Before You Assemble
Before You Assemble
Please take the time to read all assembly instructions
before attempting to assemble and install your
Bowflex®Gym Style Ab Crunch Station accessory.
Basic Assembly Principles
Here are a few basic tips that will make your assembly of the
Bowflex®Gym Style Ab Crunch Station quick and easy. By
using these principles, you can simplify each process and save
yourself extra time and effort.
1. To make the assembly process go faster, gather the pieces
you need for each step and thoroughly read the assembly
instructions for that step prior to starting assembly for the
step.
2. When tightening a locknut on a bolt, use a wrench to grip the
locknut and ensure that it is fastened securely.
3. When attaching two pieces, gently lift and look through the
bolt holes to help guide the bolt through the holes.
4. As a general rule, and for all bolts and nuts on your Bowflex®
Gym Style Ab Crunch Station, turn bolts or nuts toward the
right (clockwise) to tighten and left (counterclockwise) to
loosen. Or you can remember the mnemonic: “Righty tighty,
lefty loosey.”
