FTS Glide Assembly and Maintenance Guide: Adjusting the Cable and Selector Stem 

17 

 

 

Selector Stem Adjustments 

If the selector stem consistently strikes the inside of the weight stack or is 

misaligned with the weight stack hole, you need to re-center the selector stem. 

You may need to remove the back shroud to perform the procedure. 

To adjust the selector stem: 

1.

 

Remove the weight pin from the weight stack. 

 

Figure 28: Weight pin removal 

2.

 

Pull up the selector stem and place something such as a piece of cardboard 

over the opening in the weight stack to cover it. Rest the selector stem on 

the cover. 

 

Figure 29: Cover opening in weight stack 

 
3.

 

Use the 8 mm hex key to 

loosen 

the socket head bolt located on the 

back 

of 

the top weight assembly.   

Important:

 Do not remove the socket head bolt. 

 

Figure 30: Loosen bolt on top weight assembly 

4.

 

Remove the cover from the opening in the weight stack and lower the 

selector stem so that the top cap assembly rests on the weight stack. 

5.

 

Insert the weight pin into the weight plate hole (at the bottom of the 

weight stack) to lock the selector stem. 

6.

 

Fully tighten the socket head bolt in the center of the top weight assembly. 

7.

 

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 and 

selector stem. 

8.

 

Replace the shroud if necessary. 

 

Attaching the Shrouds to the FTS Glide 

To complete assembly of the FTS Glide, you need to attach the shroud covers 

to the weight stack frames. Please refer to the 

Shroud Assembly Guide

 located 

in the shipping box with your shrouds. 

CAUTION: Do not operate the FTS Glide without the shrouds installed.
