have read and understand the information in
the box above.
Press a 50mm Square Outer ap (51) onto each
end of the Stabilizer (5). Press a 50mm Square
Inner ap (27) into the end of the Base (4).

Frame Assembly
•Assembly requires two people.
•Place all parts in a cleared area and remove the
packing materials. Do not dispose of the packing
materials until assembly is completed.
•Tighten all parts as you assemble them, unless
instructed to do otherwise.
•As you assemble the weight system, make sure
all parts are oriented as shown in the drawings.
•For help identifying small parts, use the PART
IDENTIFI ATION HART at the center of this
manual.
The following tools (not included) are required
for assembly:
• Two adjustable wrenches
• One rubber mallet
• One standard screwdriver
• One Philli s screwdriver
• Lubricant, such as grease or etroleum jelly,
and soa y water.
Assembly will be more convenient if you have a

that the weight system can be assembled suc-
cessfully by anyone. However, it is important to
realize that the weight system has many parts
and that the assembly process will take time.
Most people find that by setting aside plenty of
time, assembly will go smoothly.

cables.
IMPORTANT: While assembling the cables, do
not overtighten the bolts and nuts securing
the ulleys. The ulleys must be able to turn
freely.
12. Locate the Long Cable (23). Route the Long
able around the indicated 90mm Pulley (15)
attached to the Top Frame (55). Be sure that the
Cable is between the Pulley and the hook and
that the end of the Cable with the ball is on
the indicated side of the hook. Tighten the M10

Nylon Locknut (21). Be sure that the Long
Cable Tra is ositioned to hold the Cable in
lace.
14. Route the Long able (23) around the “V”-Pulley
(6) on the Left Arm (47). Be sure that the Cable
is in the groove of the Pulley and that the
Long Cable Tra (50) is ositioned to hold the
Cable in lace. Tighten the M10 x 60mm Bolt (7)
