The platforms are spring loaded and will return to the upright position at a high rate of
speed! You will need 3 qualified people to assemble this product!
1. Assembly
1. Have two people grab each end of the spotting platform base tube, with one hand on the platform
and the other on the base tube.
2. Have the 3rd person partially tighten the clamps with a 3/8”allen wrench.
3. Adjust the height to the desired location and tighten the clamp fully. Grab the longer part of the
allen wrench in your hand to tighten the clamp as this will increase your leverage.
If mounting the clamp to the All-American Uneven Bars Long Upright, make sure the
clamp is mounted below the adjusting handle lower range for adjustment.
