainer rod welded inside the tube. You
will finish routing it after Step C.
C) Now insert the Leg Extension Cam Assembly (48) into the Leg Extension Assembly (15)
with the selector number “5” at the top. Now while holding them together, place them
between the two plates of the Seat Base Frame (4) and assemble using the M12*95 bolt
(98), flat washer (87), and thin locknut (89). Tighten this bolt but do not over tighten as
the Leg Extension must be able to rotate freely.
D) Now continue routing the cable by running it through the bottom of the Main Upright (2)
and under Pulley 13. You will finish installing this cable in Step 11A.

STEP 11
A) Insert the end of the Leg Extension Cable (41), from Step 10, into the Floating Pulley
Bracket Assembly (20) as shown in the circle diagram, slide on the Cable Adapter (72),
seat it in the pulley bracket and install Pulley 14 with M10*45 bolt (94).
B) Now with Press Arm Middle Cable (42), take the end with the eyelet and bolt it to the Main
Frame with M10*25 bolt (108) and tighten the hardware now. Then route the cable under
Pulley 14 through the Floating Pulley Bracket (20) and up the other side of the square
post. The Floating Pulley Bracket and Pulley 14 should now be positioned directly under
the post where the cable end is attached.
C) Attach Pulley 15 to the Floating Pulley Plates (28) with one M10*45 bolt and run the cable
over the top of the pulley and back down towards Pulley 16 (59). At Pulley 16, you will
first need to finish the cable end as in Step A above and then install the pulley into the
Floating Pulley Bracket (63) with one M10*45 bolt.
Tighten all hardware in this Steps A, B, and C above.

B) Begin routing the Lower Cable (40) by screwing the threaded end half way into the frame,
near Pulley 17, as shown and tighten the Jam Nut. Then route cable up and around Pulley
16, down around the bottom of Pulley 17 and then under Pulley 18.
C) Remove the hardware from the “U” Bracket (62). Assemble the cable end by sliding one
black Cable Ball (61) on the end of the cable just up to the little Rubber Donut then slide
the cable end into the side of the “U” Bracket. Bolt the Spring Clip (78) to the “U” Bracket
with the hardware. Retighten the “U” Bracket hardware now. Slide the Rubber Donut and
Cable Ball tightly against the “U” Bracket.

A) Install the Pulley Bracket (24) to the back side of the gym under Pulley 22 with M10*25 bolt (108).
This bolt is installed in the threaded insert located below Pulley 22 on the back side.
B) Install Pulley 19, 20, 22 and 23 at the top of the Main Frame (1) with the M10*45 bolts (94). Pulley
21 is installed directly below Pulley 22 on the back side of the gym. It is attached to Pulley Bracket
(24) and the gym with the M10*70 bolt (102) and the 1” Barrel Spacer (25) between the pulley and
the Main Frame as shown at the top of the picture.
C) To route the Lat Upper Cable (45), first unwind it by stretching it out on the floor. Then fully screw
the threaded end into the Top Weight Assembly (77) of the weight stack and tighten the Jam Nut.
Route the cable up and around both Pulley 19 and 20 as shown. Be sure to route the cable between
the cable retainer rods and the Pulleys or cable damage will occur.
(NOTE: If you installing an LP3 to the M5.2, go to page 15 in the LP3 manual at this time.)
Continue by routing the cable down and around Pulley 21 then up and around Pulley 22. From there
run the cable over the top of the gym, over Pulleys 20 and 19, then down and around Pulley 23
before running it down to the back side of Pulley 24. Pulley 24 is assembled with two Floating Pulley
Plates (28) and the M10*45 bolt (94). Run the cable around Pulley 24, then up and over Pulley 1
and 2. Make sure that the cable is routed through the curved opening in the pulley bracket and
between Pulley 2 and the cable retainer pin or the cable will be damaged. Finish the cable end the
same way it was finished in Step 12.
Tighten the hardware for Pulleys 19, 20, 21, 22, 23 and 24 at this time. Also ensure that the
hardware for the Pulley Bracket (24) is tight at the top of the gym.
