2. Use the red footrest (item 25) that is included in the
kit, and lay the footrest onto the back of the weight
tray (similar profile). It may be helpful to have the
weight tray laying upside down on the ground when
mating it to the footrest. Install two 1/2 x 2" bolts
(item 9) thru the front of the weight tray and
footrest. Slide the two spacers (from step 1) over
the bolts and secure with push nuts (item 11).
Secure the push nuts as tight as possible. See
Figure 4.
3. Place the footrest/weight tray assembly over the
chassis. The two 1/2 x 2" bolts (item 9) will drop
through the two holes in the chassis. It may be
necessary to tilt the assembly back slightly to align
the bolts with the holes. Secure with two 1/2" nyloc
flange nuts (item 10). See Figure 5.
4. Install two 5/16 x 1" bolts (item 5) through the two
holes on the footrest portion of the assembly.
Secure with two 5/16 nyloc flange nuts. Adhere the
grip adhesive (item 3) just above the two bolts
(item 5) on the footrest. See Figure 4.
5. Place the cast iron weight (item 4) into the weight
tray. Install two 3/8 x 3" hex bolts (item 7) and two
3/8" lock washers (item 8) through the front of the
weight. There are two weld nuts on the back of the
weight tray. Thread the bolts into the weld nuts and
tighten until the lock washers engage. Do not
overtighten the bolts or the tray will flex. The bolts
are only installed to prevent the weights from falling
out of the tray. See Figure 6.
