Before You Start

Before You Assemble

Select where you are going to locate your Bowflex Conquest™ home gym carefully. The best place for your
Bowflex Cnquest™ home gym is on a hard, level surface. For best results, assemble your Bowflex Conquest™

home gym in the location where you intend to use it. Allow a workout area of at least 8’4”L x 6’6”W (2.6m L x
2m W) of free space for safe operation of the Bowflex Conquest™ home gym.

Every effort has been made to provide you with a clear and accurate assembly / owners manual. Should you
find any inconsistencies, have questions about your (model) or have suggestions for improving our manuals,
please call 1-800-NAUTILUS f(628-8458) for assistance.

Basic Assembly Principles

Here are a few basic tips that will make your assembly of the Bowflex Conquest™ home gym quick and easy.
By using these principles, you can simplify each process and save yourself extra time and effort.

1. To make the assembly process go faster, gather the pieces you need for each step and thoroughly read
the assembly instructions for that step prior to starting assembly for the step.

2. When tightening a locknut on a bolt, use a combination wrench to grip the locknut and ensure that it is

fastened securely.

3. When attaching two pieces, gently lift and look through the bolt holes to help guide the bolt through the

holes.

4. As a general rule, and for all bolts and nuts on your Bowflex Conquest

toward the right to tighten and left to loosen. Or you can remember the mnemonic: “Righty tighty, lefty
loosey.”
