Basic Assembly Principles
Here are a few basic tips that will make your assembly of the Bowflex Sport® 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 Sport® home gym, turn bolts or nuts toward the right to tighten
and left to loosen. Or you can remember the mnemonic: “Righty tighty, lefty loosey.”
