Assembly Instructions
- Step 1: Prepare Swivel Trolleys
Secure the Pulley Swivel to the Trolley using pre-installed hardware. Tighten until there is light friction, allowing the swivel to hinge freely. Ensure the Pulley Swivel is oriented correctly. Slide Swivel Trolley RH [19] and Swivel Trolley LH [20] onto two Monster Uprights [1]. Note the orientation of the trolleys relative to the feet at the bottom of the uprights. Slide them halfway down the uprights and release triggers to lock pop pins when the viewing window shows '23'. - Step 2: Connect Uprights and Crossmembers
If modifying an existing rack with an Add-On Kit, skip to Step 5. Plan assembly, ensuring ample floor space. Lay out all parts. Position the footplates of the uprights approximately 55" apart. Connect the Uprights to the Crossmembers using 1" x 4-3/4" Hex Bolts [31], 1" Flat Washers [35], 1" Lock Washers [36], and 1" Hex Nuts [37]. If Half Rack Feet [9] were purchased, install them at the bottom of the Uprights. DO NOT FULLY TIGHTEN hardware; keep it loose for the remainder of the installation. - Step 3: Stand Up Panels
For safety, it is recommended that 2 or 3 people complete the remaining steps. Have two people stand one assembled panel upright. One person stabilizes the first panel while another stands up the second panel. Stabilize both panels to prevent them from falling while another person assembles the spanning crossmember in Step 4. - Step 4: Attach Remaining Crossmembers and Pull Up Bar
Attach the Nameplate Crossmember [3] to the rear Uprights using 1" x 4-3/4" Hex Bolts [31], 1" Flat Washers [35], 1" Lock Washers [36], and 1" Hex Nuts [37]. Attach the Pull Up Bar [2] to the front Uprights using 1" x 4-3/4" Hex Bolts [31], 1" Shoulder Bolts [29, 30], 1" Flat Washers [35], 1" Lock Washers [36], and 1" Hex Nuts [37]. Fully tighten the 1" Shoulder Bolts using a 3/8" Allen Key. DO NOT TIGHTEN HEX BOLTS yet. - Step 5: Add-On Kit - Adjust Swivel Trolleys
IMPORTANT: Loosen, but do not remove, all 1" hardware on the entire rack. Remove the Pull-Up Bar and its hardware. Remove additional 1" crossmember hardware from the top of the front uprights to allow them to move freely. Tilt the Upright forward, pull the handle triggers, and slide the LH Swivel Trolley [8] down the front left Upright. Repeat for the RH Swivel Trolley [7] on the front right Upright. Slide them down and release triggers when the viewing window shows '23'. Reassemble hardware, replacing the indicated top outer bolts with 1" Shoulder Bolts [29, 30]. Fully tighten ONLY the 1" Shoulder Bolts using two 3/8" Allen Keys. - Step 6: Calibrate Swivel Trolleys
Unlock pop pins and roll the Trolleys up and down the Uprights several inches to check for tightness. If wobble persists, tighten the Button Head Screws [6-A] using the 7/32" Allen Key until looseness is gone. If any friction is felt, the Trolleys are too tight; loosen the screws a quarter turn. Once calibrated, tighten both rear rollers on the Trolleys using the Allen Key and 9/16" Wrench. - Step 7: Attach Weight Stack Shroud Brackets and Spacers
Attach Weight Stack Shroud Brackets [39] and Bottom Weight Stack Spacers [16] to the 30" Low Crossmembers [5] using 1" x 5" Hex Bolts [32], 1" Flat Washers [35], 1" Lock Washers [36], and 1" Hex Nuts [37]. Ensure the notches on the Bottom Weight Stack Spacers are oriented towards the back of the rack. Shroud Brackets [39] are only included if the shroud kit was purchased. Fully tighten the 1" vertical hardware. - Step 8: Install Weight Stack Bumpers and Guide Rods
Place Weight Stack Bumpers [18] over the outer 1" holes on the Weight Stack Spacer and insert Guide Rods [12] until they rest on the 30" Low Crossmember. Allow guide rods to angle outward while completing the weight stack assembly. - Step 9: Stack Weight Plates
