Assembly Instructions
STEP 1: Prepare Swivel Trolleys
Tools Required: 3/8" Allen Key, Multi Tool
- Secure the Pulley Swivel to the Trolley using the pre-installed hardware. Tighten until there is light friction in the joint, allowing the Pulley Swivel to hinge freely. Ensure the Pulley Swivel is oriented correctly.
- While pulling the handle triggers, slide Swivel Trolley RH [7] and Swivel Trolley LH [8] onto two Monster Uprights [1].
- Note the orientation of Swivel Trolleys in relation to the feet at the bottom of the uprights.
- Slide the trolleys about halfway down the uprights and release the triggers to lock the pop pins in place when the viewing window shows the number '23'.
STEP 2: Assemble Base Frame
Note: If modifying an existing rack with an Add-On Kit, skip Steps 2-4 and proceed to STEP 5.
Instructions:
- Refer to the overview image to plan assembly and ensure ample floor space is allocated.
- Lay down all parts on a non-abrasive surface in the shown orientation.
- Position the footplates of the uprights approximately 55 inches apart.
- Note the orientation of Swivel Trolleys and Upright feet in relation to the ground.
- Connect Uprights [1] to Crossmembers [4, 5] 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 Flat Washers on the bottom of the Uprights as shown in detail views.
- DO NOT FULLY TIGHTEN. Rack hardware should remain loose during the remainder of the installation.
STEP 3: Stand Up Panels
IMPORTANT: For safety, we recommend the remainder of these instructions be completed by 2 or 3 people.
- Have two people stand one assembled panel upright.
- One person stabilizes the first panel while another person stands up the second panel.
- One or two people should stabilize both panels, ensuring they don't fall, while another person assembles the spanning Crossmember in STEP 4.
STEP 4: Attach Spanning Crossmembers
- Attach the Nameplate Crossmember [3] to the rear Uprights [1] 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 [1] 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 the Hex Bolts [31] at this stage.
STEP 5: Add-On Kit Installation (If Applicable)
IMPORTANT: LOOSEN BUT DO NOT REMOVE ALL 1" HARDWARE ON THE ENTIRE RACK.
Tools Required: 1-1/2" Wrench
- Remove the Pull-up Bar and its hardware from the front of the rack and set parts aside.
- Remove additional 1" crossmember hardware shown in the diagram (5-A) so that the tops of the front uprights are completely free to move.
- Note: The tops of the front uprights will need ample slack to complete the next step. Continue to loosen hardware on the bottom of the Front Uprights as needed.
- While tilting an Upright forward, pull the handle triggers and slide the LH Swivel Trolley [8] down the front left Upright.
- Repeat this process to assemble the RH Swivel Trolley [7] on the front right Upright.
- Slide the trolleys down the uprights and release the triggers when the viewing window shows the number '23' (refer to STEP 1-C).
- Assemble the hardware removed in 5-A, 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
Tools Required: 7/32" Allen Key, 9/16" Wrench
- Unlock pop pins and roll the Swivel Trolleys [7, 8] up and down the Uprights [1] several inches to feel for tightness.
- Keeping the Swivel Trolleys locked in place, tighten the Button Head Screws shown in diagram 6-A using the 7/32" Allen Key until looseness or "wobble" is gone.
- If any friction is felt, the Trolleys are too tight, and the Screws should be loosened a quarter turn.
- Once calibrated, tighten both rear rollers on the back of the Trolleys using the Allen Key and Wrench.
STEP 7: Attach Weight Stack Spacers and Shroud Brackets
Tools Required: 1-1/2" Wrench
- 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].
- Note: Ensure notches on Bottom Weight Stack Spacers [16] are oriented towards the back of the rack.

- Place a washer onto the screw thread, then screw through the top hole at the back of the Strip into the wall until snug, 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 as shown in diagram 24-B and drill pilot holes in the marked locations.
- Place a washer onto the screw thread, 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.
For mounting to concrete or other materials: The buyer is responsible for using the correct hardware.
Responsibility: 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.
Professional Assistance: If you are not confident in your mechanical skills, please seek the help of a professional to perform the installation.
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: Re-tighten Cables
Tools Required: Multi Tool
- Tighten both Trolley Cable bolt heads up towards the stop blocks on the Swivel Trolleys [7, 8].
- If the cable system is tight, no further calibration is needed.
