Before beginning assembly, carefully read the fol-
lowing information and instructions:
• Assembly requires two persons.
• Because of its size, the weight bench should be
assembled in the location where it will be used.
Make sure that there is enough clearance to walk
around the weight bench as you assemble it.
• Place all parts in a cleared area and remove the
packing materials. Do not dispose of the packing
materials until assembly is completed.
• For help identifying small parts, use the PART
IDENTIFICATION CHART on page 5.
•As you assemble the weight bench, make sure all
parts are oriented as shown in the drawings.
• Tighten all parts as you assemble them, unless
instructed to do otherwise.
