Hold the guide rods while your assistance replaces the selector stem and
top weight assembly.
Important:
During reassembly, do not lower the guide rod bracket more than
three inches along the guide rods. Have your assistant hold the guide rods firmly
because they can be pulled out of the base bumpers.
Note:
It is difficult to replace the guide rods in an assembled weight stack.
If the guide rods become dislodged, you will need to disassemble the
weight stack to make sure that the guide rods are seated properly in the
base frame.
