6. Loosen the four set screws on the pre-assembled 1.25" SHAFT COLLARS (C) located at the top
of the SIDE FRAMES.
7. With the help of another person and the LIFT BAR ASSEMBLY (D) oriented as shown, position
it near the bottom of the GUIDE RODS (E). Lift both GUIDE RODS up through the top of the
SIDE FRAMES. Hang the LIFT BAR ASSEMBLY on the third LIFT BAR RACK (A) hook.
8. Making sure the SHAFT COLLAR and BUMPER remain above the CARRIAGE, insert one GUIDE
ROD into CARRIAGE of the LIFT BAR ASSEMBLY.
9. Slide one BAR STOP (17) on the GUIDE ROD (E) and slide the GUIDE ROD back inside SIDE
FRAME.
NOTE: Make sure the warning label faces inward when assembling the BAR STOP (17) on the
GUIDE ROD (E)
10. Repeat steps 9 & 10 for to assemble remaining GUIDE ROD to the LIFT BAR ASSEMBLY.
11. Adjust the machine so the measured distance between inside faces of the LIFT BAR RACKS
(A), both top and bottom, is 48 13/16 to 49 5/16 inches (123.98 to 125.25 cm). Tighten all
BOLTS and NUTS securely.
12. Thread the one JAM NUT (18) fully onto each of the CABLE (19) ends. Thread one ROD END
(20) onto each of the CABLE ends approximately ½". DO NOT TIGHTEN JAM NUT.
13. Attach one ROD END (20) to each of the CARRIAGES using one M10 X 40mm BOLT (21), one
ROD END SPACER (22), and one M10 HEX NYLOCK NUT (10) per side. Tighten the NUTS
securely.
14. Cycle the LIFT BAR up and down. There must not be any banging of the COUNTER-WEIGHTS
located inside the large front tubes at either the top or the bottom of the cycle.
The Product MUST pass BOTH of the following criteria:
A. With the LIFT BAR at its topmost position (CARRIAGES against BUMP STOPS) both
CABLES need to be in tension.
If the cable is not tensioned, screw the loose CABLE into ROD END until the
cable is taut. Re-cycle the lift bar and recheck the cable tension. When cable is
properly tensioned, proceed to criteria B.
B. Position the LIFT BAR at its bottommost position (LIFT BAR and BAR STOPS not
engaging LIFT BAR RACKS). Be sure both BAR STOPS are resting on the SIDE
FRAMES and both CARRIAGES are resting on the BAR STOPS.
Ensure that the cable is not too tight by slight pulling down on the CABLE while
holding the LIFT BAR firmly at its bottommost position. The cable should move
slightly; approximately ¼ to ½ inch.
If the cable is too tight, unscrew the tight CABLE out of the ROD END making
sure a minimum of three threads are engaged.
C. If both above criteria cannot be satisfied,
see Counterweight Cable Adjustment.
