Before You Assemble
Before You Assemble
Please take the time to read all assembly instructions before
attempting to assemble your Bowflex® SelectTech® 3.1 Bench.
The best place for your Bowflex® SelectTech® 3.1 Bench is on a
hard, level surface.
Basic Assembly Principles
Here are a few basic tips that will make your assembly of the
Bowflex® SelectTech® 3.1 Bench 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®
SelectTech® 3.1 Bench, turn bolts or nuts toward the right
(clockwise) to tighten and left (counterclockwise) to loosen.
