side and to the front or back are made as if you were standing on
a level surface and facing the Smith Machine Rack.
Basic Assembly Principals
Here are few basic assembly tips that can make assembly of your
Nautilus®Commercial Free Weights Smith Machine 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 Smith Machine 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 Smith Machine 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 Smith Machine Rack.
Positioning Your Nautilus® Commercial Free Weights Smith
Machine Rack
Take great care when moving your Commercial Free Weights
Smith Machine Rack into place prior to assembly.
The Smith Machine Rack is heavy and requires at least two people
to safely move from one location to another.
