3. One person should hold on to the MA N UN T while a second person should attach the
M D CROSS BAR to it using the provided 1/4-20 X 3” screws. Use a cardboard block
provided with the unit to prop up the unit while attaching the M D CROSS BAR. Have a
second person hold the unit from falling over while attaching the M D CROSS BAR. The
anti-skid tape of the M D CROSS BAR should be pointing to the ground. nsert screws
with 1” OD fender washer from the bottom up through the M D CROSS BAR so the
threads protrude from the M D CROSS BAR upwards. Fasten provided 0.25-20 nut onto
protruding thread.
CAUTION: Leaving the product unsupported before the unit is attached to the
MID CROSS BAR could cause the unit to fall over and cause injury and/or product
damage.
4. Attach the ADUSTABLE REAR CROSS BAR with the anti-skid tape pointing up and
adjust the two leveling feet until both touch the ground. nsert screws with 1” OD fender

the outside as shown above. This will protect the rope from getting snagged on the end
threads of the screws.
7. Connect the back end of the BENCH to the BENCH LEG as shown above/right. After
this connection is made tighten all screws for BENCH LEG and BENCH.

barrels of the BOOM. Note the CARR AGE PULLEY orients to the front of the unit.
Remove the pulley from the CARR AGE and install the rope on it. Make sure rope is not
twisted when installing it on the CARR AGE. After the BOOM CAP is attached to the
BOOM, slide carriage to the bottom slot in the boom before proceeding. (Ropes with
plastic cap ends may be connected to carriage at a later time)
13. Connect the BOOM to the MA N UN T with the 3/8-16 bolts, nuts and washers. .
14. Connect the two PLAST C COVERS for Boom Base. Attach the small covers to the
main covers first. Afterwards, attach the top of the small cover to the boom with provided
screws on boom.
15. The electronic display works with two AAA batteries. To replace the batteries remove
the 4 screws that connect the D SPLAY TRAY to the main covers. Slowly pull the
D SPLAY TRAY away from the machine. Disconnect the display from the main
harness. Next remove the 4 machine screws that connect the D SPLAY to the the
D SPLAY TRAY to access the battery cover on the back of the D SPLAY.
16. f the unit has black plastic end caps on the rope ends, pull end of the rope through the
BOOM and over the top of the CARR AGE PULLEY and the other end of the rope, pull
under and around the BOTTOM ROPE PULLEY and through the HORSE SHOE of the
BENCH to connect the two ends of the rope. See illustration on previous page for rope
routing diagram. Also see steps 18 and 19 for ends connection.
NOTE: the rope tends to tighten up during shipping so you may need to stretch it before
connecting the two ends. To do this hold the two ends of the rope and work the rope up
and down with a few pulls, to stretch it until the ends can reach each other. For optimal
unit performance, allow some slack in the rope after the two ends are connected. f
needed, the slack in the rope can be adjusted by moving the BOTTOM ROPE PULLEY
to a higher or lower set of holes.
