INSTALLING/REMOVING THE PUSH THROUGH BAR
(PTB) 4TH SIDE
Using the provided 7/32” allen wrench and button head screws
with pin ends, move the PTB to a 45 degree position. Line up
the 4th side opening with the threaded holes in the PTB. Thread
in one screw into the side of the PTB, the pin end of the screw
will go inside the 4th side. Repeat for the other side. Tighten
both screws with the allen wrench. Reverse these instructions to
remove the 4th side. Keep these button head screws if needed
later.
HOW TO ADJUST YOUR SLIDING PUSH THROUGH BAR
Position your hands on the outside of each slider. Place your
middle and/or ring fingers under the silver base of the knob; right
where the black body of the knob threads into. Place your index
finger and thumb around the knob itself. Pull each of the knobs
outwards, away from the vertical tubes, until they stop. Using the
same force on each arm, move the slider upwards or downwards
to each new location. Once you near a new location slightly
release the outward pull of the knobs. The pins will automatically
fall into the next position when aligned.
WEEKLY MAINTENANCE
Inspect springs for separations, and replace if needed. Inspect
snaps on springs and make sure the retractors operate smoothly.
Replace them if worn or do not operate freely. Make sure that
there are no indentations on the inside of the hooks.
Inspect all nuts, eyebolts and setscrews for tightness. Tighten or
replace if necessary.
It is recommended to check to ensure the pins in the plunger
knobs protrude and lock into the vertical tubes. First 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.
