Getting to Know Your Machine
Before You Assemble
Please take the time to read all assembly
instructions before attempting to assemble your
Bowflex Xtreme®2 SE home gym. Select where
you are going to locate your machine carefully.
The best place for your Bowflex Xtreme®2 SE
home gym is on a hard, level surface.
Select a workout area that provides a minimum
clearance behind the rod box of 0.5 ft (15 cm)
and a total width of 6.5 ft (2.0 m). Allow a
minimum of 3.0 ft (0.9 m) free space in front of
the machine.
Every effort has been made to provide you with a
clear and accurate assembly manual. Should you
find any inconsistencies, have questions about your
Bowflex Xtreme®2 SE or have suggestions for
improving our manuals, please call 800-628-8458
for assistance
Basic Assembly Principles
Here are a few basic tips that will make your assembly
of the Bowflex Xtreme®2 SE home gym 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
combination 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 Xtreme®2 SE home gym, 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.”
IMPORTANT: LEAVE ALL CABLES COILED AND WRAPPED UNTIL YOUR
BOWFLEX XTREME®2 SE HOME GYM IS FULLY ASSEMBLED.
