Getting to Know Your Machine
Before You Assemble
Please take the time to read all assembly
instructions before attempting to assemble your
Bowflex Xtreme®SE home gym. Select where you
are going to locate your machine carefully. The best
place for your Bowflex Xtreme®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.
Basic Assembly Principles
Here are a few basic tips that will make your
assembly of the Bowflex Xtreme®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®SE home gym, turn bolts
or nuts toward the right to tighten and left to
loosen. Or you can remember the mnemonic:
“Righty tighty, lefty loosey.”
IMPORTANT: LEAVE ALL CABLES COILED AND WRAPPED UNTIL YOUR
BOWFLEX XTREME®SE HOME GYM IS FULLY ASSEMBLED.
