Question re Weight Increments

Hi guys,
I'm intending on starting out on Stronglifts 5X5 today and I have a Torque F7, which has two independent weight stacks that are operated by a cable system:
My problem is that the plates on each side of the machine go up by 10lb per plate (i.e. if I move up a plate size I will move up a total of 20lb per increase)
How would you recommend adjusting the SL5X5 routine to work with these restrictions? I have a free weight bar but only have a set of 20lb free weight plates, and can't currently afford to go buying more plates for my bar.
Any suggestions??? I appreciate any help you can offer...

Oh, and the F7 has a bar attachment and squat harness attachment included so I can do all the lifts on it. I'm just worried about how to introduce the weight increases that the program asks for?0
