F. Hold the Guide Rods while your assistance replaces
the Selector Stem and Top Weight Assembly.
Important: During reassembly, do not lower the
Guide Rod Bracket more than three inches along
the Guide Rods. Have your assistant hold the
Guide Rods firmly because they can be pulled out
of the Base Bumpers. It is difficult to replace the
Guide Rods in an assembled Weight Stack. If the
Guide Rods become dislodged, you will need to
disassemble the Weight Stack to make sure that
the Guide Rods are seated properly in the Base
Frame.
G. Ask your assistant to hold the Guide Rods while
you check the cables to make sure they are
centered between the Guide Rods. Remove any
twists in the cables.
H. To relieve cable tension, lift the Top Weight
Assembly about a foot above the Weight Stack and
secure the Selector Stem with the Weight Pin.
J. While your assistant continues to hold the Guide
Rods, realign the Bumpers with the cutouts in the
Upper Frame Crosspiece. Replace the Guide Rod
Bracket using two buttonhead screws, three
washers, and one locknut (removed in step 2B).
