Note: DO NOT FULLY TIGHTEN HARDWARE UNTIL STEP 5-B.

1-A: Attach Front Base Bracket - RIGHT [15] and Back Base Bracket - RIGHT [17] to CTM Base Foot - RIGHT [11] using 5/8" x 4.25" Hex Bolts [41], 5/8" Lock Washers [44], and 5/8" Hex Nuts [45].

1-B: Secure the CTM Base Center [12] aligning it with the brackets. Use 5/8" x 4.25" Hex Bolts [41], 5/8" Lock Washers [44], and 5/8" Hex Nuts [45] to fasten the assembly.

1-C: Attach Front Base Bracket - LEFT [14] and Back Base Bracket - LEFT [16] to CTM Base Foot - LEFT [10] using 5/8" x 4.25" Hex Bolts [41], 5/8" Lock Washers [44], and 5/8" Hex Nuts [45].

Note for Rack Attach version: If the Rack Attach version was purchased, skip to Page 12.

STEP 2 (STAND ALONE ONLY)

2-A: Secure CTM Stabilizer Tubes [13] to Base Brackets using 5/8" x 4.25" Hex Bolts [41], 5/8" Lock Washers [44], and 5/8" Hex Nuts [45].

2-B: Secure CTM Rear Upright [2] to CTM Stabilizer Tubes [13] using 1" x 5" Hex Bolts [37], 1" Lock Washer [39], and 1" Hex Nut [40].

STEP 3

3-A (Stand Alone): Attach CTM Bottom Crossmember [3] to CTM Rear Upright [2] using Triangle Plate [18], 5/8" x 4.25" Hex Bolts [41], 5/8" Flat Washer [43], 5/8" Lock Washers [44], and 5/8" Hex Nuts [45]. On center holes use 1" x 5" Hex Bolts [37], 1" Lock Washer [39], and 1" Hex Nut [40].

3-A (Rack Attach): Attach CTM Bottom Crossmember [3] to Rack Upright using 1" x 5" Hex Bolts [37], 1" Flat Washer [38], 1" Lock Washer [39], and 1" Hex Nut [40]. Note: DO NOT FULLY TIGHTEN.

3-B: For ease of assembly, remove the Footplate from CTM Low Row [28]. Secure CTM Front Upright [1] between CTM Bottom Crossmember [3] and CTM Low Row [28] using 5/8" x 4.5" Hex Bolts [42], 5/8" Lock Washers [44], and 5/8" Hex Nuts [45].

Note: Only a single existing Upright is shown in the diagram for the Rack Attach version.

STEP 4

Note: Stand Alone version is shown for the remainder of the instructions; the same assembly applies for Rack Attach.

4-A: Secure the Pulley Swivel to the Trolley using the preinstalled hardware included with the Pulley Swivel. Tighten until there is light friction in the joint, while still allowing the Pulley Swivel to hinge freely.

4-B: While pulling the handle triggers, slide Swivel Trolley [8] onto CTM Front Uprights [1]. Slide about halfway down the Upright and release triggers to lock pop pins in place when the viewing window shows number 25.

STEP 5

5-A: Attach CTM Top Crossmember [9] to uprights using 1" x 5" Hex Bolts [37], 1" Flat Washer [38], 1" Lock Washer [39], and 1" Hex Nut [40]. Ensure the endplate of the CTM Top Crossmember is flush with the top of the CTM Rear Upright.

Note: Hole cutout locations on the CTM Top Crossmember may vary depending on Rack Attached versus Stand Alone.

5-B: Tighten all hardware on the tower in order from 1 to 4, as shown in the diagram.

STEP 6

Tools Required: 7/32" Allen Key, 9/16" Wrench

6-A: The Swivel Trolley needs to be calibrated for your specific rack. Keeping the Swivel Trolley locked in place, tighten the Button Head Screws shown in the diagram using the 7/32" Allen Key until looseness or "wobble" is gone.

6-B: Unlock pop pins and roll Trolley up and down the Upright several inches to feel tightness. If wobble persists, tighten the Screws in 6-A again. If any friction is felt, the Trolley is too tight and the Screws should be loosened a quarter turn.

6-C: Once calibrated, tighten both rollers on the rear of the Trolley using the Allen Key and Wrench.

CABLE MAINTENANCE

Over time, the cables within the system may experience some normal inelastic stretching. Follow the below instructions to re-tighten the cables.

STEP 1

Tools Required: Multi Tool

Tighten both Trolley Cable bolt heads up towards the stop blocks on Swivel Trolleys. If cable system is tight, no further calibration is needed.

STEP 2

Tools Required: Multi Tool, 7/32" Allen Key

Remove the Shroud. Remove Cable Retainers and hardware from Side Peanut Pulley and move pulley up by one hole. Re-adjust the height of the Trolley Cable Bolts to calibrate the cable tightness. If slack persists, perform the same pulley relocation on the Left Side Peanut Pulley. Recalibrate the Trolley cable bolts and check cable tightness.

If slack is still present, continue repeating process, alternating between the Left and Right Side Peanut Pulleys, raising the pulley by one hole until the whole cable system is taut but not suspending the plate load carriage above its stop blocks.

Note: If installing pulley on the uppermost hole of the Side Peanut Pulleys, the lower Cable Retainers are not needed.

INCLUDED MONSTER STRIP

Note: Hardware and tools not included for installing Monster Strips [50].

Mounting Recommendations: 3/8" x 2-1/2" Wood Lag Screws and 3/8" Flat Washers are recommended if mounting Strip to wall or wood stud. A 15/64" Diameter drill bit is recommended if using 3/8" Lag Screws.

Installation Steps:

1. Identify stud in wall and mark desired height of top hole. Drill pilot hole in marked location.
2. Put thread-side of screw through washer then screw through top hole at the back of the Strip into wall until wood, but do not fully tighten.
3. Let strip hang and ensure it is square using a level, then mark locations of the remaining holes.
4. Hold strip to the side as shown in the diagram and drill pilot holes in the marked locations.
5. Put thread side of screw through the washer then screw through bottom 3/8" hole in back of Strip into the wall loosely.
6. Screw in the remaining two Lag Screws and fully tighten all screws.

Important Considerations:

• If attempting to secure Strip to concrete or other material, the buyer is responsible for using correct hardware.
• It is the buyer's responsibility to install strip in a location and with hardware capable of supporting the aggregate weight of strip, all gear mounted or stored, and any person using it.
• If you are not confident in your mechanical skills, please seek the help of a professional to perform the installation.
