Overview
The SLM-6 Monster Weight Stack Slinger is a specialized, rack-mounted cable-pulley system designed specifically for the RM-6 Monster Power Rack. Engineered for space and cost efficiency, the SLM-6 allows the 300 lb weight stack to reside in the smaller 24” back section of the rack, while the longer cable and additional pulley enable the user to perform lat pulldowns and other cable exercises from the front of the rack. This patented system provides the benefits of a traditional lat pulldown machine without requiring the large footprint of standalone equipment.

Smooth Operation: The combination of precision guide rods and high-quality pulleys provides a consistent, fluid movement path typical of high-end commercial selectorized machines.
Maintenance and Care
Cable Inspection: Periodically check the MIL spec cable for any signs of fraying, kinks, or coating wear. Replace immediately if damage is detected.
Guide Rod Lubrication: Keep guide rods clean and lightly lubricated with a dry silicone spray to ensure the weight stack glides smoothly and quietly.
Hardware Check: Regularly ensure all 1” Black Zinc mounting hardware is fully tightened, especially after initial assembly and heavy usage periods.
Pulley Cleaning: Wipe down the pulleys to remove dust or debris that could interfere with the cable's track.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Will this fit my Monster Lite (RML-6) rack?
A: No. This model is for Monster Series (1" hardware) only. A separate "SLML-6" model is available for Monster Lite racks.
Q: Can I use this if my rack was purchased before 2016?
A: Older crossmembers may lack the necessary holes for the cable to pass through. Contact Rogue customer support to determine if you need a crossmember upgrade or instructions for drilling.
Q: Does my rack need to be bolted down?
A: Yes. Any rack or rig utilizing the Slinger attachment MUST be securely fastened to the floor to prevent tipping or instability during use.
Q: What is the difference between the Full Kit and the Upgrade Kit?
A: The Full Kit includes the entire 300 lb stack and mounting hardware. The Upgrade Kit is for those who already own a standard Weight Stack Slinger and simply need the RM-6 specific brackets and longer cable.
