Installing the Spanner Poles and the Trapeze Slider Bar Assembly
The spanner poles connect the two sets of upright poles. Both the spanner poles
and the fittings on the ends of the cross poles are marked in two ways (see
accompanying figure): a) they are marked to indicate which end of each spanner
pole goes in to which fitting and b) how far the spanner pole should be inserted
into each fitting.
1. Identify the spanner pole that is to be used on each side of the
machine as well as its orientation by matching the markings found on the
spanner poles and cross pole fittings (A – to – A or 1 – to – 1; B – to – B or 2 – to
– 2; and so on). When assembled, the markings should face upward. [NOTE: if a
2nd person is available to support the spanner poles, slide the trapeze assembly
onto both spanner poles and insert the proper end of each spanner into its
respective fittings so that the black locking knob will end up oriented toward the
roll down upright poles. Now skip to step 8.]
2. Loosen the set screws used to retain the trapeze slider fittings to the trapeze
cross bar. Slide the fittings off of the bar. [NOTE: The trapeze pipe and fittings are
marked like the spanner poles.]
3. Slide one slider fitting onto each spanner pole such that the black locking knob
will end up oriented toward the roll down upright poles. The proper end can be
identified once the spanner pole markings are matched against the indicators on
the 3-way fittings on top of the poles (see step 1).
4.While standing on the cadillac's mat, insert the proper end of each spanner into
its respective fitting. Be sure that that markings match.
Note: The push-through and roll down pole systems will have to be pushed
slightly apart to be able to get both ends of the spanners into their respective
fittings.
Caution: When spreading the pole systems to fit the second spanner pole, care
must be taken to insure that the first spanner does not become disengaged
from its fittings. If it does, it could fall and tear the cadillac upholstery.
Temporarily tighten the first spanner to prevent this.
5. Slide both of the trapeze slider fittings toward one end of the machine. Orient
one of the fittings such that the black knob is facing down. Insert one end of the
trapeze cross bar into this fitting and slide it as far toward the outside of the
machine as it will go (one of the eyebolts will contact the edge of the fitting).
6. Carefully disengage the opposite spanner (with the second slider fitting) from
the 3-way fitting on the adjacent pole assembly while at the same time orienting
the slider fitting such that the black knob is facing down. Slide the free end of
the trapeze cross bar into the slider fitting and replace the spanner into its 3-way
fitting.
Caution: When disengaging or replacing the second spanner pole, care must
be taken to insure that the first spanner does not become disengaged from
its fittings. If it does, it could fall and tear the cadillac upholstery. Temporarily
tighten the first spanner to prevent this.
7. Center the trapeze cross bar between its two slider fittings. Be sure that the
eyebolts are facing down and the indicators are up and tighten the slider fittings'
set screws.
8. Verify that all of the markings on the spanner poles and 3-way fittings are
properly aligned. Tighten all fasteners including the set screws as well as the nuts
used to assemble the fittings to the cadillac's legs.
9. Verify that the trapeze assembly slides back and forth easily without binding.