This step is best accomplished with two or three people. Stack all included 10LB Weight Stack Plates [14] one at a time down the Guide Rods [12], being careful not to drop them. Once 28 weights are stacked on each side, slide the Weight Stack Stem [13] down the Guide Rods until it rests on top of the weight stack. Ensure the '20LB' Weight Stack Stickers on the top plate of the Weight Stack Stems are both facing inward towards the middle of the rack. - Step 10: Attach Top Weight Stack Spacers and Shroud Brackets
Slide Top Weight Stack Spacers [17] onto the top of the guide rods with notches oriented towards the rear of the rack. Position Guide Rods vertically. Slide in the Weight Stack Shroud Brackets [39] above the Guide Rods. Attach these components to the 30" Top Crossmembers using 1" x 5" Hex Bolts [32], 1" Flat Washers [35], 1" Lock Washers [36], and 1" Hex Nuts [37]. - Step 11: Disassemble and Position Indy Top Pulley Brackets
Completely disassemble both Indy Top Pulley Brackets [10, 11] as shown. Position the Indy Inside Bracket Plates (RH and LH) onto the top of the crossmember. Insert a 1" x 6" Hex Bolt [33] through the designated hole to temporarily hold the bracket in place. Final securing will occur in Step 12. - Step 12: Attach Indy Top Pulley Brackets and Reinstall Pulleys
Attach the Indy Outside Bracket Plates by inserting the bolt from Step 11-B into the designated hole and secure using a 1" Lock Washer and 1" Hex Nut. HAND TIGHT ONLY. Reinstall Pulleys and Cable Retainers in both Indy Top Pulley Brackets using hardware removed in Step 11-A. Ensure brackets are assembled on the correct side indicated by the 'R' and 'L' on each Bracket Plate. Fully tighten the 3/8" Pulley and Cable Retainer hardware. - Step 13: Attach Top Side Pulley Assemblies
Bolt the Top Side Pulley Assembly - RH [19] and -LH [20] to the 30" Top Crossmembers using 1" x 5" Hex Bolts [32], 1" x 3/8" Pulley Bracket Spacers [34], 1" Flat Washers [35], 1" Lock Washers [36], and 1" Hex Nuts [37] as shown. - Step 14: Shroud Kit Assembly
If the Shroud Kit was not purchased, proceed to Step 15. Attach the Backing Plate [48] to the Weight Stack Nameplate Shrouds [42] using 1/4" x 3/8" Button Head Screws [49] and 1/4" Nylock Nuts [50]. Attach the Weight Stack Nameplate Shrouds [42] to the Weight Stack Shroud Brackets [39] using 1/4" x 5/8" Button Head Screws [47] and fully tighten. - Step 15: Attach Bottom Side Pulley Assemblies
Bolt the Bottom Side Pulley Assembly RH [21] and -LH [22] to the 30" Low Crossmembers using 1" x 4 3/4" Hex Bolts [31], 1" x 5" Hex Bolts [32], 1" x 3/8" Pulley Bracket Spacers [34], 1" Flat Washers [35], 1" Lock Washers [36], and 1" Hex Nuts [37] as shown. - Step 16: Route Trolley Cable (Part 1)
Unwind the cable to remove twists or kinks. Feed the Ball End of the Trolley Cable [6] around the pulleys on the Bottom Front Pulley Assembly (arrows 1 & 2) and continue upward towards the Indy Top Pulley Bracket. If the Shroud Kit was purchased, ensure the cable is routed on the inside of the Nameplate Shroud assembled in Step 14. - Step 17: Route Trolley Cable (Part 2)
Continue feeding the cable around the first pulley on the Indy Top Pulley Bracket, following the arrow indicators towards the back of the rack. Feed the cable around the next angled pulley at the back of the Indy Top Pulley Bracket and downward towards the Weight Stack Stem. Feed the cable around the pulley on the Weight Stack Stem and follow the arrows upward to the Top Side Pulley Assembly. - Step 18: Route Trolley Cable (Part 3)
Feed the cable around the rear pulley in the Top Side Pulley Assembly and continue to the front of the rack. Feed the cable around the front pulley in the Top Side Pulley Assembly and down and out through the Swivel Trolley. - Step 19: Assemble Clevis and Cable End
