SEAT ROLLER INSTALLATION AND ROTATION

1. Remove the front stanchion assembly from the monorail:

a. Loosen the socket set screw on the corner of the front stanchion sleeve.
b. Loosen and remove the monorail screw and nut (2 1/2” button head screw).
c. Pull the monorail out of the front stanchion assembly and lower the monorail to the ground.
CAUTION: Leave a stretch cord attached so the seat carriage and bench doesn’t roll forward.
d. Rest the front stanchion assembly on the ground.

2. Unhook the stretch cord from the seat carriage, and allow the padded bench / seat carriage assembly
to slowly roll toward the front. Hold the monorail in one hand and hold the middle underside of the seat
carriage and remove the assembly from the monorail.

3. Place the padded bench / seat carriage assembly upside down so the rollers are visible.

4. Use the 5/32” allen wrench and 7/16” wrench (or adjustable wrenches) to loosen the nut and screw which
holds each of the four seat carriage rollers in place. IMPORTANT: Note the position of the spacers and
rubber washers for re-assembly. See drawing below.

5. Install the new rollers, rotate the rollers, or move the rollers for a tighter or looser fit, making certain that
the spacers and washers are positioned exactly as they were before removing them (see drawing below).
Tighten the nuts until you see the rubber washer just begin to compress.

NOTE: Avoid over-tightening, as this will place side pressure on the bearings and can cause premature wear.
Tighten the nuts until you see the rubber washer just begin to compress. To test tightness, spin the roller -
the roller should roll freely, but should not be able to spin freely for more than 2-3 seconds.

6. Replace the seat carriage on the monorail and connect a stretch cord. Slide the front stanchion assembly
onto the monorail and replace the monorail screw and nut. Tighten the screw and nut. Tighten the socket
set screw on the front stanchion sleeve with the hex key allen wrench.
