Make sure you have the following tools:
• Two adjustable wrenches
• One standard screwdriver
• One phillips screwdriver
• One rubber mallet
• One pair of pliers
• 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 preattached. If a part is not in the parts
bag, check to see if it has been preattached.
How to Orient Parts
Make sure that all parts are oriented exactly as
shown in the drawings.

Assembly Requires Two Persons
For your convenience and safety, assemble the
weight bench with the help of another person.
Set Aside Enough Time
Due to the many features of the weight bench, the
assembly process will take 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 weight bench over a couple of
evenings.
Select a Location for the Weight Bench
Because of its weight and size, the weight bench
should be assembled in the location where it will be
used. Make sure that there is enough room to walk
around the weight bench as you assemble it.
How to Unpack the Box
Place all parts of the weight bench in a cleared
area and remove the packing materials. Do not dis-
pose
of the packing materials until assembly is com-
pleted.
Tightening Parts
T
ighten all parts as you assemble them, unless
instructed to do otherwise.
Make Assembly Easier for Yourself
Everything in this manual is designed to
ensure that the weight bench can be assem-
bled successfully by most people. 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.
