basedproducts.

ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS
Assembling the Spring Wall
PLEASE DO NOT ATTEMPT TO ASSEMBLE ON YOUR OWN.
Installation of this product requires a minimum of two people. We highly recommend that you have this product installed by
a professional contractor. Read instructions completely beforebeginning assembly. Improper installation voids equipment
warranty. Merrithew will not be responsible for any injuryor damage resulting from improper installation.
wPlace all parts from the box in a cleared area and position
themon the floor in front of you.
wRemove all packing material from your area and place
themback into the box. Do not dispose of the packing
materials until assembly iscompleted.
wTo prevent unsafe or improper use, please read each
stepcarefully before beginning.
1. Find support studs in wall (typically 16"/ 40.64 cm apart)
and mark off location.
2. Position the back board [3] 3-1/2"/8.9 cm above the
mat surface. Use a builder’s level or set square to ensure
SpringWall’s length is perpendicular to the floor.
3. Mark attachment point holes [2] against the wall over the
underlying support studs.
4. Remove back board [3] and drill appropriately sized holes
through wall
5. Position the back board [3] and screw it firmly against the wall.
There are eight (8) attachment point [2] screw holes.
On a standard drywall surface, when only one support stud
can be found, affix the remaining holes to the wall using
butterfly toggle anchors, slotted hex head wall anchors
or other appropriate heavy-duty drywall anchor fasteners.
Brickwalls require four masonry fasteners.
6. Attach springs to back board using spring clips. Test stability
and solidness of the board to the wall before use.
Spring Clips
SPRING CLIP LOCKING SPRING CLIP
Used to connect springs to equipment.
Two types available. Locking spring clips
are required for the push-thru bar with
springs from below.
Always ensure spring clips are closed
completely. It may otherwise come
undone and detach with high force.
Safety Cautions
Improper use of exercise equipment may cause serious injury. To reduce risk, please observe the following:
wThe Spring Wall should only be used by one person at a time,
not weighing over350 lbs / 159 kgs.
wAlways choose the workout which best fits your physical
strength and flexibility level. Know your limits and train within
them. Always use common sense when exercising.
wDo not wear loose clothing while using the Spring Wall.
wEnsure a secure grip when holding the roll-down bar.
wWhen springs are used ensure the spring clips at both ends
ofeach spring are closed completely.
If a spring clip is only half closed, it may come undone
and detach with highforce
wIf you are watching someone perform an exercise, never put
your face (or any other body part) above the roll-down bars
orextended springs.
If the bar or spring handles are released suddenly
theycouldfly upward and cause injury.
