C.
Prepare the weight stack.
Slide the guide rods (2) through the weight stacks (1)
as shown below. Place rubber bumpers (3) on the bottoms of each guide rod.
Make sure the pull pin (4) is in the bottom weight plate.
D.
Flip over the weight stacks.
When shipped, the weight stacks have the pull pins
facing upward. You will need to flip the stacks over so that the pull pins are facing
outward when they are loaded onto the machine. Since the pull pins will be facing
downward when they are flipped over, it is recommended that you put the stacks
on a padded carpet to keep the pins from being damaged.
E.
Set the weight stacks onto the machine.
Using a piano dolly, lift the weight
stacks over the bottom plate and set the stacks onto the rubber bumpers with the
plate numbers facing outward. The 300 lb weight stacks need to be facing the
“sides” of the cells (where the benches will be attached- number 8 in Figure 9).
The 190 lb weight stacks will need to be facing the “outsides” and “insides” of the
cells (where the tricep pulley adjustable pulleys will be attached- number 9 in
Figure 9). Make sure the pull pins are facing outward.
C. Prepare the weight stack-
add bumpers to bottom, insert
guide rods, put pull pin in
bottom stack.
D. Flip over the weight stack
onto piano dolly.
E. Hoist the weight
stack onto the machine.
F. With the top plate on the guide rods, bolt on the top plate to the top of the cells as
shown in Figure 11 using a 9/16” socket and combination wrench and the 3” bolts
(with cap washers) that were previously inserted.
Figure 11. Bolt on the top plate.
