ASSEMBLY
Make Assembly Easier for Yourself
Everything in this manua! is designed to
ensure that the weight system can be assem­
bled successfully by anyone.
Before begin­
ning assembly, make sure to read the
information on this page. This brief intro­
duction will save you much more time than
it takes to read it.
Assembly Requires Two Persons
For your convenience and safety, assemble the
weight system with the heip of another person.
Set Aside Enough Time
Due to the many features of the weight system, the
assembly process will require several hours. By
setting aside plenty of time and by deciding to
make the task enjoyable, assembly will go smoothly.
You may want to assemble the weight system over
a couple of evenings.
Select a Location for the Weight System
Because of its weight and size, the weight system
should be assembled in the location where it will be
used. Make sure that there is enough room to walk
around the weight system as you assemble it.
How to Unpack the Box
To make assembly as easy as possible, we have
divided the assembly process into four stages. The
parts needed for each stage are found in individual
bags.
Important: Wait until you begin each stage
to open the parts bag for that stage. Place all
parts of the weight system in a cleared area and
remove the packing materials. Do not dispose of
the packing materials until assembly is completed.
Make sure you have the following tools:
• Two adjustable wrenches
• One standard screwdriver
• One Phillips screwdriver
• One rubber mallet
• You will also need grease or petroleum jelly, a
small amount of soapy water, and clear tape or
masking tape.
Note: 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.
How to Identify Parts
To help you identify the small parts used in assembly,
we have included a
PART IDENTIFICATION CHART
in the center of this manual. Place the chart on the
floor and use it to easily identify parts during each
assembly step.
Note: Some small parts may have
been pre-attached. If a part is not in the parts
bag, check to see If it has been pre-attached.
How to Orient Parts
As you assemble the weight system, make sure all
parts are oriented exactly as shown in the drawings.
Tightening Parts
Tighten all parts as you assemble them, unless
instructed to do otherwise.
