4. Change Weight: To change the weight, remove the selector pin, insert it into the new desired plate, and ensure it is fully engaged.

5. Maintenance

Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and safe operation of your weight stack.

• Cleaning: Wipe down the weight plates and guide rods periodically with a damp cloth to remove dust and sweat. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
• Lubrication: Apply a silicone-based lubricant to the guide rods as recommended by your main equipment's manual to ensure smooth movement of the weight plates. Do not use oil-based lubricants as they can attract dust.
• Inspection: Regularly check the weight plates, selector pin, and any connecting cables or pulleys for signs of wear, cracks, or damage. Replace worn or damaged parts immediately.
• Storage: Store the equipment in a dry, clean environment away from extreme temperatures and direct sunlight.

6. Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your weight stack, refer to the following common problems and solutions:

• Weight Plates Sticking:
  • Ensure guide rods are clean and properly lubricated.
  • Check for any obstructions between plates or on the guide rods.
• Selector Pin Not Engaging:
  • Verify the pin is straight and not bent.
  • Ensure the holes in the weight plates are clear of debris.
  • Confirm the weight stack is correctly aligned with the main equipment.
• Unusual Noises:
  • Inspect all connections and bolts on the main equipment and weight stack for tightness.
  • Check for any loose components or friction points.

If problems persist, contact Body-Solid customer support or your authorized dealer.

7. Specifications

Note: The total weight listed in some product specifications as 200 Kilogram appears to be an error, as the product title and description consistently state 90kg, which aligns with 20 plates of 4.5kg each. The 90kg figure is used here for accuracy.
