Overview
The Rogue FML-HR Functional Trainer Add-On is a specialized conversion kit designed to transform an existing Rogue RML-390 Monster Lite Rack into a versatile training station. This add-on integrates a vertically adjustable 2:1 functional trainer and a 1:1 lat pulldown/low row station into a single, compact footprint. Engineered to maximize the utility of the Monster Lite series, it allows athletes to perform heavy compound barbell work and high-performance cable movements within the same unit, making it an ideal space-saving solution for garage gyms and personal studios.

Performance Benefits
Consolidated Footprint: Combines a half rack, functional trainer, and lat pulldown station into one unit, effectively replacing three separate machines.
Seamless Transitions: The patent-pending cable configuration allows users to switch between the trolleys and the pulldown/row stations without unhooking carabiners or reconfiguring the unit.
Bilateral Balance: The single-weight-source design ensures perfectly even resistance across both cables during bilateral functional movements, preventing strength imbalances.
Standard Attachment Friendly: Compatible with all standard cable attachments; no proprietary bridges are needed to achieve true 1:1 resistance for pulldowns.
Full Rack Integrity: Retains the heavy-duty structural benefits of the Monster Lite platform, allowing for squats and presses with various safety and storage add-ons.
Maintenance and Care
Anchoring Requirement: The host rack must be securely bolted to the floor using a concrete anchor kit to ensure safety and stability during operation.
Cable Inspection: Periodically check the 3/16" aircraft cable for signs of fraying, kinking, or coating wear. Replace cables immediately if any damage is detected.
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 the manufacturer's specified torque.
Surface Care: Wipe down the powder-coated frame with a mild soap and water solution. Avoid abrasive chemicals on the aluminum pulleys or custom finishes.
Warranty Information
Frame and Welds: Lifetime Warranty.
Pulleys, Cables, and Guide Rods: 5-Year Warranty.
