Thank you for purchasing the Body-Solid GLP2500 Leg Press Attachment. This Leg Press is part of the
Body-Solid line of quality strength training machines, which let you target specic muscle groups to
achieve better muscle tone and overall body conditioning.
Unpacking the Equipment
The GLP2500 Leg Press is carefully tested and inspect-
ed before shipment. Body-Solid ships the unit in pieces
that require assembly. Ask for assistance during the
assembly process.
Carefully unpack the boxes and lay the pieces on the
floor near the area where you plan to use the
equipment.
Required Tools:
The tools that you must obtain before assembling
include:
Set of Allen Keys
Socket & Ratchet Set
Adjustable Wrenches
Installation Requirements
Be careful to assemble components in the sequence
presented in this guide. Follow these installation
requirements:
• Set up on a solid, flat surface. A smooth, flat
surface under the machine helps keep it level. A
level machine has fewer malfunctions.
• Provide ample space around the machine. Open
space around the machine allows for easier access.
• Insert all bolts in the same direction. For aesthetic
purposes, insert all bolts in the same direction
unless specified (in text or illustrations) to do
otherwise.
• Leave room for adjustments. Tighten fasteners
such as bolts, nuts, and screws so the unit is
stable, but leave room for adjustments. Do not fully
tighten fasteners until instructed in the assembly
steps to do so.
• Fill out and mail warranty card.
Be careful to assemble all components in
the sequence presented in this guide. If you
do not assemble and use the GLP2500 Leg
Press according to these guidelines, you
could void the Body-Solid warranty.
If any items are missing, contact the dealer from
whom you purchased the unit or call 1-800-556-3113
for Body-Solid customer service.
Before You Begin

3
Assembly of the GLP2500 takes professional installers about 1/2 hour to complete. If this is the
rst time you have assembled this type of equipment, plan on signicantly more time. Professional
installers are recommended.
However, if you acquire the appropriate tools, obtain assistance, and follow the assembly steps
sequentially, the process will take time, but is fairly easy.
Assembly Tips
Read all “Notes” on each page before beginning each
step.
While you may be able to assemble the GLP2500 Leg
Press using the illustrations only, important safety notes
and other tips are included in the text.
Some pieces may have extra holes that you will not use.
Use only those holes indicated in the instructions and
illustrations.
NOTE: To find out the length of a particular bolt, mea-
sure its shank (the long, narrow part beneath the head).
Refer to the following diagram:
Do not fully tighten bolts until instructed to
do so.
NOTE: After assembly, you should check all functions
to ensure correct operation. If you experience problems,
first recheck the assembly instructions to locate any
possible errors made during assembly. If you are unable
to correct the problem, call the dealer from whom you
purchased the machine or call 1-800-556-3113 for
Body-Solid customer service.
IMPORTANT!
Lock Nut Hardware
To assemble a locking nut onto a bolt, spin the nut
clockwise onto the end of the bolt. You will notice that
you can spin the nut only halfway on by hand. Don’t
worry, this is normal.
The nut has a piece of nylon plastic embedded in the
nut. This piece prevents the nut from coming loose on
its own.
To finish the assembly, use a proper wrench on the head
of the bolt and another wrench on the nut. Tools will
give you the leverage you need to tighten the lock nut
onto the bolt. Tighten until it is tight against the frame or
washer.
This is the shank. To
determine the length
of a bolt, measure the
shank only.

Important Safety Instructions

Warning, Safety & Maintenance
Precision craftsmanship assures Body-Solid’s ability to
consistently deliver products of the highest standards.
Our products have been carefully designed to ensure
safe, efficient long term operation.
However, it must be realized that safe use of this equip-
ment requires that owners carefully read and follow the
Body-Solid recommendations, warnings, and mainte-
nance guidelines.
Routine inspection and maintenance is of critical impor-
tance to ensure the maximum safety and performance
of the GLP2500 Leg Press. Body-Solid uses the highest
quality materials available, but wear is inevitable.
Be advised that dangerous conditions can arise even
during a warranty period. A warranty does not negate
the owner’s responsibility to thoroughly, carefully and
daily inspect the machine.
Including maintaining the equipment the owner’s
responsibility is also to:
• Be sure to always provide adequate supervision to
all end-users.
• Be sure to instruct all end-users of proper usage.
• Be sure all supervisors and personal trainers who
instruct end-users on equipment use are properly
trained and know the function and importance
of every adjustment and setting. Also, be sure these
trainers provide proper instruction to end-users on
the fundamentals of strength training.
Cables Tension
• Check slack in cables and re-adjust cable tension
if needed.
Cables
• While the machine is not in use. Carefully run your
fingers along the cable to feel for thinning or
bulging areas. Replace cables immediately at the
first sign of damage or wear. Do not use equipment
until the damaged cable has been replaced.
• Visually inspect the cables for fraying, cracking,
peeling or discoloration.
• Check slack in cables and re-adjust cable tension
if needed.
• Check that locking nut at the Weight Stack is tight.
• Lubricate cables and pulley grooves with Silicone
spray.
Upholstery
• Wipe down after every workout.
• Periodically take the time to use a mild soap or a
mild vinyl upholstery cleaner. Avoid using any
abrasive cleaner not intended for use on vinyl.
• Keep sharp or pointed objects out of your pockets
and clear of all upholstery.
Nuts/Bolts/Fasteners
• Periodically inspect all nuts and bolts. Tighten if
needed. If bolts seem to loosen periodically, use
Loctite 242 for a long-term cure.
• Go through a re-tightening sequence periodically to
ensure that all hardware is properly tensioned.
Do not over-tighten Seat Pad or Back Pad bolts.
Guide Rods
• Wipe clean with a dust free rag. Lubricate with a
Silicon or Teflon based lubricant.
Adjustments/Locking Pins/Knobs
• Check all pieces for signs of visible wear or
damage.
• Check springs in Snap Links and Pop Pins for
proper tension and alignment.
• If the spring sticks or has lost its rigidity, replace it
immediately.
Anti-Skid Surfaces
• Replace if they appear worn or become slippery.
Warning Instruction Labels
• Inspect and familiarize yourself with all safety
warnings and other user information on decals.
