Basic Assembly Principles
Here are a few basic tips that will make assembly quick and easy and simplify each process, saving 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® Xtreme²TM 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.”
5. It is recommended that you use two people to assemble your Bowflex® Xtreme²TM home gym.
Tools You Will Need
You will need the following tools to complete the assembly of your Bowflex® Xtreme²TM home gym. If you don’t have these tools,
you can find them at any hardware or department store for a reasonable price.
• 1/2" combination wrench
• 9/16" combination wrench
• 3/4" combination wrench
Unpacking Your Bowflex
Leave all Cables wrapped and bagged until your Bowflex® Xtreme²TM home gym is fully assembled.
Select where you are going to put your Bowflex® Xtreme²TM home gym carefully.
The best place for your Bowflex® Xtreme²TM home gym is on a hard, level surface. Assemble your Bowflex® Xtreme²TM home gym
in the location where you intend to use it, as it does not go through doors easily once fully assembled.
• An adjustable wrench
• Phillips screw driver
• Flat blade screw driver
• Rubber mallet (optional)
• Utility Knife or Scissors
• 3/16" Allen Wrench (included)
