Nautilus NS600X
BEFORE YOU ASSEMBLE
• At least 2 persons reccomended for assembly and installation.
Familiarize yourself with the illustrations to understand what the assembled NS600X will look like.
Select where you are going to locate your NS600X carefully. Assemble your NS600X in the location
and position where you intend to use it. You will need at least 36 inches (.91 meters) on each side of
the NS600X and 36 inches (.91 meters) behind your NS600X during assembly. The rear of the NS600X
can be closer to the wall during use but it is difficult to move after assembly and some room is needed
during assembly.
BASIC ASSEMBLY PRINCIPLES
Here are a few basic tips that will aid in the assembly of the Nautilus® NS600X. By using these
principles, you can simplify each process and save 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 NS600X 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.”

Before assembling this gym, please be aware that this piece of equipment can be assembled in two different configurations.
The Weight Stack can be assembled on either side of the gym depending on what best fits your living space. This is accomplished simply by
assembling the Rear Frame (2), Top Stack Support Frame (8), and Calf Raise / Low Pulley Frame (7) on the opposite side of the machine.
This gym is supplied with an instructional work out diagram which is to be adhered to the Rear Frame (2) back panel. See note in diagram above
for recommended location.
The following assembly instructions show the gym assembled with the weight stack on the left side. To assemble the gym with the weight stack on
the right side, simply assemble the Rear Frame (2), Top Stack Support Frame (8), and Calf Raise / Low Pulley Frame (7) on the opposite side of
the machine as shown in the instructions.
Be sure to place the NS 600X gym as close to its final location before adding weight plates. The gym is designed so that the rear of the frame can
sit directly against a wall. Please allow a minimum of 24” on each side of the gym from the nearest wall or obstruction. The weight stack side of
the gym will need a minimum of 48” from any obstruction. If an attachment such as a leg press is used now or in the future, please allow for 48” on
the side opposite the weight stack.
