Begin Assembly
CAUTION: Do not fully tighten fasteners until instructed to do so.
The equipment is designed to be freestanding; however, it can be bolted to the floor for extra
stability. Precor highly recommends that the equipment be bolted to the floor to reduce the risk of
toppling the equipment due to improper use. Since floor construction varies, please consult a
professional building engineer for proper fastening.

Install weight stack tower
Figure 4
1. Insert the guide rods into the holes at the bottom of the weight tower frame.
Important: A hole passes through one end of each guide rod. Be sure to insert the end
without the hole into the bottom of the frame.
2. Pull the guide rods away from the frame, keeping their lower ends engaged in the bottom of
the tower frame. Slide one weight stack bumper over each guide rod, narrow end up.
3. Check the guide rods for silicone lubricant. If you do not find any, add some of the lubricant
supplied in the hardware kit to the guide rods.
4. Carefully slide nineteen 10 lb. (4.5 kg) weight plates onto the guide rods, one by one.
5. Slide the top weight plate with weight stack stem onto the two guide rods and lower the
stem through the center holes of the weight plates.
6. If the cable assembly is attached to the top weight plate, then unscrew it and remove it at
this time. Slide the ring at the end of the tether of the weight selection pin over the right-hand
post on the top weight plate.
7. Secure the weight stack assembly to the weight tower frame. Slide an O-ring onto the smaller
diameter shoulder of each guide rod locking collar, then slide the collars onto the guide rods
(the smaller diameter shoulder on the collar should be facing up). Re-align the guide rods with
the mounting holes at the top of the weight tower.
8. Have your assistant hold the guide rods in place. Slide the collars up until the shoulder of
each collar fits into the tower frame. Insert one M6 × 45 mm button head cap screw through
the holes in each collar and each guide rod, then attach an M6 nylon lock nut to each button

2. Pull the cable through the top of the weight tower frame and over the top of the center
pulley and under the cable retaining bracket.
3. Pull the cable to the top outside pulley, routing the cable under the cable retaining bracket,
Be sure that the cable retaining brackets do not interfere with the travel of the cable.
Note: The pulleys do not need to be removed.
4. Route the cable under the pulley, through the weight tower upright and under the cam.
Attach the cable to the cam and secure with an M4 x 15 mm screw.
Note: The screw is pre-assembled to the cam. First, remove the screw, install the ball at the
end of the cable into the cable retaining slot on the cam, and replace the screw.

Tighten all frame mounting hardware
Figure 7
1. Check that the weight tower and seat frame are sitting evenly on the floor.
2. Verify that the movement arm is parallel to the floor when it is at rest.
If the movement arm is.... Then...
Parallel to the floor Skip to step 9.
Not parallel to the floor Continue with step 3.
3. Loosen the three bolts attaching the cam support plate to the weight tower.
4. Loosen the bolts attaching the two pillow-block bearings.
5. While your assistant holds the movement arm parallel to the floor, tighten the bolts securing
the pillow-block bearing on the pivot support.
Note: Your assistant should continue to hold the movement arm parallel to the floor until you
complete step 8.
6. Tighten the bolts securing the pillow-block bearing on the cam support plate.
7. Tighten the bolts securing the cam support plate to the weight tower.
8. Tighten the mounting hardware securing the cross support to the weight tower.
Note: Your assistant should be able to the release the movement arm. The movement arm
should remain parallel to the floor.

support.
Adjust cable tension
Figure 8
Figure 9: Misaligned
Figure 10: Aligned
Figure 11
1. Place the weight selection pin in the top weight.
2. Screw the cable bolt into the selector stem until the cable meets the following requirements:
— At least seven (7) turns/threads (minimum) of the cable bolt into the weight selector stem.
— A maximum of 1-1/8 inch (29 mm) between the bottom of the cable bolt head and the
bottom of the flange lock nut.
— No excess slack remains.
— The top weight begins to separate from the second weight.
— The cable is just loose enough to permit insertion of the selector in into each of the weight
plates.
CAUTION: At the end of the following step, the locking jam nut must be firmly tightened
against the selector stem.
3. Tighten the locking jam nut against the selector stem.
4. Hold the weight tower straight while tightening the locking jam nut against the selector stem.
If you do not hold the weight tower straight, it can twist (see Figure 9).
Important: Screw the cable bolt into the selector stem until at least seven (7) turns/threads
on the cable bolt extend into the selector stem.
5. Once tightened, verify alignment between the selector and the add-on weight.
6. Check the adjustment by inserting the weight pin into every weight plate hole. The weight pin
should slide easily in and out of each weight plate.

Attach the pads
Figure 12
1. Install the seat pad to the seat post using:
Note: The round end of the seat pad should face forward.
2 – M10 x 40 mm hex head bolt (back end of seat pad)
2 – M10 x 30 mm hex head bolt (front end of seat pad)
4 – 11 mm flat washers
2. Install the back pad to the back pad mounting bracket using:
Note: The narrow end of the seat pad should be positioned at the top.
2 – M10 x 30 mm hex bolts (bottom of back pad)
1 – M10 x 75 mm hex bolts (top of back pad)
3 – 11 mm flat washers
3. Install the roller pad on the movement arm using:
2 – Large aluminum trim washers
1 – Aluminum end cap
1 – M10 x 30 mm flat head cap screw
Install weight stack shroud and top cap
The inside shroud has a slot for weight selection. Both shrouds have three slotted tabs on each side
that fit into the shroud clips mounted to the inside of the weight tower uprights.
Figure 13
1. Align the slotted tabs on the inside shroud with the shroud clips on both sides of the weight
tower.
2. Press the hooks into the clips and lower the shroud securely into place.
3. Repeat steps 1 and 2 to install the outside shroud.
4. Place the top cap on top of the shrouds so that the top edges of the shrouds fit into the slot
between the lip and the ribs of the top cap. Secure the top cap to the weight tower frame using:
4 – M6 x 16 mm pan-head Phillips screws
Note: When you secure the top cap, if the top edges of the shrouds do not fit securely into
the slot between its lip and ribs, remove the cap and the shrouds. Loosen the fasteners
securing each of the shroud clips, then secure each clip again so that it is mounted as high on
the weight stack frame as possible. You will need to push the clips up and hold them in place
while you secure them. After you have repositioned all of the shroud clips, repeat this
procedure to install the shrouds and the top cap.
Bolt equipment to floor
Precor recommends that the strength equipment be bolted down at all anchoring
points. Bolting is made possible through the bolt holes on each foot. The inside
diameter of each hole is 14.3 mm.
NOTE As floor materials vary, it is important to consult a licensed
contractor to advise on proper bolting techniques and appropriate
fastener types.
Figure 14
CAUTION Standards can change. Precor recommends you keep apprised of
your local industry standards. Precor shall not be held liable for failure to
properly bolt the strength equipment to the floor.

Apply labels
Figure 15
1. Attach the Instructional label to the inside shroud under the top cap. The label should be
aligned with the left and right edge of the tray on the top cap. There are small marks on the
lower lip of the top cap to indicate the proper label position.
Verify operation of equipment
Once assembly is complete, verify safe operation by checking the following points:
lCable tension is correct and the cable is moving smoothly on its pulleys.
lMovement arm is stable and moves smoothly through its range of motion.
lAdjustment points are stable and move smoothly through their range of motion.
