HOW TO INSPECT AND TIGHTEN NUTS AND BOLTS.
Use your fi ngers to check nuts and bolts
for tightness.
If you can turn the nut or
bolt with your fi ngers, it’s too loose and
should be tightened. To tighten, fi rst
tighten using your fi ngers. Rotate nuts
and bolts clockwise to tighten. Insert
a screwdriver through eyebolts to hold
them steady while you tighten the nuts.
Then use a small wrench to tighten the
nuts further.
Figure 9 .
It is recommended to check the pins on the PTB protrude
and lock into the vertical tubes appropriately. To verify their
function, fi rst pull both knobs out and start moving the sliders
to a different position. Release the knobs before the next hole
and continue to slide the system. Once over a hole the pin of
the knob will drop into the opening. Once each slider is in a new
position apply a down force on the PTB directly downwards. The
pins of the sliders should not come out of the holes. If the pins
do not stay in the tube holes, the pull knobs need to be replaced;
call Balanced Body for replacement parts.
