INFORMATION
TO SAFELY REMOVE PRODUCT

FOLLOW THESE INSTRUCTIONS
FOR SAFETY, TWO OR MORE PERSONS MUST ASSIST IN THE
PACKAGE REMOVAL AND PRODUCT INSTALLATION.
IT IS BEST THAT THE REMOVAL OF THE PRODUCT FROM THE
PACKAGE, BE DONE NEAR THE AREA WHERE THE PRODUCT WILL
BE PLACED FOR USE. THIS WILL ELIMINATE THE NEED TO MOVE
THE PRODUCT AROUND AFTER IT IS ASSEMBLED. SHOULD THERE
BE A NEED TO MOVE THE PRODUCT AROUND, THERE MUST
ALWAYS BE AT LEAST TWO PERSONS DOING THIS OPERATION TO
AVOID ANY INJURIES. TO PROTECT THE ROPE FROM SNAGS, IT
MUST BE KEPT WRAPPED UNTIL IT IS READY TO BE STRETCHED
ONTO THE PULLEYS.
REMEMBER, ALWAYS KEEP ALL BODY PARTS AWAY FROM
PULLEYS OR ANY OTHER MOVING PARTS AS THESE ELEMENTS
CAN CAUSE SERIOUS INJURY.
MINORS SHOULD NEVER BE ALLOWED TO OPERATE THE
MACHINE WITHOUT THE CONSENT AND CONSTANT SUPERVISION
OF AN ADULT.

6. Install the BOOM with four 3/8” bolts, washers and lock nuts.
A second person must hold the boom until it is bolted down. Use 9/16” flat wrench and
7/32” allen wrench.
CAUTION: Do not let the rope drop on the floor during installation as this may allow
foreign objects off the floor to become imbedded in the rope fibers, which could become
a hazard for the users.

7. After making sure the rope is not twisted, place the rope over the TOP PULLEY and
secure the link of the rope connection in the rope end cap with the ¼-20 x 1.25” set
screw. Drive the screw in so from either side it looks evenly recessed in the end cap.
IMPORTANT: Place a drop of super glue on the last few threads of the set screw right
before it is screwed in all the way. This will prevent the screw from backing out of the
end cap during use.
8. Rope may shrink somewhat during shipping which may make it harder to push the
carriage up in the top position. Although the rope will naturally stretch after first few
uses, extra slack can be created by moving the ADJUSTABLE PULLEY under the
BENCH up to the next set of holes.
