WARNING:

•Not intended for commercial use.

OVERVIEW

•The Advanced Balance Beam is fully height-adjustable and can be used in one of two “modes.”

oThe first mode is the shortest at 7in. with the legs directly attached to the beam for use with

beginners or gymnasts practicing new techniques.

oThe second mode is more than double the height at 18in. with attachment of the adjustable leg

supports. It can also be raised or canted in 2in. increments from 1½ft. to 2ft. This mode is ideal for

advanced gymnasts that are comfortable performing the moves.

•Assembly should be completed by an adult and the use of power tools is not recommended. Use the

included hex driver or basic hand tools to avoid damaging parts.

•Be sure to verify that you have all the parts listed on the previous page before beginning assembly.

ASSEMBLY

1) For assembly of the taller “mode” of this beam, skip to step 4. For the floor mode, place the leg bars (B)

over the attachment points on the bottom of the balance beam (A) as shown in figure 1 below. There are

four holes for screws on the beam, but there are only two holes in the center of the leg bar, so line up

the bars with the holes closest to the edge of the beam.

2) Put one small washer (I) onto 4 bolts (H). (Do not use the wider washers as they will not fit through the

bottom of the bar.) Then, insert each bolt-with-washer through the bottom of each leg bar until they

stick out of the top. Next, screw the bolts into the attachment points on the beam with the included hex

wrench (G) as shown in the inset above.

3) Slip the rubber feet (C) onto the ends of the leg bars and flip the balance beam upright. You may now use

the balance beam and enjoy! When ready to progress to a taller setting, move to step 4.

4) If the leg bars are attached, reverse the steps above to remove the leg bars from the beam. Then, place

the upper leg supports (E) over the attachment points on the beam (A) with their adjustment holes facing

out and tighten them down with screws and washers as shown in figure 2 on the next page.

5) Next, attach the lower leg supports (F) to the leg bars (B) using more screws and washers, and slip the

rubber feet (C) onto the ends of the leg bars if you haven’t already.

6) With the beam upside-down, slip the lower leg assemblies over the upper leg assemblies on the beam

and make sure that the ports for the height adjustments are turned outward. Then, screw in the height

adjustment knobs (D) on each support until you feel gentle tension. Do not tighten them all the way.

7) Pull on the lower leg support on each side until you hear an audible “click” and the leg stops moving. Now

you may tighten the height adjustment knob fully and the beam should be locked in position. You may

now flip the beam over and enjoy.

8) To adjust the height on the beam again, loosen the height adjustment knob just enough to release tension

and then pull on it to release the locking spring. Pull the beam up or down until it’s at your desired height

and then release the knob and let it click into place, then tighten it down to lock it again. Repeat for each

side.
