In this step, you

will install the press arm
(E), along with the press
adjustment plate (F) to the machine.
(large 1/2” i.d. washer, Qty: 1, and 1/2-13 X 1 button head screws, Qty: 2).
Begin by placing the press adjustment plate onto the press arm such that
the latch pin is in one of the notches and the large hole is over the post on
the end of the press arm. Next place one of the bolts through the ball bearing
installed in the main column frame member (D). Thread the washer onto this
bolt. Now position the press arm assembly according to the diagram and
thread this bolt into the internally thread post mentioned above. Insert the
second bolt through the bearing at the top of the press post (B) and into the

press arm assembly. The press adjustment
plate should be supported in a “V” shaped
notch in the main column frame member.
Tighten the two bolts installed in this step
very tight with a 5/16” hex key.

member (C) to press post (B) (3/8-16
X 1/2 hex screw, Qty: 4). To do this,
first route the cable exiting the side
of the press post (B) into the frame
member, down its length, around the
pulley (#11) and out. To do this it will
be necessary to temporarily remove
the pulley. Ensure that the pulley bolt

is very tight after reinstalling it. Leave the four bolts connecting the frame
member to the press post a little loose, until told to tighten them later in
these instructions. (Note: any pulley numbers mentioned in the text or shown
on these drawings correspond with the cable diagram on the other side of
this manual. Refer to that diagram as necessary during the assembly process
if you’d like another perspective.)

Now attach main column frame member (D) to press station frame

member (C) (3/8-16 X 1/2 hex screw, Qty: 3).

FIG. 2

Now route the cable emerging from

the press station frame member (C) as
follows: first route it around one pulley
(#12) of the double moving pulley unit (G),
next it goes under pulley #13, over pulley
#14, and then down into the main column
frame member (D) and around pulley #15.
It needs to continue along the length of
this frame member and exit through the
large round hole in the bracket welded on
its end. Place the double moving pulley
unit (G) on the floor for now.

In preparation for

attaching the stack column (I)
to the two frame members,
place the guide rods inside.
First, place a rubber bumper
(located inside of the top plate
hardware box) around the end
of each guide rod at the end
that does not have the bolt. The
two guide rods now go into the
open back of the stack column
such that the end with the rubber
bumper ends up on a locator tube
at the base of the column.

IMPORTANT:

The guide rods

need to be in stack column (I) now because ceiling height might make later
insertion difficult or impossible. Now assemble the stack column (I) to the
frame members (C & D). (3/8-16 X 1/2 hex screws, qty: 4) Because the stack
column needs to be held off the ground to align the holes, placing 3 or 4 layers
of scrap cardboard under the stack column on the floor will save time and
effort. At this stage you may tighten the stack column bolts and the bolts that
hold the two frame members to each other.

Now install right butterfly arm (J) (arm closest to stack column) on

its vertical pivot bar. The right arm is the one with the spring mounted flipper
and related assembly at the lowest point on the arm. The right cam (K) is the
cam with the bushing supported by the shortest connector. Slip the cam over
the assembly that holds the spring mounted flipper, such that the flipper
engages the notches on the underside of the cam and such that the bushings
all line up. Now slide the two items as one up the pivot shaft. Install 1”
washer and then cotter pin, bend end. Repeat this process for the left arm
(L) and cam (M). Test the ratcheting system at this point. If any problems are
suspected, look up into the ratcheting mechanism from below. If the spring
mounted flipper is not in the notched section, take the cam and arm off the
pivot and after getting the flipper in the right area, reinstall the cam and arm
as an assembly.
