Assembly Instructions
Step 1: Pulley Swivel and Trolley Attachment
- Secure the Pulley Swivel to the Trolley using the pre-installed hardware. Tighten until there is light friction, allowing the Pulley Swivel to hinge freely. Ensure the Pulley Swivel is oriented correctly.
- Slide Swivel Trolley RH [8] and Swivel Trolley LH [9] onto two Monster Uprights [1]. Note the orientation of the trolleys relative to the feet at the bottom of the uprights.
- Slide halfway down the upright and release triggers to lock pop pins when the viewing window shows number 23.
Step 2: Upright and Crossmember Connection
- If modifying an existing rack with an Add-On Kit, skip to Step 5.
- Plan assembly and ensure ample floor space. Lay out parts on a non-abrasive surface.
- Position the footplates of the uprights approximately 55" apart.
- Connect Uprights to Crossmembers using 1" x 4.75" 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 in place of the bottom Flat Washers on the Uprights.
- DO NOT FULLY TIGHTEN hardware yet. Keep it loose for the remainder of the installation.
Step 3: Standing the 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.
- One or two people should stabilize both panels while another person assembles the spanning crossmember in Step 4.
Step 4: Spanning Crossmember Assembly
- Attach the Nameplate Crossmember [3] to the rear Uprights using 1" x 4.75" 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 4.75" 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 [29, 30] using the 3/8" Allen Key. DO NOT TIGHTEN HEX BOLTS.
Step 5: Add-On Kit Installation
- LOOSEN BUT DO NOT REMOVE all 1" hardware on the entire rack.
- Remove the Pull-up Bar and its hardware from the front of the rack and set aside.
- Remove additional 1" crossmember hardware shown to free the tops of the front uprights. Loosen bottom Front Upright hardware as needed to provide ample slack.
- While tilting an 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 down and release triggers when the viewing window shows number 23.
- Reassemble the hardware removed earlier, 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: Swivel Trolley Calibration
- Keep the Swivel Trolleys locked in place. Tighten the Button Head Screws [6-A] using the 7/32" Allen Key until looseness or wobble 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 Wrench.
Step 7: Weight Stack Shroud Brackets and Spacers
- Attach Weight Stack Shroud Brackets [39] and Bottom Weight Stack Spacers [16] to the 24" Low Crossmembers [5] using 1" x 4.75" Hex Bolts [31], 1" x 5" Hex Bolts [32], 1" Flat Washers [35], 1" Lock Washers [36], and 1" Hex Nuts [37].

Step 8: Weight Stack Bumpers and Guide Rods
- Place Weight Stack Bumpers [18] over the outer 1" holes on the Weight Stack Spacer.
- Insert Guide Rods [12] until they rest on top of the 24" Low Crossmember. Allow guide rods to angle outward while completing the weight stack assembly.
Step 9: Weight Stack Assembly
- This step is best accomplished with two or three people.
- Carefully stack all included 10LB Weight Stack Plates [14] down the Guide Rods [12], one at a time. Do not 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: Top Spacers and Shroud Brackets
- Slide Top Weight Stack Spacers [17] onto the guide rods with notches oriented towards the rear of the rack.

- Fully tighten the 3/8" Pulley and Cable Retainer hardware.
Step 13: Top Side Pulley Assembly Attachment
- Bolt the Top Side Pulley Assembly - RH [19] and -LH [20] to the 24" 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 (Optional)
- If the Shroud Kit was not purchased, proceed to Step 15.
- Attach Backing Plate [48] to Weight Stack Nameplate Shrouds [42] using 1/4" x 3/8" Button Head Screws [49] and 1/4" Nylock Nuts [50].

Step 17: Trolley Cable Routing (Part 2)
- Continue feeding the cable around the first pulley on the Indy Top Pulley Bracket, following the arrow directions 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: Trolley Cable Routing (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.

Cable Maintenance
Over time, the cables within the system may experience some normal inelastic stretching. Follow the instructions below to re-tighten the cables.
Step 1: Tighten Cables
- 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.
