GENERAL NOTES
CAUTION: More than one person is required to
assemble this unit. Do not attempt to assemble
by yourself.
Torque Fitness strongly recommends having a
qualified, authorized Torque Fitness Dealer
assemble the equipment.
Unpacking the Equipment
This product is packaged and shipped in multiple
boxes. Parts from all of the boxes are required for
various steps during the assembly process.
Carefully open each box and arrange all parts near
area where assembly is to take place.
CAUTION: Use extreme care when cutting plastic tie
wraps and package banding. Awire cutter works best
for protecting yourself and the parts.
CAUTION: Some of the internal boxes may contain
upholstery. Do not use a utility knife to open any
boxes or the pads may be damaged.
The hardware is packed in separate bags sorted by
step. Carefully open each bag and keep sorted.
Before starting assembly, identify each part and
hardware item as listed in the parts list. If any items are
missing, contact the dealer whom you purchased the
unit from or call Torque Fitness Customer Service.
Note: Some items listed in the parts list may already
be pre-installed on the parts.
§Read all caution notes on each page before
beginning that step.
§Some of the items shown in the assembly
steps may already be pre-installed.
§Note: Some pre-installed parts may need to
be temporarily disassembled in order to
complete a step. Follow the instructions or
damage to the unit could occur.
§Some parts may have extra holes that you
will not use. Use only the holes depicted in
the instructions.
§Certain parts make reference to the right and
left side of the machine. In order to remain
consistent, determine the left and right side
of the machine by sitting with your back to
the rear of the machine.
§Provide ample space around the machine in
order to ease assembly.
§DO NOT fully tighten any connections until
instructed to do so. This will help ensure
that alignment of all of the parts will be
correct.
§Insert all bolts in the direction indicated by
the illustrations. Failure to do so may result
