Instructions
Congratulations on the purchase of your new Batca B-1 F.I.D. Bench. This bench will provide you with a
lifetime of enjoyment to meet your strength training needs. Batca Fitness Systems strives to build the best
quality benches and to package them in such a way to avoid any damage during shipping.
In order to get started with your assembly you should first familiarize yourself with this manual. It is
recommended that you read through each step thoroughly before you begin. Begin by opening your box
and separating all of your parts. Verify that all parts are accounted for and have no damage. When all
parts are accounted for, you may begin your assembly. Some items may have been pre-assembled for
your convenience. Please note that hardware quantities shown reflect total quantities for your gym and
may not reflect actual quantities in each bag. Assemble your bench on a solid level surface. This will
ensure the best possible performance, function, and safety for the bench and your workout.
Assemble your bench according to the step by step instructions found in this manual. Failure to do so will
void your warranty and may result in personal injury. After assembly you should check your bench for
correct operation. If a problem arises, recheck your assembly with these instructions to verify correct
assembly. If you are unable to correct a problem or have questions with your assembly please contact
your authorized Batca dealer.

operation of the bench seat’s hinge and could cause the movement to bind.
Note: For a more consistent appearance, position all bolts in the direction shown in each figure.
