You will be using 3/8” x 2-3/4” bolts in the configuration shown in Figure 1 to assemble this
machine. Using a 9/16” socket and open end wrench:
1. Connect the Back Brace (#1) to the sides. Leave the bolts loose until all parts have been
assembled.
2. Connect the Bottom Brace (#2) to the sides. Leave the bolts loose until all parts have
been assembled.
3. Connect the Top (#3) to the sides. Leave the bolts loose until all parts have been
assembled.
4. Go back and tighten all bolts. Overtightening the bolts will make it difficult to put the
Caplug on the nut.
5. Place the Caplugs on all the Caplug washers.
6. Check to see that the weight stack pins slide easily into all weight plates.
7. Check to see that the pulley adjustment mechanism works correctly by lifting the handle
(see Figure 2) and placing it into each of the two holes. Then attach a handle to the cable
and lift the weight stack in each of the variable resistance positions.
