Basic Assembly Principals
Here are few basic assembly tips that can make assembly of your
Nautilus®Commercial Free Weights Barbell Rack quick and easy.
1. You can make the assembly process go faster by gathering the
pieces you need for each step prior to starting the step.
2. As a general rule, and for all fasteners on your Nautilus®
Commercial Free Weights Barbell Rack , turning toward the
right will tighten, turning towards the left will loosen. An easy
way to remember this is by remembering the expression, “Lefty
loosey, righty tighty.”
3. Not all of the tools needed to assemble your Nautilus®
Commercial Free Weights Barbell Rack are provided. Refer to
the Tool List. You may find the use of a utility knife or scissors
beneficial during the unpacking and assembly process.
4. It is recommended that you use two people to assemble your
Nautilus® Commercial Free Weights Barbell Rack .
Positioning Your Nautilus® Commercial Free Weights Barbell
Rack
Take great care when moving your Commercial Free Weights
Barbell Rack into place prior to assembly.
The Barbell Rack is heavy and requires at least two people to
safely move from one location to another.
