ASSEMBLY

Make Things Easier for Yourself

This manual is designed to ensure that the resist­ance system can be assembled successfully by
most people. However, it is important to realize
that the versatile resistance system 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.

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

Assembly requires two persons.

•

• Place all parts in a cleared area and remove the

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

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

parts may have been pre-attached for shipping. If
a part is not in the parts bag, check to see if it
has been pre-attached.

• Tighten all parts as you assemble them, unless
instructed to do otherwise.

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

The included Allen wrenches and the follow­ing tools (not included) are required for assem­bly:

• Two adjustable wrenches

• One rubber mallet

• One standard screwdriver

• One Phillips screwdriver

• Lubricant, such as grease or petroleum jelly,
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.
