3. Using a 5/8” socket with long extension and combination wrench, bolt on the
connecting beam to the cubes using two of the large 7/16” x 6” bolts, 7/16” washers,
and 7/16” nuts, end cap washers and end caps. Figure 6 shows the connected cubes.
You will need to remove the pulleys from the teardrop pulley assemblies to gain

HARDWARE section) to the cells by inserting two of the large 7/16” by 6” bolts using
the hardware configuration shown in Figure 8. Mount the 29” tricep top (part U in
HARDWARE section) and adjustable crossover top (part V in HARDWARE section)
to the frame and connecting beam (See Figure 7). You will need to remove the
teardrop pulleys from their housings to gain clearance for the socket extension used
to tighten the bolts on the tops. Use a 9/16” socket and combination wrench to do
this.
