pry bar to slowly nudge it into place. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Next step is to connect the power. This sounds easy enough but it&#8217;s pretty complicated. The workshop doesn&#8217;t have the right power requirements so I need to use a large generator and a converter to change to power into the kind the rope machine can use. I decided to mount the converter to the machine. The converter comes as two parts; the control panel and the idler motor. The panel will be mounted on the large cage near the machine controls and the idler motor will be mounted on the other side near the floor. <\/p>\n\n\n<div id=\"gt3pg_gallery2\"
