2. GENERAL SPECIFICATIONS
1. Frame Construction
Frame is constructed of mechanical quality steel purchased in mill run quantities
Frame is primarily 2 ½” x 4 ½” oval-shaped tubing with 11 gauge wall thickness.
Movement arms are primarily 1 5/8” x 2 ¾” oval-shaped tubing with 11 gauge wall
thickness
Frames are fully welded (not bolt together) for maximum structural integrity and
minimum maintenance when possible. However, larger machines have bolt-together
configuration to facilitate movement through smaller doorways and difficult
installations
2. Frame Finish
Prior to applying finish, each part is chemically washed to prepare surface for
maximum adhesion
The frames are coated with an electrostatic epoxy powder coat finish applied in a
powder form and then baked at 400° F (204° C.)
To prevent frame and surface corrosion, wax equipment annually and keep away
from salt, chlorine and all other harmful chemicals.
3. Weight Selection
Weights are selected by using a 7/16” selector pin, which completely penetrates the
weight plate and is held in place during use by a magnetic ring to keep the pin from
disengaging.
The selector pin is connected to the top weight to eliminate loss of substitution of
substandard pins
4. Incremental Weight System
Incremental weight system that allows user to increase resistance by 5# increments
(5#, 10#, 15#)
System utilizes a secondary weight stack and is adjustable with a pull and turn of
the dial that is integrated on the top plate of the primary weight stack
5. Weight Plates
Machined from solid, 1” thick steel. Finish is wrinkle gray powder coat. Thickness of
plate is held to precise tolerances by machining the entire upper and lower surfaces.
This results in a better pin fit to the stem.
6. Weight Plate Bushings
Each plate (not just the top weight) will contain low friction bushings, which surround
the guide rods to minimize friction and noise