Completely disassemble the loose Clevis included with the cable by unscrewing the set screws and Split Threaded Insert, and remove the blue tag on the end of the cable. Slide parts over the ball on the cable as shown. Insert the Grommet into the non-threaded side of the Split Threaded Insert and screw the Clevis End onto the threaded side using a 5/8" Wrench. Slide the Plastic Stop forward and align the outer holes with the threaded holes on the Clevis End. Re-insert the Set Screws and fully tighten them. - Step 20: Assemble Second Trolley Cable, Adjust Tension, and Final Tightening
Follow Steps 16-19 again to assemble the remaining Trolley Cable (blue tag) on the Left Hand side of the rack. Screw the bolt ends of the Trolley Cables [6] into the stop block on the back of the Trolleys [7, 8]. Loosen the hex nut if needed to ensure approximately 1/2" of threads are showing between the bolt head and nut. Fully tighten the bottom bolt head. Tighten ALL loose hardware on the entire rack. With no weight selected on the Weight Stack, pull on each clevis to check the cables. If cables are too tight or loose, adjust by loosening or tightening the lower 1/2" Jam Nuts on the back side of the Trolleys [7, 8]. - Step 21: Install Plate Storage Pins
If modifying an existing rack with an add-on kit, skip to 21-B. Place the Key Washer over the Key Nut on the Plate Storage Post. Assemble Plate Storage Pins [25] on the rear Monster Uprights at desired hole heights. Slide Plate Storage Spacers [26] all the way down the Plate Storage Pins with the set screws oriented at the bottom of the Spacers. Fully tighten the set screws using the 1/8" Allen Key. - Step 22: Apply Labels and Attachments
Apply the "Effective Weight" Number Labels on the front of the Weight Stack Plates, approximately 3.5" from the edge. Replace the existing 20lb label on the top plate with the 10lb label. Attach the key ring on the Selector Pin Lanyard [15] to the front hole on the pulley plate of the Weight Stack Stem [13]. Attach Single Handle Attachments [27] to the Swivel Trolleys using the included Carabiners. - Step 23: Shroud Assembly
Attach the Weight Stack Rear Shroud - RH [40] and Weight Stack Rear Shroud - LH [41] on the rear uprights by placing 1" Lock Washers [45] and 1" Hex Nuts [46] through the window cutouts on the shrouds and secure using 1" Flat Washers [44] and 1" x 4-3/4" Hex Bolts [43].
Included Monster Strip
*Hardware and tools are not included for installing Monster Strips [38].
Mounting Recommendations:
- If mounting to a wall or wood stud, 3/8" x 2-1/2" Wood Lag Screws and 3/8" Flat Washers (not included) are recommended.
- A 15/64" Diameter drill bit is recommended if using 3/8" Lag Screws.
Installation Steps:
- Identify a stud in the wall and mark the desired height of the top hole. Drill a pilot hole in the marked location.
- Place a washer on the screw, then screw through the top hole at the back of the Strip into the wall until it engages the wood, but do not fully tighten.
- Let the strip hang and ensure it is square using a level, then mark the locations of the remaining holes.
- Hold the strip to the side and drill pilot holes in the marked locations.
- Place a washer on the screw, then screw through the bottom 3/8" hole in the back of the Strip into the wall loosely.
- Screw in the remaining two Lag Screws and fully tighten all screws.
Important Considerations:
- If attempting to secure the Strip to concrete or other materials, the buyer is responsible for using the correct hardware.
- It is the buyer's responsibility to install the strip in a location and with hardware capable of supporting the aggregate weight of the strip, all gear mounted or stored, and any person using it.
- If you are not confident in your mechanical skills, seek the help of a professional to perform the installation.
Cable Maintenance
Over time, the cables may experience some normal inelastic stretching. Follow the instructions below to re-tighten the cables.
Step 1: Tighten Cable Bolts
Tighten both Trolley Cable bolt heads up towards the stop blocks on the Swivel Trolleys. If the cable system is tight, no further calibration is needed.
