- For best performance of the machine, adjust the Cables so the Selector Stem (Top Plate) on the weight stack is ¼” above the first plate. While pinning the weight stack, push down on the Selector Stem to close up the gap then pin the plates. This will remove the slag in the cable system so the range of motion is smooth and tight.
- Connect the Shiver Bar (#25) to a Long Chain (#31) with a C-clip (#32). Connect the Long Chain to the Lower Cable with another C-clip.
- For best performance of the weight plates, periodically lubricate the two Guide Rods with WD-40 or light oil.
