Owner's Manual

Note: This introduction will save you more
time than it takes to read it!
Identifying Parts
To help you identify the small parts used in assem-
bly, we have included a PART IDENTIFICATION
CHART in the center of this manual. Place the chart
on the floor and use it to quickly identify parts as you
open the packages 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.
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.
Tools Required
Assembly requires the following tools (not included):
¥ Two (2) adjustable wrenches
¥ One (1) standard screwdriver
¥ One (1) phillips screwdriver
¥ One (1) rubber mallet
¥ 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.
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.
Clearing a 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 assembly as smooth as possible, we have
broken the process 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.
Important: Wait until you begin each assembly
stage to open the parts bag labeled for that
assembly stage.
Assembly
Making Things Easier for Yourself
Everything in this manual is designed to ensure
that our products can be assembled successful-
ly by anyone. However, it is important to recog-
nize that the home gym is a sophisticated prod-
uct with many small parts. The assembly
process will take several hours. Most people
find that by setting aside plenty of time and by
deciding to make the task enjoyable, assembly
will go smoothly. You may want to complete the
process over a couple of evenings.
The Four Stages of the Assembly Process
Frame Assembly
You will begin by assembling the base and the
upright frames that serve as the skeleton of the
equipment.
Arm Assembly
Next you will assemble the press and butterfly
arms that you operate while you are exercising.
Cable Assembly
During this stage you will attach the cables and
pulleys that connect the moving arms with each
other and with the weights.
Seat Assembly
During this stage you will assemble the seats and
backrests.
