Assembly
Make sure you have the following tools:
¥ Two (2) adjustable wrenches
¥ One (1) standard screwdriver
¥ One (1) phillips screwdriver
¥ One (1) 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 training system, make sure
that all parts are oriented exactly as shown in the
drawings.
Tightening Parts
Tighten all parts as you assemble them, unless
instructed to do otherwise.
Questions?
If you have questions after reading the assembly
instructions, please call our Customer Service
Department toll-free at 1-888-825-2588 Monday
through Friday, 6 a.m. until 6 p.m. Mountain Time.
Assembly Requires Two Persons
For your convenience and safety, assemble the
training system with the help of another person.
Set Aside Enough Time
Due to the many features of the training system,
the assembly process will require a few 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 training system over
a couple of evenings.
Select a Location for the Training
System
Because of its weight and size, the training system
should be assembled in the location where it will be
used. Make sure that there is enough room to walk
around the training system as you assemble it.
How to Unpack the Box
To make assembly as easy as possible, we have
divided the assembly process into three stages.
The parts needed for each stage are found in indi-
vidual bags. Important: Wait until you begin each
stage to open the parts bag for that stage. Place
all parts of the training system in a cleared area
and remove the packing materials. Do not dispose
of the packing materials until assembly is completed.
Make Assembly Easier for Yourself!
Everything in this manual is designed to
ensure that the training system can be
assembled successfully by anyone. Before
beginning 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!
The Three Stages of the Assembly Process
Frame AssemblyÑYou will begin by assembling
the base and the uprights that serve as the skele-
ton of the training system.
Cable AssemblyÑDuring this stage you will
attach the cables and pulleys that connect the
arms with each other and with the weights.
Arm and Seat AssemblyÑDuring this stage you
will assemble the arms and the leg lever, the
seat, the backrest, and other miscellaneous parts.
