STEP 32:

• If upon completion of assembly , the HEAD PLA TE (AK) does not sit on top of the first WEIGHT PLA TE, push the HEAD PLATE (AK)
down, insert the WEIGHT SELECTOR PIN and perform several repetitions at the press station.This will relax the cable system and
prevent the HEAD PLA TE (AK) from lifting up. See FIGURE 32.

• If after completing previous step, the HEAD PLA TE (AK) still does not sit on top of the first WEIGHT PLA TE or if there is excess slack
in the cable system, adjust the threaded end of the LAT CABLE (AV) and FLOATING PULLEY BRACKET (W) accordingly and
retighten the jam nuts. See figure 32.

• For maximum performance, the HEAD PLA TE (AK should just barely sit on the top WEIGHT PLA TE

• Attach the LOW ROW BAR (AM) to the ball end of LAT CABLE (A V) using one SNAP LINK (39) as shown in FIGURE 32.

• Attach the ANKLE STRAP (AU) to the 12 LINK CHAIN (38) using one SNAP LINK (39) as shown in FIGURE 32
