Assembly Instructions
3.
Assemble the press arm support (A) to the main frame (B).
(3/8-16 x 1/2 hex screws, qty. 4).
FIG. 1.
4.
In preparation for threading the cable, position the main column (C) on the right of the main frame (B), and the leg/ab station (D) on the left. Lay these
parts down as shown in
FIG. 1
to prevent them from falling over. You may tilt the main frame (B) on its left side to simplify cable routing. Now route the long
cable from the base of the main column (C) into the opening on the right of the main frame (B) around the nearest pulley #13 and up out of the frame. The cable
goes around the press arm pulley #14 such that the bolt head of the press arm pulley (E) is toward the bench, and then back down into the main frame (B) going
around the other of the two pulleys #15. The cable goes through the frame and exits out the opening near the leg/ab station (D). The cable enters the base of
the leg/ab station (D) through an opening in the bracket and goes under pulley #16 found there. There is a "cable-keeper" at this pulley. It is a small piece of
steel about the diameter of a pencil. It is
VERY IMPORTANT
that the cable go between the pulley and this "cable-keeper." Now the cable goes around the
lower pulley#17 of the suspended pair of pulleys, front to back. Refer to
FIG. 1
and
Cable Diagram
elsewhere in this manual.
Going around this pulley in
the correct direction without the cable twisted is VERY IMPORTANT.
This cable next passes under pulley #18 and exits the column as shown.
5.
In preparation for attaching the stack column (F) to the main frame (B), make sure that the rear of the main frame is 2 to 3 feet from the wall. The stack
column should have the guide rods (G) in place with the rubber bumpers (H) at the bottom and the screws up.
IMPORTANT:
The guide rods need to be in now
because ceiling height might make later insertion difficult or impossible.
FIG. 2.
6.
Stand the stack column (F) up forward of its final position. The rockers at its base go under the spring loaded positioning pins that protrude horizontally
above the felt. Place the rear of the rockers under these pins and work the column back carefully so as not to scratch the frame. Leave the factory installed
frame protectors in place throughout this step.
FIG. 2.
The positioning pins have
to rise and snap into the notches provided at the base of the stack column (F).
Because the springs holding down the pins are stiff, a fair amount of force is
required. For the last two inches, tilting the stack column (F) toward the press
arm support (A) helps by making the ramps less steep.
Pop one side in at a time.
FIG. 3.
(If disassembly is someday
necessary, it is accomplished
by prying up on these
horizontal pins with a
very long screw driver
while pulling the
bottom of the stack
column (F) forward.)
Retain the frame
protectors for future
disassembly/
reassembly.

1.
Select location for your machine. Set machine up in a well lighted and well ventilated
area where you will enjoy exercising. Use rubber floor matting or carpet remnants to protect
your floor if desired.
2.
Unbox entire unit, taking care to not bang parts together lifting them from their foam
supports.
(NOTE: LEAVE ALL CABLE RETAINERS IN PLACE.)
Lay large items, such as
the main column down until needed to prevent them from accidentally falling over. To make assembly as easy as possible, many cables are pre-routed at the
factory. Route and attach cables when the instructions call for it. After routing any cable, resecure it to prevent it from coming unrouted before going on. Some
bolts should be tightened very tight only after the instructions say to do so. All bolts should be tight at the end of assembly.
Tools Required:
Wrenches: One each (7/16”, 1/2”), two each (9/16”)
Hex Keys: 5/16”
