ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS

STEP 1

A. Make sure any packing material or supports are removed from the frames prior to assembly. Start by placing the Right Main Frame (6) in the vertical position. Having a second person to hold the frame is helpful or you can possibly lean the frame against a wall. Insert two M10x75mm Hex Bolts (39) through the bottom Lower Crossbar (1) into the back of the Right Main Frame (6), using M10 Flat Washers (43) on both sides and M10 Locknuts (42) hand tightened. Next insert two M10x90mm Hex Bolts (40) into the side of the bottom Lower Crossbar (1) and Right Main Frame (6), using M10 Flat Washers (43) on both sides and M10 Locknuts (42) hand tightened.
B. Place the Left Main Frame (5) in the vertical position and align it with the lower rear Lower Crossbar (1). Insert the hardware as described in the step above.
C. Repeat the steps above to attach the Upper Crossbar (2) to the Right and Left Main Frames (6) (5) similar to the lower Lower Crossbar (1) steps.

SFS

STEP 2

Place the Pull-up Crossbar (3) in position between the two main frames and insert four M10x75mm Hex Bolts (39) with M10 Flat Washers (43) through each main frame. Place M10 Flat Washers (43) and M10 Locknuts (42) onto the bolts.

STEP 3

Lock the sliding carriages on the lowest (number 1) position. Place the Smith Bar (4) in between the rail slide mounts of the frame. Make sure the through hole on the tabs of the bar is positioned as shown. Insert the Smith Bar Pins (22) through both the Right, Left Smith Bar Sliders (60), (62) and into either end of the Smith Bar (4). Use four M6 Allen Head Screws (47) on both sides to secure the Smith Bar Pins (22) to the Smith Bar Sliders (60), (62). Next place the plastic Smith Bar End Caps (37) over the Smith Bar Pins (22) and secure with one MSx14mm Phillips Head Screw (50) per side. Make sure the machine is on level ground and proceed to tighten all hardware installed in steps 1-3. Adjust the two rear feet if needed to level the machine after tightening the hardware.

STEP 4

A. Thread the Weight Stack Pulley (14) into the top of both the Top Plate Assembly (8), leave about a 14 inch of thread.
B. Insert the Weight Stack Guide Rods (7) through the holes in the bottom of the frame. Be sure the ends of the rods with the holes are facing down, and do your best to align them with the holes in the frame. Then slide one Weight Stack riser (69) and one Rubber Bumper (9) down each of the guide rods.
C. Let the the Weight Stack Guide Rods (7) rest at an angle in the frame. Using the provided lubricant, spread the liquid up and down the guide rods. Then slide on 15 Weight Stack Plates (9) with the sticker cut out facing towards the inside of the machine and the protruding pads on the weights facing downward. Next slide on the Top Plate Assembly (8) assembly. Slide on the Guide Rod Bushings (10), one on each rod, the tapered end of the bushing points downward. Repeat this step for the opposite side.

STEP 4 (Continued)

D. Make sure the cable that runs from either side of the frame is positioned between the two guide rods. Carefully pull the guide rods toward each other, then slide the Guide Rod Bushings (10) up into the larger hole of the frame until the slot of the bushing is resting in the frame. Next pull the bushings along with the rods away from each other so that the bushings slide into the smaller hole of the frame, thus locking them in place. The guide rods should be parallel to one another at this point.
E. Slide the Weight Stack Guide Rods (7) up so that the holes in the bottom of the rods align with the holes in the bottom of the frame. Insert two M10x115mm Hex Bolts (41) with M10 Flat Washers (43) through the frame and holes in the bottom of the rods. Place M10 Flat Washers (43) and M10 Locknuts (42) onto the bolts and tighten them. Repeat this step for the opposite side.

STEP 5

A. Route the cable as shown. Remove the pulley from the Weight Stack Pulley (14) assembly in order to route the cable into it, leave the hardware loose.
B. Adjust the cable tension by rotating the cam bolt until the Top Plate Assembly (8) starts lifting slightly from the weight stack. Tighten the nut of the cam bolt to lock its position. Then tighten the jam nut at the base of the pulley.

Position the pulley to be perpendicular to the guide rods.

STEP 6

Bolt the smith bar hooks to each side of the main frames. The Right Smith Bar Hook (35) is the mount with the locking pin, the Left Smith Bar Hook (36) is the mount without the pin. Use three M8x16 Buttonhead Cap Screws (44) with M8 Washers (45) per hook to attach to them to the frame as shown.

WARNING

Securely lock the Smith Bar in the storage position whenever it is not in use. Be sure to use the lock pin.

STEP 7

Install the Outer Right Plastic Cover (18), and Inner Right Plastic Cover (19) as shown. Carefully align and press on the covers until they clip into place. Repeat this step with the Outer Left Plastic Cover (21) and Inner Left Plastic Cover (20).

Right Side Left Side

STEP 8

There are three different widths of weight stack shrouds. The widest Shroud (17) is placed on the outside facing part of the weight stack, the Medium (17) and Narrow (17) width shrouds are placed together on the inside, with the smaller placed toward the back of the machine. The mounting plates for them will be marked identifying the Top Shroud Plate (15), Bottom Shroud Plate (16) and the forward direction of them, slide the plates through the pockets of the shrouds. Before applying the inner shrouds, apply the weight plate stickers. The number 1 sticker will go on the top plate, but we recommend that you start with the number 2 sticker. Place the number two sticker on the first weight plate. Then, apply the number 1 to the top weight plate assembly, using the #2 sticker to align it properly. Finish applying the stickers through #16. Secure the weight shrouds with M8 x 16mm Button Head Cap Screw (44) with M8 Washers (45) through the mount plates to the frame.

STEP 9

A. Place the Accessory Rack (31) on right side of the Upper Crossbar (2). Insert two M10 x 75mm Hex Bolts (39) with M10 Flat Washers (43) through the rack and crossbar. Place M10 Flat Washers (43) and M10 Locknuts (42) onto the bolts. Tighten the hardware.
B. Place the Accessory Rack #2 (31) on Left side of the Inside of the Upper Crossbar (2). On the back side of the tube, Place the Bench Mount (33) Insert two M10 x 75mm Hex Bolts (39) with M10 Flat Washers (43) through the rack and crossbar. Place M10 Flat Washers (43) and M10 Locknuts (42) onto the bolts. Tighten the hardware.
C. Mount the Tablet Mount (12) in the middle of the Upper Crossbar (2). Insert two M10 x 75mm Hex Bolts (39) with M10 Flat Washers (43) through the mount and Upper Crossbar (2). Place M10 Flat Washers (43) and M10 Locknuts (42) onto the bolts, tighten the hardware. Place the Tablet Holder on to its mount and secure with a M6x75mm Allen Head Cap Screw (46) and M6 Locknut (49), using M6 Washers (48) on both sides. Tighten hardware until tablet holder holds its position but can still be tilted up and down by hand. Note: The Tablet holder mount can be bolted up or down depending on if you want the tablet holder higher or lower.
D. Place the Cup Holder (34) on the left side Upper Crossbar (2), insert one Bolt (44) with a Flat Washers (43) through the hole to fasten in place.
