Overview
The Rogue FML-6 Functional Trainer Add-On is a high-performance conversion kit designed to transform an existing Rogue RML-690 Monster Lite Rack into a comprehensive, multi-functional training station.

Performance Benefits
Space Maximization: Consolidates a power rack, functional trainer, and lat pulldown into one unit, replacing multiple bulky standalone machines.
Balanced Loading: The single weight source design ensures even loading across both cables, eliminating side-to-side resistance imbalances during functional training.
Seamless Transitions: Patent-pending pulley configuration allows users to switch between the front trolleys, lat pulldown, and low row without detaching carabiners or swapping hardware.
Universal Attachment Compatibility: Works with all standard cable attachments; no proprietary bridges or specialized adapters are required to achieve 1:1 resistance for rows and pulldowns.
Full Rack Utility: Retains the core functionality of the RML-690, including Westside hole spacing and compatibility with all Monster Lite accessories (Velocidor, Monolifts, etc.).
Maintenance and Care
Bolting Requirement: The host RML-690 rack must be securely bolted to the floor to ensure safety and stability during cable and barbell use.
Cable Inspection: Periodically check the 3/16" aircraft cable for signs of fraying, kinking, or coating wear. Replace cables immediately if any damage is found.
Guide Rod Lubrication: For weight stack models, wipe down the chrome-plated guide rods monthly. Apply a thin layer of silicone-based lubricant to maintain a friction-free, silent glide.
Hardware Audit: Regularly verify that all 5/8” hardware and pulley bolts remain tightened to Rogue’s specified torque.
General Cleaning: Wipe down the frame and aluminum pulleys with a mild soap and water solution. Avoid abrasive cleaners that may damage powder-coated or custom finishes.

Frame and Welds: Lifetime Warranty.
Pulleys, Cables, and Guide Rods: 5-Year Warranty.
