Because of its size and weight, assemble the
weight bench in the location where it will be
used. Make sure that there is enough clear-
ance 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 you complete all
assembly steps.
To identify small parts, see page 5.
The following tools (not included) may be
required for assembly:
two adjustable wrenches
one rubber mallet
one standard screwdriver
one Phillips screwdriver _===_

socket set, a set of open-end or closed-end
wrenches, or a set of ratchet wrenches.
