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.
