WARNING: to reduce the risk of
serious injury to persons using this
equipment, all equipment MUST be
secured (bolted and tightened) to a
solid, level surface, using all of the
anchoring holes provided, to stabilize
and eliminate rocking or tipping over.
Shim any mounting surface that does
not rest thoroughly on the floor using
flat washers, DO NOT force the foot
to contact the ground with anchors.
Fasteners must have a minimum of 500 lbs. tensile capacity, be a bolt of grade 2 or better and be installed per
the bolt manufacturer’s specifications.
Due to the wide variety of flooring on which equipment may be anchored or installed and differences in
applicable local building codes, Core Health & Fitness is not responsible for any damage to the flooring that
may result due to anchoring or installing equipment to the floor and for compliance with local building codes.
Only licensed contractors or certified installers should be used to insure proper anchoring, installation, and
compliance with local building code.
TOOLS
• Metric Allen Key Set
• Loctite Blue1
• Torque Wrench
• Metric Open-Ended Wrench Set
• Large Adjustable Crescent Wrench
THREAD LOCKER APPLICATION: Clean all threads and holes, apply no more than 3-4 drops per bolt.
Fig. 12 Thru Holes Fig. 13 Blind Holes
PACKAGING REMOVAL:
Unit is heavy and requires two people for assembly.
Carefully remove all packaging materials that wrap the equipment.
DO NOT USE A KNIFE OR BOX CUTTER AS YOU MAY DAMAGE THE EQUIPMENT.
At this time remove any sub-components from the pallet and set aside for later assembly. Once all packaging
has been removed, lay all parts out in a clean open area to prepare for assembly. Should any component not
be present or if you have any operational questions, please refer to SUPPORT & SERVICE
After assembly, a complete visual inspection, and test of the features and functions of the assembled unit must
be made prior to use.
1 Unless otherwise noted Loctite 242/243 or equivalent thread locker must be used on all threaded fasteners. (Do not use thread locker when a Nyloc nut
is used.)

Procedure
1. Place the upright weldments
in their install locations laying
down.
2. Install a one-sided corner
connector onto an upright
weldment, then secure the
upright weldment to the corner
connector using two open-
ended wrenches and the
supplied hardware. Repeat this
step three more times for a
total of four one-sided corner
connector upright weldment
assemblies.
3. Units with T connectors do the
same and have two T connector
upright weldment assemblies
each.
Fig. 24
4. Connect the four corner
connector assemblies built
earlier using two of the 18’
tubes and the supplied
hardware. (See Fig. 25)
Note: Units with T connectors
see Fig. 26.

5. Stand up sides and secure with
9’beams, using 4 bolts and
the supplied hardware at each
connection point.

6. Secure beam supports using
3 bolts and the supplied
hardware.
Fig. 28
7. Secure the bag swivel to the crossbeam/bag
hangar (shown)
a. Apply Loctite 242 to the bottom of the bolt.
b. Install the swivel including the antirotation
bracket using an 8mm allen key and an
adjustable wrench - ensure that the bearing
is sandwiched between the two washers.
c. Repeat this step as necessary.
NOTE: Apply low torque to the bolt but DO
NOT OVER-TIGHTEN. If the turret bolt is
overtightened, the swivel ring will not spin.
Check the swivel ring and confirm it can spin
freely
