Please read through these instructions completely prior to
assembling your Wall Tower. You will need a slot-head screwdriver
and a crescent or socket wrench. You will also need to acquire

ALIGN THE TUBE OPENINGS ON THE FLOOR
First, align the tube openings
on the floor. There is a set of
nine evenly-spaced holes with
large openings on both sides
of the tube. This set is for the
push-through bar and should
be aligned parallel to the floor,
directly facing the same set of
holes of the other tube.
The other set of holes consists of three sets of three holes that
have a large opening on one side and a small opening on the
other side. This set is for eye-bots (used for springs and other
attachments) and should be perpendicular to the floor with the
small openings facing the floor.

ATTACH TUBES TO CURVED TOP PIECE
Slide the Pole System tubes
into the curved Pole System
top. With the tubes properly
aligned as completed above,
slide the end with the welded
smaller tube into the top piece.
Make sure the weld nut on
curved top is facing up. Insert
the set screw (located in your
hardware package) and tighten
using the provided hex key.
ATTACH TUBES TO BASE PLATE
In your hardware package,
locate the two flat-head bolts.
Also, locate the Wall Tower
base plate. Thread the bolts
through the holes in the base
plate to secure the bottom of
the tubes. Tighten the bolts
using the hex key. Make sure
the eyebolts in the base plate
are facing up.
INSTALL EYE BOLTS INTO TUBES
Install eye bolts into the
large/small holes that are
perpendicular to the floor. For
each hole, screw an eye bolt
into the small hole in the side
of the tube. The small black
metal disk (looks like the brim
of a cowboy hat) fits over the
end of the bolt on the side
with the large hole (side that
would face the wall when Wall
Tower is upright).
Screw the cap nut onto the eye bolt, flush with the disk. DO NOT
overtighten the screws – this can damage the parts. Note:
attach the push-through bar AFTER you have secured the Tower
to the wall and floor.
SECURE THE WALL TOWER TO THE WALL
The curved top piece is
designed to screw into the
studs at standard 16” spacing.
(If you do not have the
standard spacing or if you
need to have the Wall Tower
set up in a specific location
where the screw holes do not
line up with the studs, you will
need to obtain and secure a
header piece. A 2” x 4” wood
plank long enough to span
three studs will work. You can
purchase this from a hardware
or do-it-yourself store.) Use
two lag bolts to screw the Wall
Tower directly into the wall
studs or into the header which
you already screwed into the
studs.
SECURE THE WALL TOWER INTO THE FLOOR
There are two 1/4” holes in the
base plate to secure the Wall
Tower to the floor. If you have a
wood floor, you can use the
enclosed lag bolts. If you have
a concrete floor, check with
your local hardware store to
obtain the necessary hardware
and tools. YOU MUST
PROPERLY SECURE THE WALL
TOWER TO THE WALL AND
THE FLOOR.
ATTACH PUSH-THROUGH BAR
Place the bar between the
tubes, aligned with the holes
you wish to use. Insert the
T-pins from the outside of
the tubes by depressing the
button.

CONTROL WARNING!
The push-through bar can be extremely dangerous to both the
client and trainer. Always control the push-through bar securely
through any movement, especially when the bar has springs
attached to it. If the bar is released under spring tension, it will
move forcefully in the direction of the spring connection point.
Always be aware of the full arc area of the bar and keep that area
clear of both the instructor’s body and the client’s body.
Note: Use only with qualified instructor supervision.
When not in use, the push-through bar should be secured out
of the way. You can use the safety strap or the Wall Tower chain
(see the photos below). Attach the safety strap by looping the
strap around the top end tube and through the sewn end loop.
Never attach the safety strap to any eyehook on the frame.
CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
To clean upholstery vinyl: remove ordinary dirt and smudges with
mild soap and water solution. Dry with a soft, lint-free cloth. For
more difficult stains, use a stronger detergent, but follow the
detergent manufacturer’s instructions closely. More stubborn
stains can be removed with non-abrasive cleaners such as
Formula 409®or Fantastik®used with water and a soft cloth.
To clean wood and aluminum: use a damp cloth and mild soap.
Wipe dry.
Periodically check the machine for anything that might have
become loose, such as the eyebolts where the springs attach.
