Take two 3/8” x 3/4” square head bolts and place them through holes on the Rear Leg Bolt Keeper. Take that assembly and slide it into the Seat Rail channel, starting on the end closest to the warning label. Make sure to line up the end of the bolt keeper with the end of the rail. Repeat for the other bolt keeper.
Once you have both bolt keepers in place, install the Rear Leg – place four 3/8” washers and tighten a 3/8” nylon locknut on to each of the bolts.

Next, take two 3/8” x 3/4” square head bolts and slide one into each side of the Seat Rail channel from the opposite end. Locate the Riser Bracket and attach it to the Seat Rail with the two square head bolts. Wait to tighten bolts with a wrench until after Step 1c.
1c.
Now, locate the bolt keeper for the pivot bracket and two 3/8” x 3/4” square head bolts. Install the bolts into the bolt keeper. Slide them into the Seat Rail Channel making sure the keeper is flush with the end of the Seat Rail. Repeat for the other bolt keeper.
Locate the Pivot Bracket and Pulley Frame. Snap the Pivot Bracket between the screw heads on the Pulley Frame.
Install the rail so the four bolts at the front of the rail
slide through the four holes in the pivot bracket. 1c. Use 3/8” washers and 3/8” nylon lock nuts to
secure the rail.
IMPORTANT: Place Seat Rail so that the end of the rail is flush with the edge of the Pivot Bracket.
Connect the bottom of the Riser Bracket to the standing platform with the 1" Knob. See example 1c.

Step 2:
Locate Seat and Bench and separate from one another. They are connected by a Quick Release Hinge. See illustration 2a at right.

The seat slides onto the Seat Rail by aligning the wheels on the Seat with the channels along the sides of the Seat Rail. Pull out the Seat Locking Pin in order to slide the Seat on. Seat Pin locks Seat into position. Pulling pin
out and turning counterclockwise one quarter turn allows Seat to slide freely.
After you have installed the Seat, you can install the two End Caps at the ends of the Seat Rail. Secure them with the #10 Screws. (smallest screws) If the screws are not going in, you
can use soap or other lubricant on the screw threads.
Note: If you purchased a CHEST BAR attachment, do not install the u-bar as shown in step 3. Instead, go now to page 16, step 5, of the chest bar assembly instructions.
