ASSEMBLY

ake Things Easier for Yourself

M

Everything in this manual is designed to ensure
that the weight bench can be assembled suc­cessfully by almost anyone. However, the weight
bench has many parts and the assembly
process will take time. By setting aside plenty of
time, assembly will go smoothly.

To hire an authorized service technician to
assemble the weight bench, call toll-free
1-800-445-2480.

Before beginning assembly, carefully read the
following information and instructions:

Because of its weight and size, the weight bench

•

should be assembled in the location where it will
be used. Make sure that there is enough clear­ance to walk around the weight bench as you
assemble it.

• Place all parts in a cleared area and remove the

packing materials. Do not dispose of the packing
materials until assembly is completed.

• Tighten all parts as you assemble them, unless

instructed to do otherwise.

• As you assemble the weight bench, make sure all

parts are oriented as shown in the drawings.

• Assembly requires two people.

• For help identifying small parts, use the PART
IDENTIFICATION CHART.

The included grease, and the following tools
(not included) may be required for assembly:

• Two adjustable wrenches

• One rubber mallet

• One standard screwdriver

• One Phillips screwdriver

• Clear tape or masking tape, and soapy water.

Assembly will be more convenient if you have a
socket set, a set of open-end or closed-end
wrenches, or a set of ratchet wrenches.

Before beginning assembly, make sure you
understand the information in the box
above. For help identifying small parts,
use the PART IDENTIFICATION CHART.
