Weight Pulley

Parts

2 - Weight pulley sides (#16)
2 - Weight pulley side covers (#50)
2 - 1" dowels
1 - Pulley wheel (assembled previously)

Assembly Procedure

1) Glue the weight pulley sides (#16) to the weight pulley side covers (#50), making sure all edges are
aligned.

2) Sand the edges of the two weight pulley side units and apply finish as desired.

3) Verify that the pulley wheel freely spins on the center of at least one of the 1" dowels. Sand the
dowel if necessary to allow the pulley wheel to spin.

4) Glue the two 1" dowels into one of the weight pulley sides.
