Before Assembly
Please take the time to read all assembly instructions before attempting to assemble your Bowflex Xceed™ home gym. Select
where you are going to locate your machine carefully. The best place for your Bowflex Xceed™ 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 Xceed™ 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 Xceed™ home gym, turn bolts or nuts toward the right
(clockwise) to tighten and left (counterclockwise) to loosen.
IMPORTANT: LEAVE ALL CABLES WRAPPED AND COILED UNTIL INSTRUCTED.
