ASSEMBLY

Make Assembly Easier

Tighten all parts as you assemble them, unless

•
instructed to do otherwise.

Everything in this manual is designed to ensure
that the weight bench can be assembled suc-

essfully by almost anyone. By setting aside

c
plenty of time, assembly will go smoothly.

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

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

• Assembly requires two persons.

• Because of its 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.

• As you assemble the weight bench, make sure all
parts are oriented as shown in the drawings.

• For help identifying small parts, use the PART
IDENTIFICATION CHART on page 5.

• Assembly requires the included hex key(s)

and the following tools (not included):

two adjustable wrenches

one rubber mallet

one standard screwdriver

one Phillips screwdriver

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

that you have read and understand the
information in the box above. See the
