Bracket (#14) previously installed in Step-5. Repeat Step G above to install a
Pulley.

J.) Draw the Cable around the Pulley then pull downward to the bracket on the rear

of Main Base Frame. Attach the Cable to a 6-Joint Chain (#29) using a Hook
(#32). Secure the other end of the Chain to the bracket with a M10 x 1” Allen
Bolt (#72), two ∅ ¾” Washers (#79) and one M10 Aircraft Nut (#82).

K.) Use the length of the Chain to adjust the tension of the Cable Loop System. If

the Cables are too loose, shorten the Chain.

L.) Attach the 15-Joint Chain (#31) to the end of the Cable by using a Hook. Attach

the Arm Curl Handle (#12) to the Chain by using another Hook. Replace Arm
Curl Handle with the Ankle Strap (#61) for various Leg exercises. Adjust the
length of Chain to obtain the desired exercise. Remove the Arm Curl Handle and
Ankle Strap when using the Leg Developer.

friction on the Rods so the weight plates can slide up and down on the rods more
freely.
