quately informed of all precautions.

3. The weight rack is intended for home use

mercial, rental, or institutional setting.

4. Use the weight rack only on a level surface.

Cover the floor beneath the weight rack to

protect the floor or carpet.

5. Inspect and tighten all parts each time you

use the weight rack. Replace any worn parts

immediately.

6. Keep children under 12 and pets away from

the weight rack at all times.

7. Keep hands and feet away from moving parts.

8. Always secure weights (not included) with

the weight clips when they are mounted on

the weight carriage.

9. Always make sure there is an equal amount

of weight on each end of the barbell (not

included).

10. Always set both weight rests and both safety

Assembly

Make Things Easier for Yourself!

Everything in this manual is designed to ensure

that the weight rack can be assembled success-

fully by anyone. However, it is important to real-

ize that the versatile weight rack has many parts

and that the assembly process will take time.

Most people find that by setting aside plenty of

time, assembly will go smoothly.

1. Press 60mm Square Outer Caps (27) onto the ends

of the Right and Left Bases (1, 3).

Attach the Right and Left Bases (1, 3) to the Center

Base (2) using four M10 x 78mm Bolts (31) and

four M10 Nylon Locknuts (29). Do not tighten the

Nylon Locknuts yet.

Adjustment

Holes

2. Identify the two Rear Uprights (8), which are slightly

shorter than the Front Uprights (not shown).

Attach the Rear Uprights (8) to the Left and Right

Bases (1, 3) using four M10 x 78mm Bolts (31) and

four M10 Nylon Locknuts (29). Do not tighten the

Nylon Locknuts yet. Make sure the Uprights are

oriented exactly as shown, with the adjustment

holes on the indicated side near the bottom.

Press a 60mm Square Outer Cap (27) onto the end

of the Weight Guide Base (4).

Orient the Foot Plate (5) and the Weight Guide Base

(4) as shown. Attach the Foot Plate and the Weight

Guide Base to the Center Base (2) using two M10 x

78mm Bolts (31) and two M10 Nylon Locknuts (29).

Do not tighten the Nylon Locknuts yet.

4. This step will require two people.

Refer to drawing 4a. Have one person hold out the

Adjustment Knobs (22) on a Safety Spotter (20),

while the other person slides the Safety Spotter

down over the right Uprights (7, 8), as shown. Hold

the Adjustment Knob out on the Weight Rest (19),

and slide the Weight Rest onto the Front Upright

(7). To avoid breaking the Square Bushings (21)

inside the top and bottom of the Safety Spotter

and Weight Rest, be careful not to catch the

Square Bushings on the edges of the Uprights

as they slide on.

Refer to drawing 4b. Secure the Safety Spotter (20)

and the Weight Rest (19) to the right Uprights (7, 8)

by snapping the three Adjustment Knobs (22) into

adjustment holes in the Uprights and turning them

clockwise until tight.

Assemble the other Safety Spotter (20) and Weight

Rest (19) to the left Uprights (7, 8) in the same

manner. Make sure both Safety Spotters and

both Weight Rests are at the same height.

3. Tap a 60mm Square Inner Cap (28) into the top of

each of the Front Uprights (7).

Attach one of the Front Uprights (7) and two Rack

Joint Plates (6) to the Left Base (3) using four M10

x 78mm Bolts (31) and four M10 Nylon Locknuts

(29). Make sure the Front Upright is oriented so

that the holes on the bottom of the Front

Upright and the holes in the Joint Plates line up.

If they do not line up, turn the Front Upright

upside-down. Do not tighten the Nylon

Locknuts yet. Make sure the Front Upright is

turned so the adjustment holes are facing the

Rear Upright (8).

Attach the other Front Upright (7, not shown) and

two Rack Joint Plates (6, not shown) to the Right

Base (1) in the same manner.

5. Attach the Chin-up Bar (13) and two Rack Joint

Plates (6) to the Front Uprights (7) using four M10 x

78mm Bolts (31) and four M10 Nylon Locknuts (29).

Do not tighten the Nylon Locknuts yet.
