Basic Assembly Principles
Here are a few basic tips that will make your assembly of the Bowflex C:_>Sport TM home gym quick and easy. By using these
principles, you can simplify each process and save yourself extra time and eff'ort.
1. To make the assembly process go t:aster, 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 combination wrench to grip the locknut and ensure that it is t:astened securel3<
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 C:'>Sport TM home gym, turn bolts or nuts toward the right to
tighten and left to bosen. Or you can remember the mnemonic: "RighD_ tighty, lefty loose3<"
