Identifying Parts

To help you identify the small parts used in assem-

bly, we have included a PART IDENTIFICATION

CHART located in the center of this manual. Place

the chart on the floor or work table and use it to

quickly identify different parts as you open the pack-

ages for each step. 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.

Making Things Easier for Yourself

Everything in this manual is designed to ensure

that our products can be assembled successfully

by anyone. However, it is important to realize

that your new equipment is a sophisticated prod-

uct with many small parts. The assembly process

will take time—possibly several hours. Most peo-

ple find that by setting aside plenty of time, and

by deciding to make the task enjoyable, assem-

bly will go smoothly. You may want to complete

the process over a couple of evenings.

Orienting Parts

As you assemble this product, be sure that all parts

are oriented as shown in the drawings.

Tightening Parts

Tighten all parts as you assemble them, unless

instructed to do otherwise.

Some assembly steps require two people.

Giving Yourself a Good Start

Before you begin the assembly process itself, take

the time to complete the steps outlined here.

Lining Up the Tools

Assembly requires the following tools (not included):

• Two (2) adjustable wrenches

• One (1) standard screwdriver

• One (1) phillips screwdriver

• One (1) rubber mallet

Clearing the Workspace

Clear a workspace that is large enough to hold all

parts and allow you to walk all the way around the

assembled equipment.

Unpacking the Box

To make the assembly process as smooth as possi-

ble, we have broken it into separate stages. All parts

used in each stage are found in individual packages

in the shipping box. Place all parts in a cleared area

and remove the packing materials. Do not dispose of

the packing materials until assembly is completed.

• Lubricant, such as grease or petroleum jelly,

and soapy water

• Tape, such as clear tape or masking tape

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.

Important: Wait until you begin each assembly

stage to open the parts bag labeled for that

assembly stage.

The Four Stages of the Assembly Process

Frame Assembly

Cable Assembly

You will begin by assembling the base and the

upright frames that serve as the skeleton of the

equipment.

This stage completes the cables and pulleys that

connect the moving arms with each other and with

the weights.

Seat Assembly

Arm Assembly

This stage completes the press and butterfly arms

that you operate while you are exercising.

This final stage completes the seat and backrest

that support your body while you are exercising.
